An inefficient defense is not necessarily a bad defense.
Try again.

Being last on this list is not good though

The list just doesn't make any sense, and the criteria isn't actually explained. We have no real idea where these numbers come from. How the hell are they supposed to know (in an objective, computerized-poll kind of way) who are the good teams and who are the bad teams after one game, except by looking at who won and lost the first game?

Don't be an arse. You've been a good, non-trolling poster. Try and keep that up.

I'm not sure why these remarks still get made in threads like these

Most understand how flawed these ratings/rankings are with the limited data we have, they can still be interesting/fun to look at

Well damn. Now I feel bad. I thought you were trying to troll me.

The formula has a lot to do with Expected Points Added. The EPA is weighted heavier in closer games (even more so in close games late) than in blowouts (it’s capped at a certain point margin). There is also a strength of opponent component involved as well. The blowout and strength of opponent are the reasons a&m is lower than expected. Nothing wrong with that after week one.
