Title: SEC Scoring Efficiency Rankings – 10/18/11 Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 18, 2011, 08:57:41 AM http://www.mrsec.com/2011/10/sec-scoring-efficiency-rankings-101811/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mrseccom+%28MrSEC.com%29
Quote Scoring Efficiency is a measure of a team’s ability to convert yards into points. It’s a total rating, too. The effectiveness of a squad’s special teams and defensive units factor in by providing short fields for an offense. Ditto the ability to create turnovers. And then, of course, there’s the actual ability of a team’s offense to put up points quickly. The best teams tend to put up the most points while covering the least amount of yards. The worst teams in Scoring Efficiency put up yard after yard after yard without scoring points. Now that 11 of the 12 SEC schools have played at least three conference games — Arkansas has just played two — we felt it was a good time to start digging into the Scoring Efficiency numbers for 2011. Below are the current numbers for each team in the league taking into account only SEC results: School (Conf. Record) Total Offensive Yards Total Points Scored Yards/Point 1 Alabama (4-0) 1797 162 11.09 2 LSU (4-0) 1545 133 11.61 3 Arkansas (1-1) 664 52 12.76 4 S. Carolina (4-1) 1979 147 13.46 |
