[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 77188, member: 322"] Only have a few minutes and have to run but ...... It ain't on the ST. Football Outsiders ranked us #22 (best) last year. I'd take the overall ranking from Football Outsiders with a grain of sand. I couldn't get us to be anywhere near as good as #22 overall for STs. By the same token, looking at the 7 individual rankings they give, we are only lower than 85 in one (Opp LOF). So how it's averaged out is a good question. We aren't top 10, but we aren't that bad. Just looking at what one would think were the most important stats, SFP (starting field position) we avearged 70.3 yards. TO be top 10, we'd have to only improve that by 2.7 yards - or half of an offensive play average yardage. Likewise Opp SFP averaged 69.7 yards to go; to be top 10 we'd have to do 2.5 yards better. These are good stats and interesting, and I think that turnovers, ST, defense, offense and field position are interrelated. Field position is kind of the number needed to balance everything out ........ Since I wrote it down, here's the rankings for each category SFP 60 Opp SFP 73 SFP Del 71 ShF 69 Opp ShF 92 LOF 59 Opp LOF 44 [/QUOTE]
