SEC Team Rankings by Yard Per Play vs Opponent Averages

How did you perform (Yard Per Play, Yard Per Pass, Yard Per Rush) compared to what your opponent averages allowing (and visa versa for defense) against all their other Power 4 opponents.
Gives a little more in depth look at the overall numbers we look at a lot with context of how that compares to your opponents to date. Only uses stats from Power 4 vs Power 4 games.
Offense - Overall, Rush, Pass
Offense - Hardest to Easiest Opposing Defenses Faced
Defense - Overall, Pass, Rush
Defense- Hardest to Easiest Opposing Offenses Faced
Net YPPa
Net Strength of Schedule

Great stuff. It looks like Texas' YPP differential hit a snag the last two weeks. They were up around 3 I believe

I think it's a good to compare on a game by game basis as some really good games.. or some really bad games.. can skew the numbers..
Alabama clearly has a good offense..
Tennessee clearly has a better defense..
Georgia's defense shite the bed against Alabama..
Alabama's defense shite the bed against Vanderbilt..

Yep, and it also depends on the schedules of your opponents. NC State has been pretty good on offense since the Tennessee game but they've played a schedule of rotting carcasses.

Our defense appears to be really good.. below 100% in all categories for each game.. our offense.. not so much.. In a weird twist of things with a Sark offense, we really just need Quinn or Arch to be a game manager and stop turning the ball over.. but our offense starting showing some weaknesses in the Oklahoma game.. Georgia destroyed us based on these numbers.. and we bounced back a little bit against Vanderbilt. Arch played the Miss State game, so it isn't apples to apples on that one..
As for Georgia, 7 sacks for 59 yards makes a huge difference in the rushing stats and YPP stats. The percentage on rushing goes from 31% to 127% if you take those out. I know you can't do that, just pointing out how big of an impact those plays have on stats like this.
FYI - I input the opposing offense and defense averages to calculate the percentages, but hid them to make the image fit better.

I don't understand why Texas doesn't have a 1.69 YPP difference though.. It looks like that number is adjusted?
Offense = 5.82
Defense = 4.13
Net = 1.69
Offense = 5.82
Defense = 4.13
Net = 1.69

They're net diff
Offense (Team - Opp) : -0.16
Defense (Team - Opp): -1.15
Overall (Off - Def): 0.99

Are you calculating these?
Only problem I really see is when a team has to play a really dominant team.. or a really weak team.
I showed the Texas defensive stats above.. and they are pretty damn good, but they are actually even better than I showed, because each of those teams has played Texas, which lowered their averages.
Likewise, when an offense has faced Mississippi State, it skews the averages to make the offense appear better than it might be.. and both of those things probably play a big role in calculating the SOS components.
That being said, I'm not sure how to combat that without analyzing each team separately.. ie removing all Texas games from opponents averages in order to calculate the results for Texas.. then do the same thing for each team, and that just seems like way too much work, especially without knowing if there is any impact.
Either way, good work boss.

Are these overall or in conference only?

I downloaded all the game stats from college football data then tweaked them to get a table of all the stats I want with Offensive team, defensive team. Then you can run a pivot table and get it all set up to where you can run the averages for a team, then the averages for all their opponents games (but without their opponents game vs Team A).

P4 vs P4 (and Notre Dame) only

All "Power 4" games it says. Literally that wouldn't include Notre Dame, but presumably it actually does.
You can tell how much A&M's offense is run skewed. They do very well in the rushing offense chart, not as well, but still positive overall in the passing chart, but put it together and its negative in total offense, because we're running the ball more when we play, while their average yards per play vs other teams includes more pass which generally have a higher expected yards per play.

Yep, which is why things like pt per yard (or yard per pt), success rate, drive success rates and EPA are so important in addition to this sort of stat.

Groan at those UT defensive stats.
Beck better get his stuff together by week 12.
