[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 16720, member: 195"] I tend to agree with your observations about the conferences; however, the footballoutsiders rankings that I cited are opponent adjusted. Their offense has been legitimately good, imo. I also think the straight Total Offense and Total Defense rankings are misleading because they're based on per game productivity rather than per drive or per attempt efficiency. For example, if you look at yardage, our D is #17 in allowing only 342.6 yds/game. However, we're #61 at 5.45 yds/play. The discrepancy arises because we're #12 in opposition plays. Some of that is our D getting teams off the field, but a lot of that is our offense limiting opposition possessions by emphasizing the run over the pass. I see nothing in the underlying numbers to suggest that we are "a defensive team." We're better than we've been the last few years--and we're legitimately top 20 against the run--but that's about it. If the QB gets the pass off, we're in trouble. Our D is 93rd in completion % allowed at 62.5%, 85th in YPA allowed at 7.4, and 79th in opposition passer rating. [/QUOTE]
