Bill Connelly's S&P+ ratings
SB Nation’s favored college football advanced stat, which tends to perform very well against the Vegas spread.
- Ohio State (A few of these don’t line up with how humans might have them, due to head-to-head results. Computer rankings don’t go strictly by number of losses or transitive results.)

Georgia Overview
The Dawgs had a bye this past week as they prepare for the Cocktail Party against the Gators.
Movers
Fell Out: #19 Michigan
Newcomers: #25 Iowa State
Overrated
#10 Oklahoma and #11 Oklahoma State
Both Oklahoma schools keep on winning but not in convincing fashion. I think they are both playoff pretenders despite both potentially having Heisman finalist quarterbacks.
Underrated
#6 Ohio State
Yes, they stumbled against Oklahoma. But I believe the Buckeyes will bounce back and beat Penn State this week, paving their way for a return to the top 5.
This Week’s Top 25 Matchups
#11 Oklahoma State at #22 West Virginia
#2 Penn State at #6 Ohio State
#4 TCU at #25 Iowa State
#14 NC State at #9 Notre Dame
Upset Alert
Last week, I took Texas over Oklahoma State and was so very close to having a winner there.
This week, I’m still going against Oklahoma State and am taking West Virginia to knock them off.
