B1G coaches share their picks for CFB’s most overrated stat
Published:
There’s a stat for everything in football. From overall rankings to individual position rankings and stats, it’s a lot of numbers.
Apparently, some of those stats and numbers are overrated, at least according to B1G head coaches. Asked what they think is the most overrated stat, and Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano, Hoosier head coach Tom Allen, Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm, and Maryland’s head coach Mike Locksley all agreed that the “time of possession” stat is just useless.

Asked the same question, OSU head coach Ryan Day disagreed with the consensus, saying “They’re all important.”
Perhaps Day is right, as OSU is on a roll this season, starting off the season 5-0 with a No. 3 ranking. Thanks in large part to the coaching of Ryan Day, the Buckeyes are on the hunt for a championship.
