Who is Stephen Polacheck?
From Reading, Pennsylvania, Stephen Polacheck is a sports fanatic. At any time during a day, sports are on his mind.
​
A graduate of the Pennsylvania State University majoring in Applied Data Science, he lives and dies by Penn State football.
​
He dreams of one day becoming a data analyst for an NFL franchise.
Stephen was left heartbroken after the 2016 Penn State season, after the 10-2 B1G Champion Nittany Lion team was snubbed of a playoff spot.
​
Putting the blame on human bias and opinions, Stephen set out to find a new way to rank college football teams. Without any human input.
​
Thus the Power Digits were formed.

About 4 days earlier the now famous Saquon Barkley called him "My man!"
