CFB National Championship is the Ultimate Test - A BrownBagBets View

Why tonight matters
The College Football National Championship is the last game of the season and the most watched betting event on the board. For many, it feels like a conclusion — or an opportunity to make something right. For us, it’s neither. It’s a test.
The nature of the test
Big games don’t offer better edges. They offer louder noise. Lines are sharper, narratives are heavier, and emotions are harder to ignore. The challenge isn’t finding conviction — it’s maintaining restraint while the entire market focuses on a single outcome.
Where this fits in the month
January has already reminded us how unforgiving variance can be. A winning day yesterday helped stabilize the bankroll, but stability isn’t recovery, and one game doesn’t change a month. What it can do is reveal whether discipline holds when attention peaks.
How we approach it
Tonight’s position is sized deliberately and framed as part of a longer sequence of decisions. The goal is not to let the biggest game feel bigger than it is. That’s how mistakes compound — and how processes quietly fail.
