GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Stable?

Yes Cos ^{(X + Z)} 20:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio?

Earwig shows a 3.8% due to simple phrases such as "the top four teams". Cos ^{(X + Z)} 20:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In case you're still wanting an answer to this, Baylor was No. 4 in the AP poll but No. 6 in the CFP poll; the newspaper is using the AP but this article uses CFP rankings. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:18, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
