Also, if you look at the opponents for the defensive part of the comparison, the SoS of our opponents is much higher than Clemson’s (except for OSU). Yeah, Wake Forest has a good offense and they shut them down. WF also has a SoS in the high 60s, which is trash.

I appreciate what you're saying. the stat most concerning to me is CU's streak. I still think we have a once in a lifetime QB and will beat the living crap out of CU. I also think they know this b/c they know they haven't played anyone yet. Geaux tigers

This data set is useless without standard deviation calculations for each datum subset.

You did amazing research. However, your communication skills are lacking. No one understands your post. We would all love it if you restated it more clearly. Thanks! .
