    Statistically speaking: Oregon football’s offense leads Pac-12, except in red zone

     

    Oregon’s offense continues to rank in the top 10 in every meaningful statistic, except inside the red zone.

     
    The No. 9 Ducks (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12) lead the country in total offense and are second in scoring and top the Pac-12 in rushing, pass efficiency, third down and sacks allowed. Yet when they get inside the 20-yard line the Ducks drop to 51st (86.5%).
     
    UO’s touchdown percentage in the red zone (72.97%) ranks 20th, but against five Power Five teams it’s 34th (65.38%).
     
    Not surprisingly, the top offenses in the country over the past several years typically also rank highly in red zone scoring. In 2022, Tennessee led the country in total offense and was third in red zone scoring. Ohio State was 12th in red zone scoring but 45th in touchdown percentage in 2021. LSU was 2nd in red zone scoring in 2019 and Oklahoma was 9th in 2018.
     
    Defensively, Oregon’s pass defense has gone from 5th nationally after five games to 56th following back-to-back games against the top two passing offenses in the country.
     
    Here is where Oregon ranked in the Pac-12 and nationally after Week 8:

    The Ducks lead the country in total offense and are second in scoring, yet inside the 20-yard line they drop to 51st.

     

     

     

    Quite amusing after Washington almost laid an egg in their game against a one win team this season.  Washington fans should be praising the refs for their excellent shoddy play-calling in this game against ASU.  They truly played the12th man out there for the Huskies.

    Report: Big Ten coaches knew of sign-stealing scheme, Michigan assistant in focus

     

    While public scrutiny has only been on Michigan football for the better part of a day after news broke on Thursday that the Wolverines may have violated NCAA rules in efforts to learn opponents’ signals, opponents have known far longer.

    apple-touch-icon-180x180.png Report: Big Ten coaches knew of sign-stealing scheme, Michigan assistant in focus

    WWW.ON3.COM
    The Wolverines ability to know what the other team might be running has been a behind-the-scenes topic among league coaches for months.

     

     

    Also... do football coaches tell the truth?

     

    Dave Bartoo runs Matrix Analytics, a consulting firm that works with a number of college conferences and schools. As a hobby, he likes to crunch numbers on the College Football Playoff front because, as he put it, “we’re a bunch of data nerds.”

     

    Bartoo isn’t on the playoff selection committee. He hasn’t spoken with any of the 13 members of the panel. But what Bartoo does do is appear to read their minds with deft accuracy. 

    “In the last decade, if you give me 25 teams and remove the names of the schools and just label them ‘A’ and ‘B’ and ‘C’ and ‘D… E… fricken… G…’ and if that’s all you gave us we would nail the playoff rankings every year — dead on.”

     

    There are seven variables involved in the ranking, Bartoo said. They are: championship wins, quality wins (above-.500 team), Top-25 wins, margin of victory, margin of loss, bad loss (sub-.500 team), and strength of schedule. 

     

    “That’s the whole formula,” Bartoo said. “The secret is in knowing how to weigh it. For example, USC’s 48-20 loss to Notre Dame last weekend came by too many points. That margin of defeat eliminates the Trojans the same way Oregon’s 49-3 loss to Georgia in 2022 knocked the Ducks out before the season even really began.”

     

    I asked Bartoo to examine the current college football season and tell me how the selection committee would rank the teams. Not in two weeks when the initial CFP ranking comes out — but here and now.
