All we need is Boone’s game prediction to come to fruition (
) and to not play down to competition for the rest of the season.
This seems like the right thread for this:

Does this now mean Ed Oregon will be given credit for the LSU passing attack?
Not much movement for us this week at all. K-State will be the best defense we’ve faced according to the smart guys.
Here’s a cool chart from reddit that takes the SP+ rankings and projects records (explanation and links to other teams here):

You beat me to it Doug. I love this chart.
So I don’t have to wade into reddit every week? I can just wait around here for you to post it in this thread? 
Picks
SP+: OSU 32-25 (66% chance of a win)
FEI: OSU by 15 (77% chance of a win)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but SP+ doesn’t factor in the loss of the qb does it? That’s the score assuming Alan Bowman is playing?
correct, the system does not take injuries/suspensions/etc into account
When’s the last year Tech’s defense had a better ranking in SP+ than their offense? Ever?
Most likely outcomes:
7 wins 34%
8 wins 30%
6 wins 18%
9 wins 12%
Iowa State and Baylor all of a sudden look like difficult games coming up, which is laughable, but whatever…
Predictions
Vegas: Pokes by 3.5
SP+: Baylor 30, OSU 29
Sagarin: Pokes by 2
FEI: Baylor by 7 (!)
You forgot to look at the uni/homecoming factor (painstakingly calculated). Pokes by 14.

Somebody take Dave’s graphs away.
It would be harder than convincing Gundy to quit calling the fade
