That post says teams that defer win at a 55% rate and teams that choose to receive at a 52%
How did you get 9.8 percent by deferring from that?

Someone please ask him about winning the toss and taking the ball... BilJ..?
He has answered that before and I am not saying I agree with it…
Supposedly analytics says that the team that scores first wins like 80% of the time. I could be wrong but I believe the NFL follows this more than college.
If it is me calling it I am deferring!

True but it’s still a fact. Everything I’ve found proves deferring is the smarter and better choice except for the one specific reason listed above.
I agree that I would almost always defer (probably closer to absolutely always), but I don't see it being as big a deal as some seem to think.
I also remember when the consensus was to always receive, and people almost always did. That was back in the day when defense and the running game ruled back in the '70s and '80s.
With modern offensive football, deferring seems like the best solution to me.e

use this link instead-

54.9% winning
45.1% chance of losing
then just subtract losing from winning. high level stuff, i know.

I remember listening to that, what a great reply! O was entertaining like Miles but uniquely different! They were like a North South version of each other ??

Different strokes I guess, Les's frontier gibberish was never what I considered listenable.
I did always enjoy Dinardo and Saban's shows and often went to both. I quit qoing with Les because I did not enjoy his.
Orgeron talking about gumbo wasn't really my bag either....I mean I like gumbo but I'm listening for football.

That’s not how it works though
Functionally when you win the toss you have a choice-defer vs receive.
That doesn’t mean that if you don’t defer you go to the other side of the percentage.
You go to the other categories results.
Which he listed.
When a team chooses to receive they have a 52% chance of winning.

actually a really big deal…
Deferring and receiving the second half yields on average a 1 pt advantage on the scoreboard and also a 12% chance of a stolen possession - meaning scoring at end of half and scoring again at the start of the second half.
Teams that defer win 55% of the time and teams that receive win 52% of the time.
The team deferring also gets to see how the flow of the game is going while knowing they get a possession to start the second half. This allows them to play the first half differently.
TLDR: DEFER TO SECOND HALF BK
Or....
Let's just try this on for size..... the team can stop being pussies and get on the field and push people around, regardless which unit goes on the field first.
I agree that you defer, typically..... however, I dont think it's as big a deal as it is made out to be.

No. LSU loses against Clemson and 2 SEC teams and gets fricked out of the playoff for a team like Illinois who gets obliterated.
Thank God for baseball.

People make too much of this IMO. Most of the time I would defer and kickoff but there are times to take the ball.
If you know your defense is dog shite you may elect to take it more often
