QB CJ Stroud (All B1G, 2022 B1G QB of the Year, All-American, NFL OROY, Houston Texans)

Tennessee plays 4-5 Missouri tomorrow
Ohio State plays 3-6 Indiana

Missouri is 71st in DSC
Indiana is 77th in DSC

By objective measures, they aren't that different

It will be interesting to see how the various networks frame those games; or it would be if I didn't mute the tv when they cut away to the studio

According to DSA, Stroud is likely to have a game ranging from 210-270 (Passing efficiency) tomorrow.
Hooker, on the other hand, is likely to be between 145 and 193 according to DSA.

The quality of the opponent is not that different. It isn't likely to be reported that way.

this is really interesting, look forward to revisiting this

Me too, regardless of outcome

It is always interesting to me to speculate why certain results were different from what DSA predicted. Rigidity, something I didn't do 15 years ago, has added some context there; but I've found that the explanations are often something that can't be found in the numbers.

My favorite example of this was the 2003 San Diego State game. No stats could ever have predicted the bizarre 16-13 win that transpired. I never understood it until more than a decade later when I was listening to a Columbus radio show over the internet. Craig Krenzel, in making a point similar to the one I'm making now, talked about how he had binged some show or other on DVD the night before and had gotten basically zero sleep. The results were quite predictable, but only if you knew what the molecular genetics honor student had done the night before.

I think something similar may be going on with Alabama; I'll post about it over in the CFB Weekly Thread.

I believe his rating was 208 today. Could've been a lot higher too but he had some misfires and a drop or 2.

34 TD
4 INT
And sadly will still probably lose the Heisman to Hooker. Because you know:
