This week’s Five Factors box scores are up! Check out all the results here. Week 6’s superior performances in each category are below.

Top 5 success rate margins (vs. FBS)

Ohio (+40% vs. Ball State) Utah State (+34% vs. New Mexico) Oklahoma (+33% vs. Kansas State) Utah (+32% vs. UCLA) Notre Dame (+27% vs. Navy)

A week after an unimpressive win over Wyoming, USU surged back to 21st in S&P+ with some cruel dominance of New Mexico.

Top 5 yards per play margins (vs. FBS)

Oklahoma (+5.7 vs. Kansas State) WVU (+4.5 vs. Baylor) North Texas (+4.4 vs. Rice) Clemson (+3.5 vs. FSU) Utah State (+3.4 vs. New Mexico)

Goodness, OU was unmerciful. The Sooners very much solidified their No. 3 S&P+ ranking.

Top 5 field position margins (vs. FBS)

Clemson (+20.3 yards per possession vs. FSU) Toledo (+18.4 vs. WMU) Ohio (+18.4 vs. Ball State) Fresno State (+16.5 vs. Hawaii) Utah (+16.2 vs. UCLA)

That’s some hefty field-tilting there, Clemson.

Top 5 points per scoring opportunity margins (vs. FBS)

Mississippi State (+5.1 vs. Texas A&M) Troy (+3.5 vs. South Alabama) Texas State (+3.4 vs. NMSU) Utah State (+3.4 vs. New Mexico) UAB (+3.4 vs. UTEP)

Texas A&M created seven scoring opportunities to Mississippi State’s four but managed to lose by 15. That’s hard to do.

Top 5 turnovers luck margins (vs. FBS)

Georgia Southern (+4.0 vs. Appalachian State) MTSU (+3.0 vs. ODU) Cal (+2.5 vs. Washington) Georgia (+2.2 vs. Florida) Utah State (+2.2 vs. New Mexico)

Translation: Cal had a turnover margin that was +2.5 ahead of where national averages suggest it should have been. As each turnover is worth approximately five points, that means the Golden Bears enjoyed about a 12 or 13-point boost thanks to turnovers luck. Made quite the difference in a two-point win (and explains why Washington only fell one spot in S&P+ despite the loss).
