🏈 The close loss factor

[252BAMA]

Phil Steele's Daily Blog - Monday June 8th

"Iowa is a team that could come out of nowhere like last year’s Tide team. Just like Bama they have FOUR tough road games having to face Big Ten favorites Penn St and Ohio St on the road as well as Mich St and Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes have my #6 rated O-line and while the D-line just missed out on the ratings, they do have my #8 rated defense overall. Ole Miss will be a preseason Top 10 team so Iowa has the best shot to be the team with no losses by more than 7 the previous year, that won’t be ranked in the top 20 and has a seemingly too tough schedule that could surprise."

If you scroll down to his previous blogs and click on "Saturday May 30th | 2009 % of Lettermen Returning", you'll see a very interesting stat.




Side note: I noticed that Auburn was just about in the middle of the pack in his "% of Yards Returning for offenses" post. Hmmm... 79.5%? I wonder if he got that number confused with their total offense?

Wouldn't matter if it was 100%. A 100% of nothing is nothing.

This deserves a look and bump back to the top.

"This year the most experienced team in terms of lettermen returning that finished in the Top 10 last year is Alabama with 83.3%. Bama has 55 of 66 lettermen back this year."
