relative stats for FBS teams with a Husker focus

Recommended Posts

I've shared details on what I'm posting here and, from this point on, the only difference is games against lower division opponents will no longer be counted.  There have been enough games played between FBS teams now.  Eventually, I might share stats from games played only between P5 teams as well.  I'm using cfbstats.com and teamrankings.com.  p.s. - I'm not sure I like the SOS ranking methodology at teamrankings.com because I just don't see that our schedule and Wisconsin's have been roughly the same to date.  If that was the case, I'd have less reason for hope as well.

 

Nebraska Cornhuskers by percentile (relative to national averages across the listed categories from 4 games played)

 

Pass D: 47.0 (was 42.7 before Illinois game)

Look at what team is #2 in your rankings... more data that Scott Frost should be the next HC... :)

 

The Golden Knights have posted some great numbers so far.  Their worst category is passing defense and even then it (their average for all those pass D stats shared above for NU) is still above the 66th percentile.

Per my 'p.s.' note above, here's a different SOS ranking list from Congrove (# is the national rank out of 130 teams):

28 Iowa
29 Illinois
32 Rutgers
33 Purdue
34 Penn State

Where are you getting your SOS stats?

 

According to Sagarin, UCF has the #65 SOS.  Nebraska has the #69 SOS.

To further build on that let's compare the wins of the two teams based on their Sagarin rating.

 

NU - 45

Illinois - 96

Arkansas State - 103

Rutgers - 108

 

UCF - 23

Maryland - 55

Memphis - 61

FIU - 156

 

Edit- UCF beat FIU not FAU

Just to clarify what I've shared (and I think Soup is looking at the same), here's the Congrove link:

 

http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/rankings/

 

All he's doing is taking the average power ranking of all a team's opponents.  I used to do the same with my percentiles but I don't have a quick way set up so that gets painful looking up and adding another team for up to 130 each week.
