[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 226364, member: 195"] Okay, so I just looked at my calculations of the data since 2008 (pts per drive allowed vs BCS AQ or Pwr 5). The average for teams playing more than 2 such opponents ranged from 2.10 (2009) to 2.32 (2013) -- A defensive 2.2 ppd v p5 is probably a good rule of thumb for an average Pwr 5 D. The 40th ranked D during these 8 years ranged from 1.91 (2008) to 2.15 (2010). 2008 was an outlier with every other year being 2.1 to 1 sig dig. So better than 2.1 ppd v p5 would be good rule of thumb for a top 40 number. The 30th ranked D for these years ranged from 1.78 (2008) to 2.01 (2013). While this number is fairly fluid, 1.9 ppd v p5 seems to be a pretty good rule of thumb for top 30. The 10th ranked D ranged from 1.34 (2009) to 1.68 (2014), so 1.5/1.6 ppd allowed v P5 seems a pretty good rule of thumb for top 10. 2008 was the only year that we had a better than average D by this metric (1.88, #38).
