B1G & Nat'l Statistical Rankings

[beorach]

Numbers below, except for SOS numbers, represent the average of z-scores for statistics across a given category. E.g., rushing category stats considered were yards per carry, yards per game, and touchdowns per game. The number given is just the average z-score for those three categories. SOS numbers were calculated by taking the average of all the average z-scores, calculated for each team played across all nine categories. E.g., Nebraska's average z-score for all categories is 0.04 so that figure is added as the eleventh entry to Iowa's SOS calculation cell. The average of those for all eleven team's cumulative z-scores is what you see listed for them under the SOS heading. Only Northwestern, Pittsburgh, and Wisconsin had better figures than Nebraska of the teams on the Hawkeyes' schedule.
