ESPN Team Efficiencies Update, 2017 Week 7

Submitted by Ecky Pting on

The updated ESPN team efficiency ratings have been posted and the Wolverines are at #27 (up from #33) overall after stymying the Hoosiers with an OT goal line stand for the 2nd time in Bloomington in a row.

The U-M splits are offense, #97 (up from #105); defense, #5 (down from #4); and special teams, #30 (down from #26).

Of U-M's 2017 opponents, Ohio State maintains the mantel of most efficient in the B1G at #2 (up from #4), two ahead of next-best Penn State at #4 (up from #5). Meanwhile Wisconsin backslid to #15 from #14. Indiana, at #28 (down from #22) slips back behind Michigan. Quite disgustingly, Sparty, at #26 (up from #32), stays one ahead of Michigan.

Overall, Michigan moved ahead of one of its opponents this week. So, M is now rated lower than four of its opponents for this season. Two are in the top ten (same as last week), 5 are in the upper quartile of the ratings (same as last week); 8 are in the upper half (down from 9 last week); and one is in the lowest quartile (only Cincinnati remains below the threshhold).

These stats seem to confirm what I have seen with PSU that despite Barkely and a returning starter at QB, it's really their D that is the strength. Should be fun!
