Arkansas has lost three straight games. That last happened in 2008, Petrino's first season, when the Razorbacks lost to Alabama, Texas, and Florida. In 2012, Arkansas has lost to Alabama again, but now they've also lost to Louisiana-Monroe and Rutgers. 2008 is also significant because it is also the last season Arkansas was not bowl eligible. Arkansas gets Texas A&M this weekend and a chance to match its 2004 stretch of four straight losses.
"Team: Summary" offers a quick overview of the expected outcomes - number of wins and losses, going undefeated or being bowl eligible, division and conference titles - for all 124 teams. The model is now giving Arkansas an 8% chance of being bowl eligible this season and projecting them to 3.8 wins this season.
| BPR | A system for ranking teams based only one wins and losses and strength of schedule. See BPR for an explanation. |
| EPA (Expected Points Added) | Expected points are the points a team can "expect" to score based on the distance to the end zone and down and distance needed for a first down, with an adjustment for the amount of time remaining in some situations. Expected points for every situation is estimated using seven years of historical data. The expected points considers both the average points the offense scores in each scenario and the average number of points the other team scores on their ensuing possession. The Expected Points Added is the change in expected points before and after a play. |
| EP3 (Effective Points Per Possession) | Effective Points Per Possession is based on the same logic as the EPA, except it focuses on the expected points added at the beginning and end of an offensive drive. In other words, the EP3 for a single drive is equal to the sum of the expected points added for every offensive play in a drive (EP3 does not include punts and field goal attempts). We can also think of the EP3 as points scored+expected points from a field goal+the value of field position change on the opponent's next possession. |
| Adjusted for Competition | We attempt to adjust some statistics to compensate for differences in strength of schedule. While the exact approach varies some from stat to stat the basic concept is the same. We use an algorithm to estimate scores for all teams on both sides of the ball (e.g., offense and defense) that best predict real results. For example, we give every team an offensive and defensive yards per carry score. Subtracting the offensive score from the defensive score for two opposing teams will estimate the yards per carry if the two teams were to play. Generally, the defensive scores average to zero while offensive scores average to the national average, e.g., yards per carry, so we call the offensive score "adjusted for competition" and roughly reflects what the team would do against average competition |
| Impact | see Adjusted for Competition. Impact scores are generally used to evaluate defenses. The value roughly reflects how much better or worse a team can expect to do against this opponent than against the average opponent. |
