Stats are fun.. here are two that have been puzzling:
After beating Gardner-Webb in our third game of 2009, we had at that point the # 1 defense in the country. We went 3-6 after that.
We had similarly high defensive rankings early last season. We saw how that turned out.
I’m not sure why you think that those are puzzling. As I’ve said many times, good production against weak competition is meaningless in its predictive value. On the other hand, bad stats against weak competition is pretty much always an indication that things are going to get ugly.
