Hey college football heads! Dlew12 here (the "D" stands for "Data").
Statistically, what's your favorite way to measure whether a team has a good offense or defense? For starters, I think we can all agree that pace has to be a factor.
I'm certainly no expert, but when I look at this stuff, I think yards per play and TO% are the crème de la crème of offensive/defensive metrics.
In talking to others (Mixed Nutz), I've learned that some people actually think Points Per Possession is the best indicator. My problem with that is that it ignores starting field position, which is mostly a function of a team's offense and special teams.
What say you?? Let's talk DATA!
