We also broke even on turnover margin. We've only finished even or positive on turnovers one other time in the last decade.

The one (and pretty much only) thing I've always given Riley credit for was putting an end to the fumbling saga.

2012 - 22 fumbles lost

2013 - 16

2014 - 13

2015 - 6

2016 - 5

2017 - 2

The 2018 stats have conference championship games figured in but that's about the only difference and didn't likely make much of one besides.  I personally wonder how much of a difference Stanley Morgan made in looking at some of these figures.  The numbers are percentile ratings of the stats from now (given first) and then (2018 season).

GBR !

Based on the average stats of the teams they faced (calculated by taking the average of their opponents' overall percentile rankings correlating to what I share weekly in the nat'l rankings post), these are the SOS rankings for all the FBS conference teams (and, as usual, in fine print you have to click on to enlarge in a separate tab to read):

p.s. - On the plus side, we've played a tougher schedule than Iowa per my very basic calculation here.

p.p.s. - I should have mentioned before that this only takes into consideration what games have been played to date.  Michigan will certainly move up with their game against the Buckeyes, for example.  Minnesota will likely do the same for playing Wisconsin.  Etc.

GBR !

I don't care about the trophies so much as not allowing the streak Iowa has to continue.

Does anyone else remember the Iron Bowl t-shirts Auburn wore back when they had lost to Alabama four games in a row?

I distinctly remember some tiger on them with a caption of, "Stop the Thumb."

I admire the level of commitment to drama and football alike in those parts of our country.

  Jinkies!  I think there's some writing there!

Congrats on being the latest Husker fan to crack on the presentation of my calculations' results (likely without reading what I wrote about it)!

p.s. - Can someone help me out with a .gif depicting a deceased horse, in an open box resting on discarded gift wrapping paper, being subjected to both an oral inspection and a savage beating?

The numbers are averages of average percentiles for figures from the following statistical categories (as appropriate): pass d/o; rush d/o; scoring d/o; total d/o; and turnover margin.  You can click on the data cells pasted below a couple of times to make them more legible but I think it opens up another tab in your browser in my experience, at least.  You get what you pay for, I guess, but I'll take any free advice as to how I might be using the board wrong also.

They're all percentiles.  Wisconsin has 7 passing TD's in conference play while Nebraska has 4.

I average percentile scores in my other weekly post devoted to all conference teams and the P5 conferences themselves in FBS.

p.s. - The fumbling is what surprised me last year when I bet Wisconsin against Northwestern and they took Taylor out at half because he had at least three or so...  Hornibrook was diagnosed (or suffered) with a concussion after I placed that one, too.  I'd like to see another ugly game from them this weekend but don't suppose we get that lucky.

Considering we're 4th in RO and fifth in TO, it sort of speaks to how we've managed to move the ball and just don't have much to show for it.

I'm confused yet again. Do we get to play Purdue for a rematch?

Fixed - thanks

Bored so I'm adding the conference rankings, based on the average averages for all the usual categories I'm tracking...

The NFL draft gives a pretty good indication, too.  When's the last time we had an early pick?  Randy Gregory?

We have a long way to go, Big Red.

People are awfully picky about what they get for sliding and clicking a mouse.

Two examples of criticism that's not constructive and one "like" from about 200 views are obviously not why I posted what's above.

Just like every week, I'm only considering stats from conference games.  The numbers are percentile rankings (such that 100 is the best rating you can get and 0 the worst).  No adjustment has been made to reflect strength of schedule differences either.

I was hoping for something with smaller type.

 

You click on those and windows should open with still one other level of magnification available.  This is the best it has been in the years I've been sharing these figures.  I.e., even the quality of the communication is relative! 

All the numbers for each team come from games against their conference foes so we can see who's really dominant versus their peers alone without uneven OOC scheduling tainting anything.  Categories of stats used are: pass d and o, rush d and o, scoring d and o, total d and o, and turnover margin.

Thanks,  I'm  a few generations removed from my great-great-grandmother who emigrated from Ireland. So I suppose things are a bit Anglicized.        I'll try to remember the correct phrase moving forward.

 

   I have made deposit to go to the game in 2021. Should be fun.  GO BIG RED!

I had all of one survey-depth Irish Gaelic class or I'd be just as confused, brother.  I might see you over there because it sounds like my dad wants to go maybe...  GBR!

I'll have you know I'm upwards of 12% Irish!  Also, lighten up Francis.

I almost added a Stripes line to my response.  Why are you posting a GIF with "I don't care" in it if you do?  That's rhetorical.  I just don't get answering someone else's mail like a jerk.

Hey, first of all, I rarely have to "feign" my stupidity, brah. But there was no disdain at all - it was a joke based on your wording in the prior post.

 

Secondly, we all appreciate your insight in this thread, it is more informative and valuable than most HB posts. Kudos to you sir. Now calm down and buy me another Guinness.  

I appreciate that, Ulty, and take it back.  I will admit that I was partly affected by past experiences here that haven't been pleasant.
