Much has been said about how the game has evolved, in particular regarding offense. We all know that scoring matters more and more. So this may not impress anyone. But look at how similar the CFP rankings and Scoring Offense rankings are, entering into this weekend's games:
CFP rankings Scoring Offense
1. Georgia 11
2. Michigan 7
3. TCU 6
4. So Cal 3
5. Ohio St 2
6. Alabama 4
7. Tennessee 1
So the same teams in the CFP top 7 also make up the Scoring Offense top 7, except Georgia.
By contrast there are only two teams in the CFP top 7 with a top 10 Scoring Defense: Georgia #2, Bama tied at #9.
I used to pour over team statistics when I was young in the old era of the game, and it still shocks me to see how necessary scoring is to being ranked highly.
