BTW, contrast what these HARD FACTS say relative to the made-up bullshit, supposed "facts" the b1g's own Network has spun and marketed about PSU and Iowa..... then tell me there isn't a clear bias relative to PSU in this Conference and the "Traditional b1g" homer scumbags that run it, populate its Officiating Responsibilities..... its media outlets, etc..... There are so many posing b1g foil loudmoths on this board who rant on and on about how there is no such bias - if this were remotely true, do tell how they have the ACTUAL INCONTRIVERTIBLE FACTS diametrically opposite of what they are in REALITY??? (while they have spent 100% of their air-time promoting Iowa as a "complete team" and PSU as a flawed team based on their below average running game, they have completely ignored THE FACT that Iowa's running offense is WORSE than PSU's running offense! They have also ignored that PSU's Passing Offense is outstanding making PSU's overall offense well above average [28th Percentile using stats you cited - 37th of 130]. PSU averages ~420 Offensive Yards Per Game on 337 plays [6.2 YPP] - 6.2 YPP is an outstanding number and hardly something to sneeze at. In contrast, Iowa's Passing Game sucks nearly as bad as their Rushing Offense, such that their Overall Offense is bottom of the barrel, not just in b1g, but nationally as well - according to your citation above, Iowa is in the 78th Percentile in Overall Offense [101st of 130] averaging only 320 YPG and 4.8 YPP on 334 total offensive plays this year.).
Yards Per Play is the best stat, most "statistically reliable" in evaluating how successful an Offensive Team is, and will be, but somehow, the "unbiased" brainiacs in the b1g, have come to the conclusion, that a NATIONALLY SUB-AVERAGE number of 4.8 YPP is somehow better than a WELL-ABOVE AVERAGE YPP of 6.2 and suggestive that Iowa has the better "more complete"... "very good"..... Offense, while PSU's Offense is awful and has no chance versus Iowa???? If this type of b1g homer anti-PSU re-rendering of the real and actual facts (i.e., the numbers are biased and being impacted by - IOW resulting from) isn't demonstrative of what scientists call "bias", not sure what is....
