Legends say that if we beat Texas, the Fanalytix graph will open a Stargate to Ancient EgyptHere is this week's graphic. View attachment 77665
I mean that’s interesting, but that’s about it. The point of a chart is to make raw data easier to consume. This graphic does the reverse- it actually makes it more difficult.Essentially, it provides a graphic presentation of this data, but using color to separate the teams rather than have two lists.

You can’t read a circle?I'm just a lowly Professional Engineer with a wife who has a PhD in statistics. This makes sense to neither of us.
chuckle...that can sure do it! Actually, I looked at the chart that he did for KU and it looked so confusing that I just casually examined it and then gave up. When I took a look at this one it then began to make more sense. Then after studying it a bit more it finally all fell into place. It's really just a drive chart that's arranged in a circle rather than being linear. Without getting into the details of the chart information, it shows the drive length for both distance and time by the amount of color for each team.I guess kids have broken my brain.
I understand why you might think that. It does seem like there is a lot going on. However, I find that it shows the flow of the game in a very simple, almost elegant manner. I can make observations immediately with ease that are harder to make from a regular drive chart (and I like regular drive charts).
- In the center of the ring, why is there a state of Iowa icon above the Baylor score?
- And what is the icon above the Iowa State score?
I don't think that is true unless I am not understanding what you mean. ISU scored TDs in the second, third and fourth quarters. All of them are represented by reaching the perimeter of the ring. Baylor scored TDs in the first, second and fourth quarters. All of them are represented by reaching the interior limit of the ring.chuckle...that can sure do it!

What confuses it a bit is that the drive direction on the chart changes each quarter just as it does in the game. I keep having to remind myself of that.
You're right. I now notice, after you mentioned that, that there are little gray arrows at the beginning of each drive. Very hard to see at the posted resolution (more noticable on the graph that Chris first posted). All of our arrows are pointed toward the outer ring and all of Baylor's arrows are pointed toward the inner ring, just as you say. Now I'll have to go back and look at that graph again with that new information!I don't think that is true unless I am not understanding what you mean.
