FEI Off/Def/SpT Rankings 2018

[alagold]

Someone should do an analysis to see what percentage of returns start past the 25 yard line, and what our average start is. I'm of the mind due to the reduced risk of injuries and turnovers that you put a guy out there that unless they catch it beyond the 15-18 they fair catch everything.

Depends on how flat the kick is. If it has a lot of hang time, it’s nuts to run it out. If it’s low, you can probably do better than the 25.
There are other factors—how fast you are, how well your team blocks, and so forth. Mostly for us, fair catches rock.

Yea, that’s what I’m getting at. How many kicks did we return past say the 30? How many did we TRY to return but got stoppped before the 20? To me, if those 2 numbers are equal or there’s more inside the 20, then fair catch everything even close.

I do not know the exact numbers you are requesting, but according to FEI our kickoff return efficiency is rank 104. So, not good.

(We're number 1 in punting efficiency though! Go PH3!)

Usually near the end of the year here we start to see these rankings get more and more accurate. If this is any real indication, we should beat Virginia this Saturday.

I'm assuming this is meant to be November 13th?

Gonna keep updating because I like tracking week to week. Looks like we took a small hit in everything except special teams (jumped 39 spots there). UGA is statistically the best team on our schedule, so it's time to buckle up.

Thank you JT for the run back TD and the 2 X 2pt conversions!

You can’t just throw JT around like that. It took me a minute figure out what you meant lol.

PH3 is that the right one?

I didn't want to create a new thread for this, so I will put it here.
@AE 87
I know you have been calculating PPDvsPWR5, I just came across this:
http://www.bcftoys.com/2018-ppd/

bcftoys is the website of the guy who made FEI and it has a whole bunch of other good stuff. The "NPD" stat is the net points per drive, which is the PPD diff for the team while removing garbage time data.

As can be expected, it aligns with most other models and shows our offense was top 20 and our defense sucked.

 

[GTRambler]

Would like to see the data for Minnesota, ahead of our bowl game against them.

Minnesota
FEI: 53
OFEI: 84
DFEI: 38
SOS: 49
Net PPD: -0.01 (66)
OPPD: 2.09 (73)
DPPD: 2.09 (56)

GT
FEI: 71
OFEI: 17
DFEI: 108
SOS: 32
Net PPD: 0.16 (59)
OPPD: 2.98 (15)
DPPD: 2.83 (110)

It is important to note, Minnesota has been playing amazingly better on defense since firing their DC.

How did USF end up 103rd in special teams after TWO scoring kickoff returns against us? How bad did the rest of the year have to be for that to happen?

KRE for them was rank 3.
Every other special teams area was 70+ (with 4 being in the 110s).

Rk Team Rec SFEI SE Rk FGE Rk OFGE Rk KRE Rk KE Rk PRE Rk PE Rk XPE Rk OXPE Rk

Edit: sorry for the formatting but apparently GTSwarm doesn't recognize white space.

I question those stats. The only games where the offense performed well was USF (where bad special teams and D doomed us), Bowling Green (terrible team), and Louisville (terrible team).

Offense had terrible days against Pitt, Duke, and Clemson. Clemson is understandable. The other two teams are not very good.

Clemson was vulnerable to the pass. South Carolina threw for over three hundred yards against them. South Carolina had a good, but not great, passing offense.

Most college teams have a weakness. If it was pass defense, it was no help to us. I don't hate the option, but there are reasons no other P5 schools still run it like we did.

Duke was selling out to stop the run. Even an average passing offense would have blasted them. We couldn't take advantage.

It’s so helpful and productive when people who don’t understand statistics decide to open their mouths.

There is a [ C O D E ] block you can use to preserve white space (kind of). Or you can use “.” marks instead of spaces.

Thanks for looking that up. Too bad we didn’t force them to kick more field goals. They still looked like world class special teams against us.

How many more receiving yards would Calvin have gotten if he had been paired with an elite QB? And think about how many more wins we would have had.

No use that same logic and apply it to the 3-O. Elite or near elite QBs make that scheme run at elite levels. Why is it so hard for people to apply the same logic and reasoning to different but similar concepts?
