Mood

Who is happier

Fan Score counts positive comments per 1,000, so a loud fanbase cannot buy its way up the board. Positive share tells the same story as a percentage of everything said.

Edge

Who is harsher

Negativity, toxicity and explicit language, every one of them per 1,000 comments so the two sides stay comparable whatever their volume.

Tag applications per 1,000 comments

UCLA left, Utah right. Tag applications per 1,000 comments, on the same scale across every row. Reported as rates only: this block never picks a winner.

Shape of the season

Week by week, side by side
