Final S&P+ rankings are out for the 2018 season. Virginia Tech places:
- 66th Overall
- 44th in Offense
- 81st in Defense
- 57th in Special Teams
Compared to previous 5 years:
| Season | Overall Ranking | Offense | Defense | Special Teams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 66th | 44th | 81st | 57th |
| 2017 | 30th | 96th | 9th | 31st |
| 2016 | 17th | 51st | 17th | 48th |
| 2015 | 59th | 72nd | 39th | 24th |
| 2014 | 49th | 94th | 10th | 119th |
I also thought it would be interesting to see our Offensive S&P+ rating (presented in the form of an adjusted scoring average) rather than just our ranking relative to other teams:
| Season | Offensive Ranking | Offensive Rating (adjusted scoring average) |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 44th | 31.8 |
| 2017 | 96th | 25.6 |
| 2016 | 51st | 31.9 |
| 2015 | 72nd | 27.7 |
| 2014 | 94th | 24.3 |
As a reminder, S&P+ rankings are adjusted for strength of opponent and do include plays that occur during garbage time. Offensive/defensive rankings are isolated and adjusted to account for how bad the other side of the ball is. Also note that there have been some small tweaks to the algorithms over the years (I believe the big change this year was that garbage time is defined as 21 point deficit, not 14 points)
