FEI Defense Ratings (DFEI) are opponent-adjusted possession efficiency data representing the scoring advantage per non-garbage possession a defense would expect to have on a neutral field against an average opponent offense. The relative strength of opponent offenses faced (OOA) is the...
Looks like cfb-graphs is gone, but might have been absorbed by college football insiders (interesting name since football outsiders is now dead).

I just ran across the today and have been checking it out. I like the match up analyzer...
Duke is currently ranked 33 in DFEI.
OOA is "opponent offenses faced" and that is rank 101. So really, Duke has performed well, but their opposition has been really poor. Their non-adjusted value is .43 (22nd) and strength of schedule reduces it to .25 (33rd). I have questioned in recent years...
We put up those 24 points in 8 drives.
Our ninth drive was 8 play 3:40 and left them no time on the clock.
3 points per drive is currently top 25. If you want to count the final drive that 2.67 which isn’t terrible.
I hope he's okay, but that was just an incredibly stupid decision. It was the first quarter 6 minutes into the game. No reason to lower head into 4 defenders.
Looking at pure W/L rankings, Louisville and Syracuse have bottom 100 strength of schedules right now. If they keep winning, it'll obviously improve, but as of right now they have beaten a whole bunch of nobodies.

Even giving them 6 points on two possessions, that’s still only 2.3 ppd. I don’t think we should beat our chests over the defense, as they certainly didn’t do enough to outright win. Special teams and offense definitely deserve what blame there is to give for the loss though.
Our offense...
We gave up 2.14 points per drive. That isn’t stellar, but it is definitely enough to win. By comparison we gave up 3 ppd and 3.88 ppd to FSU and Cuse respectively. I don’t think our defense is having a good year, but it was not the problem on Saturday.
I am about 99% certain that this is one of the major components PFF grades on.

A coach is also subjective. The main benefit of the coach is they know the play call and they know what the intended result is. It still sounds like PFF at least tries to get around this...
I looked, but so far it seems that the number of possessions are *not* down across FBS compared to last or the previous years. Total number of plays seems to be down though.
One thing I want to do later is do a splits based on % of run plays and show how that has influenced total number of...
I plan on doing this across NCAA later tonight when I have time. It's easy for a single team in excel, but won't easily scale without me writing a script for it.
2014: 20.2
2015: 22.5
2016: 21
2017: 23.1
2018: 19.4
Even in the final flexbone years we were averaging well more. Clearly, it is only three data points so far this year, but the fact of the matter is we have possessed the ball well below normal, which is going to drive our variance up even...
