I still think nbody is as good as some teams last season. 
Late to this, but this is the kind of season I enjoy.

Net points per drive - which removes garbage time and only counts FBS vs FBS.

Michigan #1 overall (#5 O and #1 D).

Maryland 6th, Ohio State 12th, Penn State 13th.

Eh, it still counts games against shit FBS teams, so I don't find it particularly interesting.  Cross-reference that with some sort of power index that takes into account quality of opponent, and then it might mean something.

I'm not sure uf they use it to do a ranking but the College Football Nerds use a model that compares yards per play to the opponent's average. 

Ie, if Ohio State and Michigan both rush for six yards per carry but tOSU does it against a team that usually allows eight that is bad while if Michigan does it against a team that usually allows three that is good.

I'm not sure about everything in their model but I like the methodology at least in theory.

Yeah I like that methodology.

I also like how you very politically selected your example to show tOSU as the one that did poorly, and Michigan as the one doing well.

Or, are you just being sneaky and trying to lull the Wolverine fans into a false sense of security?  You sneaky bastage!

Few fan bases are as paranoid as Michigan's.  There's no security when it comes to football.

LoL, it was just "political", using an example that looks bad for my team seems better.

I was watching them last night and one thing they said about Michigan was that on the defensive side their model may underrate Michigan. 

Defensively their model compares the yards per play rushing and passing that a given team allowed to that opponent's average yards per play rushing and passing. They mentioned, however, that if your opponent is only averaging say 3 yards per rush, it becomes *REALLY* difficult to beat that by much.

Yeah I think we have some kind of game this weekend against some annoying team that wears a shade of red.  Don't recall who, I'm sure it's not a big deal.
