I'm not sure I'd count missed FGs; or at least I'd give them a lot less weight, because it's an individual stat more than a team stat.

I fully admit that we are not very good right now. However the foundation is being laid to rebuild the program. I believe that we have the right administration and coaching staff to return UT to the top of the SEC.

[...] John Pennington has a ratings system based on plays per miscue in SEC games. You can argue about its subjectivity and relevance to wins and losses, I suppose, but two Georgia-related stats jump out at me from this post: [...]

One reason Rob you are so high is the fact that you all run a lot of plays, it helps cover up the mistakes.

I'm an Arkansas fan and I really expected to find us near the bottom of the list. I'm actually very surprised to discover that we're #2. I guess we're more solid then I thought.

Howdy,

Well we do shoot ourselves in the foot a lot. We've had 91 miscues and 653 offensive plays for a rating of 7.18. Hopefully we'll be improving soon.

Gig'Em!

DV80…

We're simply looking for bad plays. All five of the areas we considered "miscues" could be given values, but we focused only on how often a team costs itself… not how much it costs itself.

Thanks for reading the site,

John,

The Fife Rating concept is very interesting. I would think you might want to rate turnovers more heavily than other miscues as they tend to do more damage per occurance than the others, especially when they happen in one's own end of the field.

I'm looking to see how my Aggies compare. I might be overly critical, but it just seems like we shoot ourselves in the foot a lot.

Gig'Em!
