Stanford Cardinal @ Duke Blue Devils
#1 Stanford Cardinal +9.5

The scoring case here is as clean as anything on this board, with Stanford projecting significantly more offense against Duke's defense than Duke figures to generate against Stanford's, and the cushion is wide enough that this sits comfortably at the top. Stanford also comes in on two weeks of prep to Duke's one, and that rest edge tilts the picture further in their favor rather than against it.

Colorado Buffaloes @ Northwestern Wildcats
#2 Northwestern Wildcats -3.5

Northwestern's scoring picture against Colorado lines up as cleanly as the top spot on this board, with the Wildcats projecting well against a defense that gives up points and holding Colorado well below what their offense typically produces. Both defensive units grade similarly at forcing negative plays, so Northwestern doesn't gain a disruption edge from that angle, but it's a narrow qualifier on an otherwise clean read.
