Saban is a boa constrictor, squeezing the fun and suspense out of college football. It’s almost like he wants to turn college football into the NFL.

B1G Thoughts:

  • PSU rated significantly ahead of any other team in league so far. OSU is really their only competition, and they are over 6 points behind.
  • Fuck wisconsin
  • MSU, Michigan, and Iowa are clustered here, but no shoulder chips for you, Sparty, you’re still rated highest of the 3. What’s really giving Iowa a boost is that their SoS is the 4th toughest in the country so far (and they still have to play OSU and wisconsin).
  • This is where there’s another pretty big gap to Purdue who has separated themselves from the morass that is Indiana, jNW, Maryland, UNL, and Minnesota.
  • Illinois: Hey, look at Kansas. Yeah, I know, that doesn’t really help.

Other Thoughts:

  • Bama is fully operational. Can someone get lucky?
  • TCU is good, do not sleep on them.
  • Oh, UCF, you had a good run at the top, but this was inevitable. Scott Frost gonna get paid.

High Risers:

  • Beating a solid Washington team zooms ASU up.
  • Fresno State rolling a bit the last few weeks, and blanked the Lobos helps them make a big jump.
  • Not really a surprise to find Cal here.

Free Fallers:

  • Turns out getting blown out by a terrible Tulsa team is bad.
  • Think this is the proper market correction considering where Maryland was.
  • UNL and Purdue had big out of conference matchups with teams that were supposed to be at least decent, well, about that. Louisville and Oregon aren’t looking all that great.
  • Ok, yeah, the same is easily said about Florida and Michigan.

Stats, Elite, and Trasch:

  • Average rating: 36.68
  • Standard Deviation: 21.68
  • Elite teams (+2 stds dev from mean): 80.04
  1. Alabama Crimson Tide
  2. Penn State Nittany Lions
  3. Texas Christian Hornfrogs
  • Trasch (-2 stds dev from mean): -6.67
  1. Massachusetts Minutemen
  2. Georgia Southern Eagles
  3. Charlotte 49ers
  • Spread: 94.40

Average Difference in Rating: 0.73

Overrated Clownfraud Trasch:

Hoeger has been doing this, and I’m just going to sample it.

  • Utah is still getting votes in the AP Poll. Stop that.
  • USF has the weakest schedule in the country, they’re really not that good.
  • Georgia Tech got a vote in the AP poll. Still wildly overrated.
  • Why the hell is LSU ranked?
  • Good teams don’t score 3 points against Cal.
  • Va Tech is good, but probably not top 15.

#Disrespekt:

  • Get those chips on your shoulder Hawks!
  • UCF coming back to earth, still way better than the AP gives them credit.
  • FSU’s fans are crazy and the worst. Still, they’re not that bad.
