2006 Texas has a unique feature - the Horns held opponents to only 2.3 yards per rush, but allowed 7.5 per pass attempt.  
So in Whoa Nellie, they've got the best run defense rating (-4) and the worst pass defense rating (X).

WOW!
I just created 1973 Alabama for an order and their offense is incredible!  
1973 was a special year, as the top 6 teams going into the bowls were all undefeated helmets (Penn St was probably fringe back then, but I digress).  

When I notice a certain team having a great offense (especially a run-heavy one), I tend to compare it to 1971 Oklahoma.  The Sooners squad that just fell short in one of the games of the century - it averaged 12.8 yards per pass attempt and 6.6 per rush.  These are both insanely high - the 12.8 is among the highest ever (yeah, they rarely passed, but it paid off!) and the 6.6 is top-5 all time (that I've found).  

And the '73 Tide?
13.5 yards per pass attempt
6.1 yards per rush

They also had a great defense, as all the top teams did back then.  It's truly incredible that ND was able to beat them 24-23 in the Sugar Bowl that year.

I thought this worth a share:  of the 54 teams listed in the next 4 orders I'm making, I don't have to create any of them.  It's fantastic!

I failed to mention it here, but our 1-year anniversary of being a thing was 9/13.  So that's cool.  

We've got a sale this week to celebrate.

Not sure if I've mentioned this, but UNC has a surprisingly thorough football archive.

So a friend of mine with time on his hands was able to go through and count up how many of each team was sold during our first year of business.  He offered and wanted to do it and enjoyed doing it, so I don't feel so guilty.

Anyway, this is something I'm teasing on the FB page and thought it would interest many of you.  
Before I post them, does anyone want to make a guess on the top 10 teams ordered this past year?
