He's the guy who calls strength of schedule in this playoff age "a fairy tale, a rainbow, a myth." Look at the last two national champions, he says of Alabama and Florida State, their average strength of schedule is No. 48.
quote:
No team since [2001] is over .500 when trailing at the half. That's not a huge revelation but this is: LSU is the best at 23-23.
quote:
Nick Saban is 57-2 in games when he has "superior talent." SSA keeps a four-year running average of recruiting rankings. If your class is at least 10 spots better than your opponent you have "superior talent."

If you want to travel intellectually off-road, ask Bartoo a key difference between 2014's two strongest conferences. The average Pac-12 recruit, he says, comes from more than 800 miles from campus. That's twice the average distance for an SEC recruit.
Or my favorite:
quote:
Bret Bielema is 54-0 lifetime in games he is "expected" to win. That is defined by winning contests in which you are favored by seven or more at home, 10 or more on the road or 8 1/2 at a neutral site. Meanwhile, the great Saban has a two-game losing streak in that category (Auburn, Oklahoma).

Les likes to keep it a 1 score game going into the half and tries to win it in the 4th, so this is definitely a believable stat. I imagine most of the 23 wins were single possession deficits which don't seem to bother Les no matter the competition

If no one expects greatness from you, you won't expect it yourself.

Actually, that's pretty darn impressive.
I rode Wisconsin like a horse in 2011. They beat the brakes off of everyone*
Except Oregon
