Interesting stats-thing

Don't know if this is meaningful but it is an interesting look (I thought) at Carr vs. other coaches against different types of teams (by ranking). Infer whatever you will from it.

BTW, if Michigan wins Carr will be 3rd all-time in Big Ten win % (10 season minimum; this keeps Tressel out, though he'll be way up there in 3 years) behind Bo and Yost. Woody is 3rd/4th, Crisler is 5th.

Some interesting stats on that page for Spurrier (stats are for when he was at Florida using the final AP top 25 polls):
-83-1 vs. unranked teams (Anybody know who the lose was to?)
-44% of his games were against top 25 teams
-23% of games were against top 10 teams

The Spurrier thing was just amazing when I first looked at it. The other thing is that Holtz was pretty damned good. Even moreso when it turns out that no one can win at ND at an elite level (or they only hire incompetents). But he had an excellent record against very hard competition.

Also, the fact that Lloyd has 1 fewer win vs. a top ten than Joe Pa is hilarious.
