I will update the Football Outsiders Offense and Deficiency Rankings when they come out. They are not updated yet. ESPN accounts for overall strength of schedule with the Offense and Defense efficiency ratings, but........they do not adjust for the strength of each individual unit. For example, BC's defense is much better than it's offense. Football outsiders adjust for this, ESPN only looks at the overall BC strength of schedule; therefore, ESPN's offense and defense efficiency rankings are pretty worthless. Football Outsiders accounts for things like big plays (more than 20 yards) wasted drives due to garbage time, wasted drives during quality time where a D failed or and O failed, yards per play, etc. I will update these when they come out.

I don't get how the D can be so highly ranked when a grandmother can run right through the D line dragging a truck?
