Numbers can be a good way of comparing football teams, but only if you know what numbers tell you and more importantly, what they don't. Much of what a number can tell you depends on context. At Buckeye Planet, we use differential statistics to compare teams because they have context built into...

Heisman Race Update At THIS LINK you will find a previous comparison that shows quite vividly C.J. Stroud's superiority to other top FBS quarterbacks to this point in the season. Below is a continuation of that comparison with an update to the season stats. HERE you will find a brief glossary...

Contextual Comparisons Like any sports message board, Buckeye Planet is full of people who are convinced that they're right and that anyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong but also stupid, insane, evil, downright un-American, or combination thereof. What sets us apart is that we also...

Who Have They Played?! The content here at Buckeye Planet is created (with apologies to Mr. Lincoln) by fans and for fans. The media will throw context-free numbers at you and call it analysis. Their marketers tell them to assume that their viewers have a 7th to 8th grade level of education...

The linebackers don’t seem to be blitzing much this year, but when they do, they’re making a difference. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the percentage of blitzes and the percentage of the time that blitzes result in sacks/hurries etc. I would be willing to bet that the numbers...

After 7 long years in Tallahassee, Florida, the plant where I worked closed. The good news is - I ended up back in Ohio as a result. The company I just left closed. I can't say more: I signed a non-disparagement agreement so as to get paid a pile of severance cash. The new company is...
