relative stats for FBS teams with a Husker focus

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.

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):


3


Michigan State


15


Maryland


20


Ohio State


23


Nebraska


26


Michigan


28


Iowa


29


Illinois


32


Rutgers


33


Purdue


34


Penn State


39


Northwestern


65


Indiana


66


Minnesota


68


Wisconsin

 
For those that care.  UCF SoS is 82nd.  Puts a few things in perspective.

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.
