S&P+ has Washington (not including this week yet) at #7. Just in terms of pure ypp they're #25 (that's including this week), which is behind Northwestern (though no one else we play). Isolating in conference games makes them look even worse, #53, behind Utah and Northwestern. If you isolate Power 5 teams (cfbstats is neat) they're barely ahead of us.

If you look at YPP differential (just against Power 5), they're negative  -.31, and #49 (odd that so much of the country is negative). We're #19, at 1.09 just ahead of Alabama and the last team >1. Only team we play that's ahead of us is Notre Dame. Oregon is #29 at 0.31.

Does all of this mean anything? I dunno, but I was bored. Note that Power 5 includes our faceplant against Northwestern, so I think this actually undersells us by a bit.
