Use Cases

Game day intelligence on demand

Real scenarios where AI agents powered by college football data keep fans engaged, informed, and coming back to your platform every week of the season.

Instant Scores for Saturday Night Visitors

A fan visits your sports media site at 11 PM and asks 'What was the final score of the Georgia game?' Your AI Agent queries CollegeFootballData's games endpoint for the current week, finds the Georgia matchup, and returns the final score with a link to your full recap. The fan gets their answer in seconds instead of scrolling through your site, and your page views increase as they dive deeper.

Rivalry Matchup History for Tailgate Debates

Two fans are arguing about the all-time series record between Michigan and Ohio State. Your AI Agent calls the Team Matchup History endpoint with both team names, retrieves the complete head-to-head record including wins, losses, and point differentials across decades of rivalry games. The debate gets settled with verified data, and your platform earns trust as the definitive source.

Recruiting Intel for Offseason Engagement

During the offseason, a subscriber asks 'Which SEC team has the best recruiting class this year?' Your AI Agent pulls composite team talent rankings from the recruiting endpoint filtered by conference, ranks them by talent score, and presents the top programs with their national ranking. Fans stay engaged with your platform year-round, not just during the season.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of college football data can the AI agent access during fan conversations?

The agent can pull game scores and results, team and player statistics (passing, rushing, receiving, defense), AP and Coaches Poll rankings, betting lines from multiple sportsbooks, team rosters, coaching records, recruiting rankings, transfer portal data, NFL Draft picks, play-by-play logs, drive data, advanced analytics like PPA and SP+, conference membership history, and venue information.

How far back does the historical data go?

CollegeFootballData.com maintains records dating back to 1869 for game results and team records. Player statistics are available from more recent decades, and recruiting composites start from 2015. Roster data begins in 2009. Your agent can answer questions about historic rivalries as easily as last week's scores.

How do I obtain a CollegeFootballData.com API key?

Visit collegefootballdata.com and create a free account. Your API key is generated automatically upon registration. Copy it from your account dashboard and paste it into the College Football Data tool configuration in your Tars dashboard. The API key authenticates every request the agent makes.

Can the agent provide betting lines and odds for upcoming games?

Yes. The Betting Lines endpoint returns spread, over/under, and moneyline data from multiple sportsbook providers for any game. You can filter by team, conference, week, and season. Note that displaying odds may be subject to your jurisdiction's regulations, so configure accordingly.

Does the agent cover FCS teams or only FBS programs?

Both. The API includes dedicated endpoints for FBS and FCS team listings, and game data covers matchups across all divisions. Whether a fan asks about Alabama or North Dakota State, the agent can retrieve scores, stats, and roster information for their team.

What happens during the offseason when no games are being played?

The agent remains useful year-round. During the offseason, it can pull recruiting rankings, transfer portal entries, NFL Draft results, historical matchup records, returning production data, and preseason poll projections. College football content does not stop in January.

How is this different from embedding a sports ticker or scoreboard widget?

A scoreboard shows static scores. A Tars AI Agent with CFBD answers any question, like comparing two quarterbacks' EPA per play, looking up a coach's career record, or finding how many SEC players were drafted in the first round. It is interactive, searchable, and conversational across web chat, WhatsApp, and messaging apps.

Can I limit the agent to only serve data about specific teams or conferences?

Yes. When configuring the tool in Tars, you can set default parameters or instruct the agent to always filter by a specific team or conference. A site covering only Big Ten football can restrict responses to Big Ten data, ensuring fans receive focused, relevant answers.
