There are many, many, many factors and criteria for the OC search. On full display from the Alabama win is that we dominated the time of possession to give the defense a rest and limit the number of drives for the opposition. I think this stat is not being talked enough about the complementary style of football we are now seeking.
Current rankings of teams with OC’s in the hunt:
Time of Possession
Tulane #2 = 35:22
WSU #90 = 29:14
OU #97 = 28:48
Pittsburgh #130 = 26:03

How much does this tip the scale to one candidate over another?
