- Oregon isn't good. On either side of the ball.
- Oklahoma's defense definitely not great either
- Cincinnati has been.........pretty bleh
- Penn State/Iowa offense.....pretty bleh
- Michigan is good

Are these opponent adjusted at all?

Nope - only FBS games and non-garbage time, but no opponent adjustment

Looks like he's doing something similiar with just the FEI. Not quite what it use to be, but still does the predicted losses which is what made it great.

Has Arkansas with #1 SOS, Alabama with #29 and Georgia with #65 based on how many losses and elite team would expect to have on the schedule.

Yep - you are right, his SoS metrics are the best. I use those in my silly little stats/rankings as the opponent adjuster because they are by far the best IMHO.

To put that defensive number for UGA into perspective, here's the top 20 in Defensive Available Yards Allowed since 2007. (Data from Football Outsiders)

Without a doubt, I am thrilled to have this metric again. Thanks for the link, I hadn't been to that site in awhile.

It's got so much good stuff. All the drive specific metrics that give you an idea about how teams do in long drive situations, how many times they go 3 and out (and the defensive flip side of it) along with field position, etc etc and how it ranks are such good metrics for slicing through some of the stuff that can fool you.

How are we higher than anyone offensively?

10. Georgia (62.6%)

It appears our offensive troubles may be overstated.

For the record, UGA is far from elite offensively. They’re just also not ineffective to the extent some narratives would suggest.

The clemson game threw a ton of shade on our offense. I thought the shade would start to wear off after our "first real test" vs Arky, and it kinda did, but the shadow still lingers. Maybe after Auburn, our next "first real test" the shadow will finally be gone.

Not that it matters. I kind of like the shadow.

This is one of my favorite stats. It is the best true indicator of offensive and defensive success, IMO.
