Big 12: Total Offense Minus Total Defense

[FloridaPoke]

Total O Minus Total D in Yards.

1. aTm: 246 (Offense faced D's w average rank of 90th, Defense faced Offenses with average rank of 93rd.)
2. OSU: 222 (Offense faced D's w average rank of 113th, Defense faced Offenses with average rank of 36th (two top 15 Offenses).

3. NEB: 206
4. TEX: 129
5. MIZ: 111
6. BAY: 75
7. KAN: 45
8. KSU: 29
9. COL: 21
10. OU: 8
11.Tech: (15)
12. ISU: (58)

So, we have almost a 100 yard per game edge on aTm on O and the quality of Defenses we have faced are not significantly different. aTm has a 118 yard per game edge on Defense, yet the quality of Offenses we have faced is materially better.

Yeah, plus skew that with the other facts, that are not reflected in those stats, since those averages includes games that each of our teams have actually played...

namely... our 1st team offense did not play the entire game against WSU or against TU, and our defense did not play a significant amount in those two games either. Meaning, those numbers could look way, way worse (better for us) on a comparitive basis.
