70 and 50, but yeah otherwise you nailed it.


I was close. I still think top 50 is way too low to win anything of importance.

Last 5 years:

50th: 24.9 PPG

SEC Champ: 17.3PPG

Nat. Champ: 15.5PPG


Both 17.3 and 15.5 are easily within the top 20 every year. Even with aTm's offense, a mediocre defense isn't going to win many titles.

I think it is. As you said 50th was around 25 points per game.

Last season Oregon allowed 22.3 points per game and Ohio St. allowed 22.1:

Your "last five years" perspective doesn't really count because Saban is ruining the curve. When looking at last year teams giving up over 20 points per game were in the hunt.
