So what is the conclusion of this? What are you trying to tell us based on the data? I'm just trying figure out the narrative behind it. I like stats and I found it interesting. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this.

I don't have a distinct conclusion, was just looking at the ratings. Was going for a correlation between ratings and titles or at least inclusion in the playoffs....then that 2010 Auburn team messes that up with their defensive rating being below 60 and having a offense - defense differential of 35.2, by far the largest differential. I think honestly I just started starting typing as I was looking at the stats and it ran into being just a tangent thought.
