Here’s an update to the running Net YPP after week 9’s action. That magic number will reveal itself soon enough, but for now, there’s still plenty of football to be played.
Week 9 turnover margin:
Notes:
- Slowly but surely, Auburn is going to work their way out of that turnover margin ditch they’re in. Imagine if they hadn’t turned the ball over more than a Bingo Parlor on a Friday night, they’d have a winning program.
- The four teams that are within the magical 2.0 number – Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Alabama – are, at least on paper, in a position to make the CFP based on the talking heads around the media circuits. When you look at where Georgia’s at, it’s amazing we remain the top ranked team in the SEC. Hey, we aren’t out for style points, so if it works, it works.
- As Oklahoma’s turnover margin goes, so does their chances for winning football. Amazingly, the ineptitude on offense has gassed their defense, whose DFEI gets worse by the week.
- Texas A&M is the most overachieving team in the country right now if you look at stats like these. Oklahoma was living high off the mediocre YPP and high turnover margin just a few weeks ago…now you see where they are.
- Look at Florida. No wonder the jorts-wearers are optimistic this week. Stuff like this is where hope is instilled. The football field is where it gets crushed. I’m certain Kirby’s on the mother, and hates losing to Florida probably more than he enjoys winning…let’s stay focused and put Florida where they rightly belong.
I admittedly haven’t watched a&m. If they are net zero in turnovers do that have a couple of losses?
A&M picked up a really good coach and the team looks formidable. The game with Texas should be a bone-crusher.
if we “catch the damn ball”, we should pump up our OYP numbers…just keep winning, winning ugly or pretty just keep winning.

So the 2.0 Net standard is based on an offense achieving 6 and D holding to 4. Looking at schedules past and upcoming, Texas, UM and UT are likely to see their defenses give up more and no improvement on offense. Dawgs D will improve, but not enough. Bama looks best positioned to be at the top of this stat which will not even win them steak knives. Shorter analysis…I don’t know what to make of this.
Remember that was for a 4-team playoff. Who knows what the threshold for 12 is.
Considering Georgia has had to play a tougher schedule than the other top SEC teams, I wonder how much the opponents have impacted these numbers? Ole Miss, Texas, and the Vols haven’t played nearly the schedule that Georgia has.
I can’t believe the Dawgs are still under 1 Net YPP. Not sure what the threshold for a 12 team playoff will be, but I’m guessing 1.2 YPP.
