SEC net ypp, Week 11

By now, you know the drill, right?

Here’s the conference order by net yards per play, with the offensive ypp and defensive ypp, respectively, in parenthesis.

As I’ve been doing, I also show the week-to-week change in the net figure (stats via cfbstats.com.)

1. Alabama:  3.08 (8.09; 5.01) [net change:  +.15]
2. Florida:  1.76 (7.35; 5.59) [net change:  +.11]
3. TAMU:  1.02 (6.39; 5.37) [net change:  +.01]
4. Georgia:  0.83 (5.81; 4.98) [net change: DNP]
5. Arkansas:  0.43 (6.03; 5.60) [net change:  -.15]
6. Missouri:  0.18 (5.88; 5.70) [net change: +.07]
7. Ole Miss:  -0.04 (7.02; 7.06) [net change:  DNP]
8. Auburn:  -0.20 (5.68; 5.88) [net change:  -.12]
9. Kentucky:  -0.44 (5.10; 5.54) [net change:  +.23]
10. Mississippi State: -0.70 (4.90; 5.60) [net change:  DNP]
11. Tennessee:  -1.07 (4.90; 5.97) [net change:  -.20]
12. South Carolina:  -1.21 (5.35; 6.56) [net change:  -.01]
13. LSU:  -1.60 (5.49; 7.09) [net change:  -.11]
14. Vanderbilt:  -2.44 (4.78; 7.22) [net change:  DNP]

Here’s the current order for turnover margin.

• +8:  Arkansas
• +7:  Kentucky
• +6:  Alabama
• +4:  TAMU
• +3:  Auburn
• +2:  Florida
• +1:  LSU
• -2:  Georgia, Ole Miss
• -3:  Missouri, Tennessee
• -4:  South Carolina
• -8:  Mississippi State
• -9:  Vanderbilt

And, observations:

• This is the first week of the season that the team order did not change, for what that’s worth.
• There is a legitimate chance that LSU finishes the season with the worst defensive ypp in the conference.
• Is it fair to say, based on net ypp and turnover margin, that Arkansas’ record should be better than 3-6?  I think so.
• “Alabama is ridiculous” is an evergreen comment at this point.
