Mortgage rates have been on a rollercoaster lately, reacting to global drama like cats deciding whether they want to go outside or stay in. Recently, Treasury yields rose as traders adjusted expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, influenced by positive economic data and easing geopolitical tensions. This bond market movement directly impacts mortgage rates, potentially increasing borrowing costs for homebuyers. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for navigating the housing market.
But let’s pivot—because the College Football Playoff (CFP) is serving up even more surprises than the bond market.
For all the talk about the 12-team CFP being an SEC-Big Ten invitational, one-loss Boise State is officially in the club with Oregon, Texas, and Miami—ready to snag a first-round bye as a top conference champ!
Why Does This Matter?
Mortgage rates and the CFP share a weird similarity: Both love drama but deliver underwhelming results. Georgia fans know the pain. Despite the Bulldogs’ top wins, they’re ranked too low to earn a first-round home game. Meanwhile, Boise State’s one-loss résumé has them poised to shake things up in the Group of 5.
