[Oney]

The Noles outscored their opponents by 39.5 points per game last season, the best differential for any FBS team since Houston bested opponents by 39.9 in 1989

The Crimson Tide continues to dominate in recruiting, Alabama signed five of the ESPN Recruiting Nation's 15 five-star recruits in the 2014 class, most by any FBS school

Oklahoma has gone 14 seasons without losing consecutive regular-season games

Oregon joins Alabama, Nebraska and LSU as the only teams to win at least nine games in each of the past five seasons

Auburn, which finished 12-2 in 2013, has won 10-plus games in back-to-back seasons just once in school history (1988-1989)

OSU gained at least five yards on 55 percent of its carries last season, the highest percentage in the nation.

Last season, Michigan State’s defense allowed opponents to complete a mere 23.4 percent of their passes of 15-plus yards, best in the nation

Quarterback Brett Hundley completed 67.2 percent of his passes in 2013, the highest percentage of any returning quarterback in the Big 5 conferences

South Carolina lost Jadeveon Clowney to the NFL, but the Gamecocks had a better defensive rating in the three years prior to Clowney than they had in three years with him.

Quarterback Kevin Hogan has posted an .842 win percentage as Stanford’s starting quarterback, including a 10-1 mark against AP top-25 opponents

In 2013, the Baylor Bears' offense scored 60 touchdowns in drives lasting less than two minutes -- nine more than any team has over the last 10 seasons.

Georgia was one of six teams last season to pass for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 2,000. Those six teams averaged 10.5 wins. UGA won eight

LSU has had 18 players drafted by the NFL in the last two seasons, including a nation-high nine in 2014.

In 2013, USC’s quarterbacks threw six interceptions in the first five games but finished the year strong, only throwing three picks in the last nine games.

Six of the last nine times Notre Dame has been ranked in the preseason, it has finished the season unranked.

In each of the last two years, Clemson has begun and finished the season ranked. Prior to 2012, the Tigers hadn’t been ranked to start the year since 2000.

But the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE has the longest active streak in college football of scoring 20+ points per game, which is 31 consecutive games, dating back to 2011 Mississippi State.

this was from Football Study Hall's preview of Auburn. One of the more interesting stats I have seen:

Auburn's five-year F/+ average ranks 24th in FBS, but in the last five seasons, the Tigers have only once been within even 15 spots of 24th. They ranked 39th in 2009, third in 2010, 65th in 2011, 105th in 2012, and fourth in 2013. That's an average shift of 60 spots, one direction or the other, each year.

How does Oregon join those teams since Oregon has had at least 9 wins since 2007. and of those other teams, Alabama, Nebraska and LSU, none of them have had at least 9 wins in each season since 2007.

Someone please give him a cookie

 

[Olyduck]

and that should be the crazy stat for Oregon. Oregon is the only school to have at least 9 wins every year since the 2007 season.

What is it with Oregon fans needing validation lately? Let me start a thread that makes it look like it's about a bunch of teams but it's really just an attempt to say look at us aren't we good.lol

 

[outofyourmind]

Oklahoma during the BCS era:


12 / 10+ Win Seasons
10 / 11+ Win Seasons
6 / 12+ Win Seasons

1. An Oregon fan didnt start this.
2. if you are going to state stats or facts make sure they are accurate. It wasnt about validation it was about correcting the statement to be accurate.

No one respects people with 2 college teams, much less 3. Your bragging rights are invalid.

Not really bragging, but okay...

And that doesn't devalidate my bragging rights even if that's what I was doing, I am a die hard Alabama fan. I just pull for UNC to the side.

I just wanted to point out that the team best known for its defense has scored 20+ for a longer period of time than all of these high flying hurry up no huddle teams

He said in the past 5 seasons, not since 2007.

So how does Oregon JOIN Alabama, Nebraska and LSU if Oregon was already enroute to a longer streak?

You are correct. It's worded fucked up. It should say....

"LSU joins Oregon, Alabama, and Nebraska as the only teams to win at least nine games in each of the past five seasons."

OR...

"Oregon, Alabama, and Nebraska are the only teams to win at least nine games in each of the past six seasons."

OR....

"Oregon is the only team to win at least 9 games in the past seven seasons."

 

[MarkOU]

Oklahoma has gone 14 seasons without losing consecutive regular-season games

Most impressive stat of the bunch. Bob Stoops rulez!

Right or if 2013 would have made it the 5th in a row for Oregon then it wouldnt have sounded as weird.

Dude, the statement is accurate. It says past 5 seasons.

Yeah, I thought that was a pretty impressive stat for bettors.

Wisconsin has not lost by more than 10 points in their last 61 games. Fifth year seniors were still in high school when it happened.
