This is a visualization of every teams’ adjusted Offensive Points Per Possession vs Defensive Points Per Possession.
Adjusted Points Per Possession is also called “PPP vs Average” in this model. It is a team’s expected PPP against an average opponent.
To calculate dependency, each team’s offensive PPP is divided by the FBS average PPP. On the other side of the ball, the FBS average is divided by each team’s defensive PPP. The difference between these 2 divided numbers is the dependency graphed out below.
