SEC Tempo Free Stats

I'll begin simply posting tempo-free stats for the other major (including MVC) conferences (except the Big Ten which has plenty of good tempo-free analysis already. Keep in mind, all of these numbers are in-conference numbers only. I feel it's a great way to

1. Compare conference teams between each other with "similar" opponents and
2. Compare the varying conference styles between each other
3. Gather a different perspective as to why "such and such" is occurring to your team
4. Validate or un-de-validate claims that you may have regarding your particular conference

It should be noted (as you already know) that in conferences that don't do a full round robin (every major one but the MVC and Pac10), you may see a slight imbalance of the numbers due to scheduling differences. Just keep that in mind when you see numbers throughout the season.

So, on to the numbers. I've got the SEC up first. In the next few days I'll have the ACC, Big East, Big 12 and MVC (in no particular order)

*****Update 2/20/07- mid-majors, a la their recent success, are making appearances as well. As are the 2006 stats of the conferences. Just see them on the right column ****
