beorach Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 By tracking z-scores for individual stats within the categories of passing defense and offense, rushing defense and offense, scoring defense and offense, total defense and offense, and turnover margin, I've then taken the average of those for each category...and even averaged the averages to come up with rankings for conferences. The simpler way to say it is I've tracked the difference between the statistics of these P5 teams and the national averages for all 128 FBS teams from games against other FBS teams only. The following is what I came up with for rankings, in descending order: Average Strength of Schedule SEC (+) ACC (+) B1G (+) Big XII (+) Pac-12 (+) Average Statistical Performance Overall SEC (+) B1G (+) Big XII (+) ACC (+) Pac-12 (+) Average Statistical Performance Defensively SEC (+) B1G (+) ACC (+) Pac-12 (-) Big XII (-) Average Statistical Performance Offensively Big XII (+) Pac-12 (+) SEC (-) ACC (-) B1G (-) p.s. - A plus or minus after the conference indicates that conference's average figure is above or below the national average, respectively. p.p.s. - The teams with below average ratings, for statistical performance overall, in each conference are as follows (in descending order again and with no adjustment for SOS): Minnesota Illinois Indiana Texas Miami (Florida) Missouri Arizona Georgia Tech South Carolina Colorado Boston College Iowa State Virginia Vanderbilt Kansas State Wake Forest Purdue Rutgers Syracuse Maryland Oregon State Kansas p.p.p.s. - The offensive passing and rushing rankings are below, with the average z-score for these categories given for each conference: Passing big xii 0.429 pac 0.429 acc -0.020 sec -0.111 b1g -0.199 Rushing big xii 0.438 pac 0.184 b1g 0.054 sec 0.030 acc -0.132 Quote Link to comment
