Alabama By The Numbers. Week 8
Those of you (if any) who follow these posts probably remember that I'm following selected Statistical categories reported by the NCAA. For each stat category I try to give our upcoming opponents, as well as the SEC and NCAA leaders.
As always, my source is the official NCAA stat pages as posted on the web (link below). If anyone finds any typo's - my apologies.
I start with a table comparing Alabama's SEC and National rankings with those of our next opponent, then I give a breakdown for each stat category I follow, showing the National and SEC Leaders, along with our upcoming opponents. In the summary table I show you how our average rankings compare to last year, as well as to our last Two NC teams - 2012 and 2015.
So we've past the mid-way point. It goes by SO FAST!!! And the team has steadily improved - from an average National rank of 48.5, to 26.1 - a Substantial leap! Our current numbers are Slightly better than they were at this point last year, Significantly better than this point in 2015, and approaching the lofty heights of 2012!
So here goes. Enjoy!
As I still can't figure out how to post spreadsheet data directly to the board, I am again offering links (and technical help would be appreciated!)
