The original 12 SEC teams going back 5 seasons. The correlation is obvious. Statistically, having a +~80 first down differential leads to a 60% winning rate which is simply average in the SEC.
LSU has around +80 differential and 77% win percentage over that time, so obviously that differential is enough to sustain a successful program.
Also there's only 2 teams around +80, hardly enough to make any statistical analysis.
So again you answered you own original question by showing LSU has sustained success with that +~80 differential.

In other words...you can't read. The top schools in the SEC have at least TWICE many first downs as us. Then there is a huge drop off before tier two, the Ole Miss tier, that's where we are. So, per statistical significance, which team doesn't belong in tier two. I'll let you guess.
