[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 487921, member: 195"] Okay, so I understand the spirit with which the OP was intended, but a case can be made. My Points/Drive vs Power 5 (at least 3 pwr 5 opponents) stat reduces the assessment of a team to how well its offense scores points and how well its defense prevents scoring. The assumption is that Special Teams play is cooked into those numbers and that otherwise, like run-back scores, it might affect individual games but not the assessment of the team as a whole. Here's where we stand now, comparing my calculated PPD stat rankings compared to the AP and Coaches' polls: [ATTACH=full]4493[/ATTACH] I've included a ranking based on both OPPD - DPPD and OPPD/DPPD. There's agreement on who the top 4 are. ND gets the nod in the polls because they won the opening game against Michigan. There's also basic agreement on the top 9. However, with georgie and LSu, you begin to see the polls' preference for the SEC. Now, obviously, there's always a strength of schedule argument that can be made (part of the reason I require at least 3 Pwr5 opponents for my stat). However, when you consider how well the stat works for identifying the top 4 and the top 9, the fact that GT comes out as either #19 or #20 certainly seems to make the case for GT being in the top 25.
