final stats post for the season with an NU focus

[beorach]

The percentile ratings given per stat are relative to those for all teams in all games between FBS teams this season (meaning no games against FCS teams were considered).  The 50th percentile is exactly average while anything less than double digits is absolutely awful.  When I share percentile ratings for an entire category, I've averaged the percentile ratings for all the stats within that category to come up with them.  When I share defensive and offensive rankings, I've only averaged the category averages for passing, rushing, scoring, and total categories (such that only turnover margin has been left out).

 

Here are NU's individual stat rankings, across nine categories, for the 2017 season (and thank heavens I don't have to write 2017-18):

If I average the category rankings for all these categories, here's how the B1G stacks up overall:

 

1	Ohio State	87.40
2	Penn State	83.87
3	Wisconsin	82.48
4	Northwestern	65.30
5	Michigan	62.07
6	Michigan State	61.58
7	Purdue	57.79
8	Iowa	57.62
9	Indiana	51.18
10	Minnesota	44.83
11	Nebraska	31.06
12	Maryland	24.98
13	Rutgers	23.07
14	Illinois	22.93

 

If we really had a good passing offense on the season, you'd think we'd have been able to put up better numbers than a running team like Wisconsin overall.  It's amazing that a Minnesota team, in "year zero," could put up numbers that are appreciably better than ours as well.  This is one of the things I think about when those who sympathize with Mike Riley tell the world it shouldn't only be about the W-L record because it clearly isn't.
