AKR end zone ← 100 yards → MASS end zone
A longer bar = a better setup for the offense: half from how high the offense ranks, half from how low the defense across from it ranks (of 137). A full bar is the best offense against the worst defense; the dashed tick is an even matchup. Biggest advantage first.
MASS's defense has it in rushing, havoc, finishing drives, passing and turnovers.
MASS has the clear advantage in turnovers, havoc, passing, rushing and finishing drives; AKR's defense has it in third-down conversion.

The 6 measures where these two sit furthest apart among the league's 138 ranked teams, over each team's last 13 regular-season games (Oct 2025 – Oct 2026; 8 in 2026, 5 in 2025). A longer bar = higher in the league (rank 1 = highest, even for points allowed). A rank says where a number sits, not which side it points to.
