After watching the University of Cincinnati Bearcats lose yet another game in which they out gained their opponents, I compiled the offensive yards and offensive points per game for every FBS team and graphed the results.

This confirmed my suspicions that the Bearcats are terrible at turning yards into points.

In fact, they are the absolute worst at it, and by a wide margin. Based on the trend, the Cats are missing about 9.01 points per game given their total offensive yardage, over 1.5 points worse than the 2nd worst UTEP team. That’s worse by half a standard deviation, and nobody besides those two are worse than 2 standard deviations from the mean.

Below is the full chart if you would like to see where your team falls in this metric. A larger positive value for missing points per game is worse.
