I'm changing my source to @statsowar this week. Parker is a great Twitter follow. Look at Illinois!

Crap. Here is the image:
And here's the opponent-adjusted chart for P5 only:

Finally MSU is a Pac-12 team
October 16th, 2022 at 11:53 AM ^
Which are also big ten teams
October 16th, 2022 at 12:25 PM ^
We see you Illinois
October 16th, 2022 at 12:35 PM ^
Bad shit, Jedd
October 16th, 2022 at 2:55 PM ^
Huh...the top two most efficient teams, opponent adjusted, are OSU & Michigan.
Nov 26 should be a spectacular one!
October 16th, 2022 at 11:35 AM ^
ND is literally right in the middle. Guess they really are a 3-3 team.
/checks notes
Oh they lost to 2-4 Stanford at home yesterday to get there? Nice.
October 16th, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
They are who we thought they were.
October 16th, 2022 at 11:41 AM ^
Actually they lost to 1-4 Stanford! 0-4 in FBS. Stanford’s only FBS victory is ND. Which got Stanford to 2-4.
October 16th, 2022 at 11:44 AM ^
Marshall's only FBS win is also ND.
October 16th, 2022 at 12:48 PM ^
"Brush with Colgate", says Stanford.

Ok let's play who would win matchups based on interesting positions on this graph.
1. Indiana v. Texas A&M
2. Utah v. Clemson
3. Illinois v. Bama (cringe)
4. Kentucky v. USC (diagonal line mirror)
October 16th, 2022 at 11:56 AM ^
1. This might actually be a close game. A&M's offense is BAD. They lost 17-14 to App State and failed to crack 20 again against Miami. They also got thrashed by Mississippi State. They played a tight game against Bama's backup QB and barely cracked 300 yards of offense. It's one of those situations where the offense is bad enough for them to lose to anyone. I have A&M here, but not by much.
2. Good game. I'm going with Utah.
3. LOL Roll Tide.
4. This one feels close to me as well. I'm going with USC.
October 16th, 2022 at 12:55 PM ^
Illinois' run this year is cool and all...but yeah Bama's winning that game by 40+
October 16th, 2022 at 3:00 PM ^
I'll play!
- A&M over Indiana
- hmm...good one! Could see Utah over Clemson.
- Bama over Illinois by a few scores
- Intriguing. Prone to expect USC to win against Kentucky.

This graph really makes OSU look like the "unstoppable force" and Mich look like the "immovable object."
Gonna be a hell of a game.

All things setting up for Football Armageddon part 2
October 16th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
41 days...
October 16th, 2022 at 1:33 PM ^
One thing I noticed about the images is that, defensively at least, Michigan gained on the chart when adjusted for opponents while Georgia lost a little bit and OSU quite a bit.
Also on the opponent adjusted chart, OSU is the heavy outlier offensively while Michigan is the outlier defensively. Assuming these statistical points remain the way they are, The Game is shaping up to be a real battle of two really good teams like 2006 and 2016 were.
October 16th, 2022 at 5:29 PM ^
And yet again the match-up is in their stadium.
