MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Nothing seems amiss in this well-appointed home in a tony New York City suburb…except for the intriguing experiment taking place inside.

Six college students who have cultivated their own “creator” bases have come here to compete against one another in challenges brought to them by Katie Feeney, the up-and-coming sports influencer who now holds forth on ESPN. Their trials and tribulations will be featured in “Best in Class,” a seven-part competition series that will launch August 5th on the TikTok and Instagram channels of Xfinity, the Comcast-owned TV, broadband and phone connectivity service that is shown powering each person’s efforts. The two-minute episodes will drop weekly.
