Lies, damn lies and statistics. Overall good job. However, you worked in a couple of deceptive stats. If you're gonna subtract the wins against the lesser East teams and non-P5 teams, then you gotta subtract those games from the total games played. We didn't play 112 total games against teams that weren't in the subtracted categories, we played 65 games, as you just said. All the itemized records went through this season - except against the other Big 6 teams. Apparently, you wanted to show a zero win percentage, so you ended that stat at 2014 instead of 2016 because we beat Florida and Georgia this season. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Even if OP adjusts the stats as you suggest, they'll still be quite ugly.

My main point was that UT scheduled and suited up to play in 112 games since 2008. Out of those 112 games, only 10 of them were wins against P5 schools not named Kentucky, Vandy, South Carolina or Missouri.

Look a little bit harder and maybe you'll see it this time. I included the winless stretch from 2010-2014, but I put the record from 2008-2016 first. 4-28 vs other big 6 teams with two of those wins coming from this season. You do the math, if I had left 2016 off, it would've read

2008-2015: 2-27
