UM Numba 1. Good guys unranked. Does this take into account ESPN's who's now ranking? Jesus Peppers must put them over the top.

Peppers advanced stats

Yes it does take September heismans into account
Bill Connelly's S&P+ ratings: SB Nation's favored advanced stat, which arrives a bit later than the others. An important thing to keep in mind: for the first few weeks, it also factors in preseason projections. It'll look pretty weird early on, but it's proved to be a very strong predictor against the Vegas spread over the long term.

So we beat a higher ranked ND team and drop 3 spots. Seems legit.

3 B1G East teams in the top 10

How hard would espn be blowing the SEC right now of they had that....

How much will it only be about 2 of those teams in tB1G

Zero respect till potentially tOSU game if we win that

When you have the greatest player of a generation, you get some extra

Peppers actually lived up to the hype yesterday for the first time.  But the announcers are so dumb. Three or four times they would credit him when he had nothing to do with the play. The first punt block was the best, "Peppers musta blocked that one". Not even sure he was even on the feild.
