Week 4 big-game preview
Not a pick — a production forecast. Our ratings
carry no win/loss input, so there is no spread here. What there is: each side's
pass and rush units measured against the other's, and the stars' stat lines
projected with the same opponent adjustment the engine uses to rate the games
themselves. Numbers are the adjusted projection — season form shifted
by this specific opponent.

Unit elos are each team's most recent pre-game rating; percentiles
rank them against every FBS unit active this season. Player projections use
matchup_project's engine-consistent adjusted form (season average plus the
inversion-derived opponent delta), the variant that beats the season-average and
league-median baselines in backtest. Stars are chosen by current rating and
in-team usage share. Forecasts, not guarantees — we grade them next week.
