I wanted to take a look and see what all of the National Championship teams in the Playoff Era have in common and see if there are trends that we can see. The chart below is showing each teams rankings in Points Per Game, Yards Per Game, Points Per Game Allowed, Yards Per Game Allowed, Yards Per Play and Yards Per Play Allowed. Year Team Points/Game Yards/Game Points/Game Allowed Yards/Game Allowed Yards/Play Yards/Play Allowed 2023 Michigan 12 62 1 1 24 4 2022 Georgia 4 6 5 10 2 16 2021 Georgia 8 24 1 3 4 2 2020 Alabama 2 4 13 29 2 17 2019 LSU 1 1 20 27 2 29 2018 Clemson 4 3 1 4 3 2 2017 Alabama 13 25 1 1 13 1 2016 Clemson 17 12 11 10 33 8 2015 Alabama 33 42 3 3 44 1 2014 Ohio State 4 8 18 15 5 16 What is very clear is that each team was ELITE on at least one side of the ball. The chances of winning a natty also increase if you are ELITE on D. Maybe a good sign for the 2024 Buckeyes. What do these numbers tell you?
