Defensive Statgasm for A&M's remaining schedule

Looking at points scored against the defense compared the strength of the offense played.

Here's how it's calculated. I took the teams total offensive rank divided it by the total amount of FBS teams and then multiplied it by the amount of points our D gave up. To add is some control, I only did this for the P5 opponents. I chose the mean to compare as there isn't enough data points to use the median which means statistical outliers will skew the data (like the bama game last year against A&M).

Bottom line to read this: a lower average means a better scoring defense. A lower offensive rank means a better offense. The closer the rank is too 1, the worse the offense.

Here is all the teams remaining on A&Ms schedule plus A&M.



Here is a comparison to our 2014 to this year. I included LSU to see how losing chavis affected them as well.



Before I get accused of trolling LSU. My whole goal in computing this is too see if chavis actually improved our defense and a way to compare it to other teams too see by how much.

I think it's obvious by this and a combination of many other defensive statistics that A&M's defense has improved a lot which I have to give credit to chavis and defensive players getting 1 year older.

Looking at the data, arkansas is really skewing the average for us right now. We had great games against ASU and State but really did poorly against the run D of arkansas.
