[QUOTE="Cam, post: 355125, member: 568"] I didn't see a thread for this, so I'm sorry if this has already popped up elsewhere. For those who don't know, Football Outsiders releases rankings of teams offense, defense, and overall performance each year which have seemed to prove pretty reliable. However, they wait until after the 7th week to do so when they have adequate data. The ratings combine two different measurement methods: Fremeau Efficiency Index and S&P rankings. As I understand it, FEI focuses more on the outcome of drives and measures your efficiency in scoring/preventing scoring, while S&P operates on more of a play by play basis. You can read up on their metrics on their site ([URL]http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/fei[/URL]). Here's how we stand so far with our current data: FEI Overall Rank: 48 (not updated to include last week yet) FEI Offense Rank: 23 FEI Defense Rank: 42 S&P Overall Rank: 27 S&P Offense Rank: 33 S&P Defense Rank: 35 I think these are some of the better statistical rankings to look at. Our offense favors FEI, for instance, and you can see that reflected both in our rankings and Army's (6th in FEI and 36 in S&P). It's fun to chart the movement of teams over the course of the season and look at how we fair against higher ranked teams (Miami around top 10) and those lower (Tennessee ~65, UNC ~85, Pitt ~100).
