Last week: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27569383/sp+-rankings-week-2-oregon-jumps-10-spots
This week: https://www.espn.com/college-footba...+-rankings-week-3-georgia-moves-ahead-clemson
Arguably the biggest stat-head in football isn't deterred by what happened to the Gophers this week. While the end result was disappointing. The play of the game was not.
The Gophers out-gained GASO 382-198 and out-possessed GASO 37:55 to 22:05.
A lot of what happened in Saturday's game could be deemed 'unlucky' and the the stats are picking up on that.
The 4th and 1 play converts 90% of the time. We hit the unlucky 10%.
Scoop and score touchdowns are extremely rare and blocked kicks are also extremely rare.
Gophers controlled game-flow which is why I think it's a little ridiculous to overreact to what happened this weekend.
Still on pace for that 8 win season and still favored in every game until November.

The most concerning thing that happened this weekend in my eyes was Nebraska's bounce-back performance.
They looked good.
