Others have already made this point, but not all those stats were compiled against equal competition.
AFA and BSU's stats are impressive against any competition. But that doesn't mean they would have the same results against our schedule. Other schools you list like Virgina, Clemson, Virginia Tech, etc. actually do have more talent.
I don't buy that it is totally talent either. But you can't discount it as a contributing issue.
P.S.
Didn't we raid the defense to shore up our OL? Could any of those players make our defense better if they swapped back? ( I assume CPJ has taken the tradeoff into account when switching someone from defense. But I wonder if CPJ's acceptance of the situation is due to the fact that he made the choice to bolster offense with defensive talent.)
