Aaron Kobren took one placement point from the college football regular season. Notre Dame returned 51, six other shares returned nothing, and the card finished 251st.
A last-place result usually swallows the conversation. Kobren gave it competition with 32nd in March, 41st in the NBA, 47th in hockey and 56th at the World Cup. He never posted a top-ten finish, but he kept collecting scores that traveled.
At 1554.5 points, Kobren held 39th after giving back 2 spots. His season is less about surviving one crater than about how much sound work it took to make that crater look small.
