The rankings of TOP and and total/scoring D are meaningless stats without actual values. That's like saying my dick is the third biggest on this board. It's true, and illustrates that I am humble, but doesn't provide context or measurables. I'll admit this TOP point is beaten like a drum and I don't completely buy it, but this is a pretty shakey way to go about debunking it.

I'll counter by saying ags love to criticize Steele for the Clemson gave when he gave up a lot of points. That same season, Chavis allowed the same WVU team ~550 yards of total offense. They both essentially got out-schemed, but one got bailed out by special teams and an offense that could drive the field and eat clock.

I disagree. If I just gave you the average yardage and score given up, that would tell you LESS. The rankings actually give you the context of how well a unit performs in relation to others. When a Chavis defense has to deal with a team TOP that is ranked #103, then nearly every other defense in D1 is getting more help from their offense.

And yet he is STILL outperforming many/most of them.
