Stats To-Do List

For personal bookkeeping and as a rudimentary "open issues" system:

Visual Issues

• Turn the raw numbers graph red and green for consistency
• Add the year the stats were taken from on the header
• Add a legend
• Fix the ugly scrollbars on IE
• Make the graph change on selection instead of focus-loss in IE.
• Fix the y-axis on efficiency graphs so that it goes from 0-100.

Expanding Existing Stats

• Incorporate "third and zero" into the distance graphs.
• Calculate a "first down conversion rate."
• Look into redoing the smoothing so each point has a certain amount of data behind it.
• Calculate an "expected conversion rate" for each team based on their distance distribution and their divergence from this--essentially the red/green proportions in numeric form.

Totally Different Stuff

• Find the success rate of 'desperation drives' of various lengths and use them to beat the don't-punt-with-a-chance-to-kill-the-game thing into the ground.

Cool But Unfeasible

• Conversion rates based on an individual player's third down attempts (Reason: insufficent data.
• Exploration of Michigan's "scoring offense" phenomenon (insufficient data).

And I'm always soliciting ideas in the comments or email.
