In a thread about scoring defense, you post a response showing total yards allowed by defense?
You do know that there is a more appropriate stat to the topic at hand?
The stat which specifically measures opponent scoring.
Don't try to explain to these swampy mud boys that these raw ncaa stats don't really mean a whole lot.
They can't hear you.

I agree. Especially since the person could technically end up right.
Unlikely, but possible.

He's also a dumbass by bringing up Sagarin & SOS. Those two are meaningless in this discussion. A more intellectual poster would have taken those top 10 defensive rankings & broken them down by opponents offensive yardage & scoring rankings instead. You can't fix stupid.

Obscure blog you say, with 150.7K followers?

Yet I posted where LSU ranks #20 in the nation & #4 in the SEC in scoring defense on top of the #2 & #1 in the nation & SEC when it comes to yardage.

LSU has an overall top 5 defense in the nation. Deal with it.

Your 150K is in fact obscure in the X universe that has over 1/2 billion members, but congrats on your 0.028% market share. Even drugged out Britney Spears has 282 times as many.
Keep it up. You will get there one day.

I dont mind raw numbers.
Numbers are numbers.
But when the discussion is "kentucky will score 0 points", it is intentionally stupid to post yardage stats.
He then posts scoring stats when prompted, and there is nothing in those stats to imply that Kentucky is going to be shutout.
He own-goals twice.

It is because judging raw yards allowed (rushing/passing) and points allowed has become antiquated. That is essentially what NCAA "total stats" does.
Yes, it is a data point. No, it doesn't really paint a full picture of the actual "total" defense.
Efficiency rankings do a much better job of evaluating the entire defensive unit while accounting for opponent strength and garbage time. It is a much better picture
Although, efficiency data really isn't a great predictor until about week 7 of CFB to get a better sample size and allow for all of the data and comparison points to mature.
The raw stats of rush yards allowed, pass yards allowed, and points allowed holds value, but even late into the season, it is not the best tool available. It makes for fun shite talk when your team is ahead in a category, but it isn't overly helpful at face value alone. The advanced data behind the raw data is more useful.
I found the BCS era comment earlier kind of ironic, as the raw stats yardage/points data was made relatively obsolete in the BCS era when computer modeling and advanced metrics started gaining notoriety. And, yes, Sagarin was a leader in that advancement rather you agree with his methodologies or not.

It’s extremely unlikely we actually goose egg anyone this year.
1st team defense has been disgusting save for one half against Ole Miss, but huge drop off after starters (the one exception being DL, we have some depth there)… and you need depth to pitch a shutout. 1s can’t play every snap every game.
Cats also have the best OL we have faced, so this will be a good test.
