I came across this the other day. Calculates many statistics but focus on Net point per drive measured as Offensive PPD - Defensive PPD with some exceptions (end of half/game, etc.). Since 2007, only one National Champion has finished outside the top 10 (Auburn 2010 at #13) in this statistic. We were #1 in 2021 and 2022 & #3 in 2017 and 2023. There is no information on where the eventual champion was prior to the post season, but we are currently sitting at #24. I don't know if this means a thing right now, but if we win it all this year, it was by the skin of our teeth.
Of note the 2021 defense gave up 0.69 points per drive, only eclipsed by the 2011 Bama defense that gave up 0.49.
