Note:
All of the above rankings are taken directly from the NCAA except for strength of schedule, which is taken from Team Rankings.com.
The Redzone TD% and Redzone TD% Defense are calculated by me and not ranked by the NCAA. Determining who has the advantage in these categories is strictly my arbitrary judgment.
Quick thoughts:
Despite their competition level, Memphis is a good team! They did have an extra (13th) game they played against Cincinnati, so some of the raw number stats won’t be as beneficial as they might have been for the Nittany Lions.
