[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 258100, member: 274"] Answering because you asked, though I don't think my opinion is perfect or unique. I think PPD is more valuable than Totals. In my opinion, Total O and Total D is fine within the context of pace of play. In the post you quoted re: Clemson game, the context that's important is that the 1st half's pace was my proxy for the 2nd half. So really, my point was another iteration of PPD. I also don't think any stat can be taken in vacuum, even PPD. This is probably where some of the debate arises. A couple arguments against PPD: [LIST] [*]If you have the better team, it would behoove you to play more possessions and reduce the variability you get with a low possession game. A team may look good PPD for a season, but volatility between games could be problematic as it translates to individual Wins and Losses. [*]Rhythm is hard to account for in PPD, both offensively and defensively. Said another way, do some Os and Ds get better with more or fewer reps/possessions? How about elapsed time between possessions? I'm not sure if that's measured and therefore may be more of a feel thing. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
