BLITZIndex College Football Defense Rankings, Week 11: I have run out of clever Frog similes

TCU at the top of the heap again, even after letting a tough San Diego State team hang around and score 35 on them – they padded their points per game stats all year to compensate. Here is my exclusive ranking, an equal weighted index of yds/play, yds/pt and pts/gm allowed to determine the best […]

BLITZIndex Defense Rankings: Horned Frogs still the baddest in the land

TCU still rocking the top of the national college football defense rankings, leading the nation in Yards per Point allowed (25.1, or you gotta go 150 yards to score a TD equivalent) and also Points per game allowed (8.67, with only 16 in last five).

BLITZIndex Week 7: TCU spitting blood on opponent offenses

The Horned Frogs defense always prospers under Coach Gary Patterson, but in 2010 they have defended their turf at the highest level – TCU has allowed 10 or less in five of seven wins and are #1 in nation with 9.3 pts/gm allowed. As such, given #3 ranking in yds/play and #2 in yds/pt the […]

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE 2010 PREVIEW

The annual pre-season Mountain West Conference checklist always seems the same: Have a good number of players become fantasy-friendly (i.e….lots of stats):  Check. Dominate the BCS conference mostly to the west of us (Pac-10):  Check. Crash the BCS:  Check. The MWC has been active in the 2010 off-season, becoming one of the players in the […]
