I feel like Texas is a bit undervalued. The loss to OU was a bit fluky and they did beat Ohio State. Not sure they are quite on Georgia and Alabama's level but they are a Top 3 SEC team IMO.

Missouri might be the real deal.

Kentucky should get a ton of credit for finding ways to win but I don't think they are a great team.

We rag Arkansas for being at the bottom but I think A&M might actually be the worst team this year.

I would not have guessed Auburn was that high in any of those categories.

In Real Time Strategy games, "Actions Per Minute" used to be a measure of a players skill. But the community eventually realized that some people just sit there and click their mouse rapidly either out of nerves or habit, or in an attempt to drive up their APM.

So the community came up with "Effective Actions Per Minute" EPM which gauges whether those actions are actually going towards a goal.

I think this concept needs to be applied here. If you're good at driving but break down in the red zone, that's yards but not meaningful yards. Similarly if you have a bend but don't break defense (I know that's sort of a meme) then you give up yards but they may not be meaningful.

Something to consider.

Yeah. You look at all of the numbers.

Each set of stats only tells a small part of the story

I know. I was a bit surprised myself.
