This may get ugly, but I took the time last night and this morning to compile the stats for SEC games head-to-head, leaving out non-conference opponents to get a feel for a Team's overall ranking within the SEC.
For now, I'll just post UT's ranking in each category I've compiled so far.
Rushing Avg. - 12
Passing Avg. - 2
Total Offense Avg. - 9
Scoring Offense - 2
Avg. Defense Faced - 4.4
Rush Defense - 9
Pass Defense - 8
Total Defense Avg. - 9
Scoring Defense - 9
Avg. Offense Faced - 3.8
Net Punting - 3
Punt Returns - 1
KO Returns - 10
Turnover Margin - T2
Sacks - 9
Tackles For Loss - 4
Sacks Allowed - T3
Pass. Efficiency - 7
Pass. Efficiency Def. - 8
The Offense and Defense averages look bad, but noone in the SEC to this date has faced Avg. tougher offenses and defenses than UT. Even with the low rankings for Avg. Yards, UT is still 2nd in Scoring Offense. We could be worse off than having lost 2 very close games just by comparing stats, so I think that pays testament to the drive of this team.
I have a spreadsheet with all the stats on it, crosslinked to team pages, etc. It's not fully automatic updating once new stats are put in, but if anyone wants a copy of it, shoot me a PM. I'm an Excel rookie so I'm sure someone with more knowledge would be able to flesh it out even more now that the groundwork is laid.
After comparing our Offense and Defense Stats to the Average level of Defense/Offense Faced, our guys come out top of the heap in both at this point in time. FWIW, they've done a great job considering everything (running game notwithstanding!).
