a couple of national defensive efficiency rankings that show how good this defense has become.
espn: 9th
football outsiders: 6th
espn doesnt really go into any detail beyond saying values are adjusted for sos and down weighted for garbage time. football outsiders goes into more detail including rankings in the various categories that go into their adjusted for sos dfei ratings that represent the per possession scoring advantage a defense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average offense. things like td rate, 1st down rate, pct of available yards surrendered, and turnover rate. right now this defense is trending toward finishing right up there with the best defenses muschamp has ever had.
