Meanwhile Connelly's S&P+ system dropped Stanford by 13(!) places. Seems turnover luck played a role -- it expected Stanford to be -.61 on the turnover margin while Stanford (obviously) won the turnover battle 3-0. It seems a bit puzzling because Stanford had 11 passes broken up, which is a high number; two picks doesn't at all seem inordinate within that context. But what do I know? 

ESPN FPI moved Stanford up to #10. 

Sagarin kept Stanford stable.

Also, while we technically recovered a fumble that contributed to our turnover margin, it was on fourth down, so we were going to get the ball anyways.
