Stop rate is back.
If you’ve been waiting a few weeks for the first edition of the 2022 stop rate standings, thank you for your patience. If you completely forgot about it, hopefully this is a pleasant surprise.
What is stop rate? It’s a basic measurement of success: the percentage of a defense’s drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs. This simple metric can offer a more accurate reflection of a defense’s effectiveness in today’s faster-tempo game than yards per game or points per game. We’ve been tracking this for each of the past five seasons (here are the final standings for 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017) along with every defense’s points per drive average.
Because we filter out games against FCS opponents for these standings, it’s usually best to wait a month and let these defenses play at least four FBS opponents before the stop rates start to become more meaningful. It’s finally time to dig into this data.
Last season, the top 25 teams in stop rate went a combined 257-78 (.767). Sixteen of them won 10 or more games, and six won conference titles.
