- I think Ole Miss is too low and Rutgers too high. Guessing that has to do with the SoS and the limited number of games.
- Don't understand FSU being that low at all, but LSU dropping like a rock hurt them and they almost lost to #85 Boston College, which also hurts. Still, expect them to be Top 10, not #25. That will probably work its way out.

Have you been doing this all year? Would love to look at previous versions if so

Kind of the first week where there is enough data to only use current year information. Previous versions were filled with a lot of prior year filler data.

And along with Michigan by a pretty wide margin (+6.5 better than #3 Oregon, +10 better than #5 Ohio State). Michigan is still a bit of an unknown with their schedule, but Texas is legit. Think we'll find out how legit Oklahoma is on Saturday.

LSU 1 offense, 98 defense.
Lincoln Riley is very proud of them.

I am drunk on the burnt orange Kool-Aid this week. OU hasn’t played anyone and they struggled with 2 DL at Cincinnati. It’s a weird game where anything can happen, but I think we have a good chance to win by 14+
Definitely the best team we have had in a long time. Nice work on the rankings..
I’m interested in that Fresno @ Wyoming game this week. I feel like Wyoming is a lot better than their 74 ranking. Other computers have them low as well.

It's because they've won 2 games where they were outgained by hundreds of yards along with pretty clunky games against Portland State and New Mexico. Texas Tech outgained them 431-320. App State outgained them 417-208! That Texas game is probably the best all around game they've played this season.
But hey, winning is all that matters. Just doesn't appear super sustainable.

I'll be interested to see how your spreads look next week.

The backup QB that played against us is better imo.. they also ran a completely different defense than anything they had on tape. I’m not sure if they went back to their regular D or if teams knew to prepare for both going forward.

I like Bean but I think Daniels is the better QB. Bean was rattled/amped early, finally calmed down a little, and then got rattled/amped again. I think more amped than rattled.

Daniels > Bean (but Bean is pretty good imo)
But I was talking about Wyoming in my post above.. the backup is better than the starter imo

Some other weekend picks based on the numbers. Maryland is another team that is a mystery because they haven't played anyone. That game will be interesting.

Tiger rant: imagine if we started nuss at qb. We’d be better and would score on every drive instead of 80% of them

LSU with a top 100 defense!

I know, we’re wasting probably the second best offense we’ve had at lsu ever with the worst defense that I can remember at lsu but I’m only 36 years old so maybe they have had worse.
The good thing is that if we can get younger guys some experience they will get better by the back end of the schedule . If we can survive mizzou and auburn then we are still in position to win the west by beating y’all and aggie.
Just have to get there with everything still in tact as far as conference record goes. They might make some changes to personnel this week

I really like Arizona +19 vs USC and I think they might win the game outright.
