Classic. Hogs are running away with the lead for YPP and for the lead in most yards given up per play.
I suspect the delta is an all time record.

Kind of like LSU in 2023 except you're not as good as them on the offensive side of the ball. Fun games though, except for the end.

How do you think LSU feels?
In truth none of the positive numbers here are very good. In the four team playoff era, you'd be the worst team most years with A&M's numbers.
In the four team era, only one team made it with a negative YPP number vs. power conference teams and they are regarded by most to be the worst team to play in the playoff: 2015 Michigan State.

AU is the exact opposite. 2nd best defense, and worst offense. Will be an interesting game Saturday.

Problem is that still isn’t adjusted for opponent and it doesn’t always correlate to points in the modern era because some of these modern offenses basically break in the red zone.
For example if you adjust for opponent and look at avg PPD this is what the SEC looks like:
NET PPD
5) Vandy 1.91
6) Bama 1.65
7) OU 1.64
8) UGA 1.51
14) MIZZ 1.36
15) A&M 1.35
16) Texas 1.35
17) OM 1.27
38) TN .68
43) AU .53
45) MSU .51
49) LSU .45
85) ARK -.3
87) UK -.35
90) UF -.43
100) SC -.72
Now you stack that list up next to records and rankings and it’s a great correlation.
Net YPP particularly not accounting for opponent isn’t going to tell you what it used to (ie efficiency) because the leagues and schedules are so heavily imbalanced in modern football.
Good half season SEC schedule > bad half season schedule
Avg half season SEC schedule >>> avg half season B10 schedule
Avg half season SEC schedule >>>>> avg P4 conference schedule

You’re missing Vandy

I'm sorry, but it's worked really well for awhile. Teams with low ones don't win championships. Teams with high ones do.
I believe the lowest vs. Power conferences in the four team playoff era to win the title was Clemson in 2016 and they were still better than A&M this year.
Think your 2015 was the second lowest and they were still at about 1.5 NYPP.
Ohio was over 2.0 last year.
If you want good news, only three teams above 2.0 this year so far and they are all kind of suspect.
And it makes perfect sense why. Your D is giving up explosives if you have a high DYPP and your O is not getting explosive plays if your OYPP is low. Explosives are the second biggest stat that correlate to winning.
Even if you want to say you'd be positive if you had played some weaker SEC teams, it's not gonna flip you from negative to 1.5 positive. You are negative in the stat against the teams you've played.

No. The best four teams didn't always make it.
Posted on 10/22/25 at 11:13 am to koreandawg
Based on the schedules remaining for some of these teams, I see a few potential movers.
Tennessee offense down: We play some decent defenses down the stretch
Tennessee defense up: We've played the best offenses we will see already
I would bet Georgia's defense goes up and offense goes down too.
Oklahoma's should go up
Gotta think Texas' talent leads to at least a few offensive breakouts

What !meaningful stats. Looks like Tennessee and LSU are ahead of us in every category. So I guess we didn't just beat UT by 17 and LSU will kick our arse in BDS. lol

Nope. Tennessee and LSU aren't national championship caliber teams. Judging from a decade and a half of history, no one here really stacks up. It'll take a lot for any of us to get the stats to look like a legit contender. A&M needs to step up and not have games like last week. UGA is a good yard per game away from getting there. Heck, some of us are in negative yardage land.

Makes a good case for the old axiom, stats are for losers

Yeah, the thing is it doesn't work like that. When you go look at those elite teams from the past, they just beat the crap out of almost everyone and had a huge edge in the stat in almost every game. It wasn't built simply by beating the bad teams badly. Bama and Georgia actually would mash more against ranked teams because they were up for those games and still clearly better. Case in point: UK in 2022 pulled our NYPP down. The Vols helped it go up. As the great coaches say: It's not about them. It's about us.

Second half of A&M game and first half of UF game are really fricking us in these statistics. Kind of crazy how bad we are when viewed this lense.. I feel like our defense has done really well this year.

From a Bama perspective, that list included last Saturday's game against Tennessee where Tennessee had 410 yards of offense. But a lot of those yards were trash yards when the game was over and Bama was just playing prevent to run out the clock. I get that's part of the game, but just pointing out that in a game that was still competitive, those yards would have never happened.
