We'll get a sense for how good Maryland is from that game...

Those numbers are limited to a small sample of 2 games.

into this. There's a very high correlation between the FPI's Top 10 and the Top 10 in scoring margin per game (8 of the 10 are the same). Indicates strength of opponent is likely not really being properly calibrated yet.
No offense to Marshall, but a 62-0 victory over Morgan State (the Thundering Herd's only game thus far) doesn't measure too much. Morgan State also lost by 4 TDs to Holy Cross!

Does the overall efficiency weight the defensive efficiency big time? Alabama is leading that category but way down on offense and ST but overall are #3, and Wisco is only giving up 0.5 to OSU on the defensive efficiency and beating them in the other two but are a spot behind them... Looks like Michigan is by far the most consistent across all three phases.

I read it and am still confused. Somebody in stats might be able to explain it.

With just two games factored in, I'm guessing the fact that we blocked 4 kicks yesterday helped things.

Alabama at 51.2% on offense? As of right now their defense will carry their team. I mean shouldn't their offense efficiency go up when you play the likes of Western Kentucky? If we played them right now I'd bet on our probability of taking them to the woodshed. Go Blue!

these stats are worthless...They are based upon the level of competition played so far.....

Not #1.

I clicked and looked. The teams on the site are listed in order of offensive rating, not overall rating. Look carefully and you will see M with an overall rating of 97... which is the highest and ranks #1.

Sorry - the link was loading the page pre-sorted by "offensive efficiency" instead of "overall efficiency". Fixed now...

Hawai'i #112
Central Florida #96
Colorado State #117
I don't think these mean anything until about the mid-way point really.
