This includes games against the number 2, 3, 10, 36, 53, 60, 65, & 108 teams in DRtg. We rank 12th, against offenses including # 3, 11, 12, 21, 23, & 32 in ORtg.
Obviously, it will be tough to maintain these metrics in conference play, but with 80% of the games so far vs top 30% defenses and 60% of games vs top 10% offenses, we are battle-tested and may not drop too far.
BP has brought the program to unimaginable heights, and we can only hope he continues his push to make history with this ridiculously talented squad.
