Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1517432, member: 2585"] I think we've largely driven this into the ground - but some final thoughts: 1. While removing OT scores from the ppg stats make sense when ranking teams - the thing that was nagging me was that it's still worth something as far as evaluating the offense. An OT possession is a red zone trip. Scoring TD's with the game on the line 3 times does tell us something about our offense. (I wonder where our OT production would rank) 2. There are roughly 30 OT games a year in CFB. That means about half the teams (60) benefit from OT points (or at least have a chance to). That could reshuffle some teams a bit in the ranking if we removed OT scores from everyone. If we dropped a bunch of spots, you have to imagine other teams would too. Don't know or care to find out if it makes a real difference this season. But there is some noise in the data. [/QUOTE]
