First, credit to CPJ for bringing this up as a stat he pays attention to. That alone was enough to make GT fans notice it. Second, credit to AE87 for doing some of the original work.
Offensive PPD
Here's the basic methodology. Numerator is offensive points scored, denominator is total offensive drives. I debated whether or not to include XPs and 2 Pt Conversions, but I did include them in the end. Most of this data is pulled manually, so someone feel free to check my math.
((Rushing TDs + Passing TDs) * 7) + (FG Made * 3) + (XP Made) + (2 Pt Conversions * 2) /
(Rushing TDs + Passing TDs + FG Attempts + Fumbles Lost + Interceptions + Failed 4th Downs)
Final Overall Top 15 (FBS Average: 2.22, FBS Median: 2.20, P5 Average: 2.32, P5 Median: 2.25)
1) Oregon (3.73)
2) Georgia Tech (3.55)
3) Baylor (3.53)
4) Marshall (3.45)
5) Georgia (3.44)
6) Georgia Southern (3.41)

78) Clemson (2.09)
91) Virginia (1.87)
109) Virginia Tech (1.61)
124) Tulane (1.21)
Notes:
Here's the basic methodology. Numerator is defensive points allowed, denominator is total defensive drives. Again, including XPs and 2 Pt Conversions. This does not attempt to net out any defensive TDs or safeties from the point total.

Notes:
- Oregon's offense is really, really good. You would think a stat like this one would penalize an offense like theirs that runs a lot of plays, but they are still the best in the country even with this metric. Pretty impressive.
- Our offense is also really good. This will become even more clear when you look at some of the defenses we've faced.
- There's something in the water in Georgia. Three Georgia teams in the top 6, wow.
- A real credit to Clemson's defense that they were able to have the season they had with a significantly below-average offense.
- I don't know that this is surprising, but the ACC was not a great offensive league this year. Overall, a 2.23 average, just over the FBS overall average, but if you take GT out, the rest of the league only averaged 2.12 PPD.

Notes:
- We are not a good defense by this measure at all. 99 out of 128 teams in FBS, 13 out of 14 in the ACC, 56 out of 65 P5. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
- We played some good defenses this year. # 1, 10, 15, 24, 27, 28. And remember, these rankings are AFTER our games with these teams, so we may have bumped them down a bit.
- Clemson's D was absolutely sick.
- ACC was pretty strong defensively. 1.91 overall average, 2nd only to the SEC's 1.80.
