This seems as good a place as any to put this. I was looking at the F+ ratings just now (because I wanted to see how far Cal fell after the debacle last week, 18 places! Would've been the biggest if not for Miami's even worse debacle) and noticed this line in the writeup:

The components for S&P+ reflect the components of four of what Bill Connelly has deemed the Five Factors of college football: efficiency), explosiveness, field position, and finishing drives. (A fifth factor, turnovers, is informed marginally by sack rates, the only quality-based statistic that has a consistent relationship with turnover margins.)

Interesting that we're having trouble getting sacks and turnovers, even if the influence in marginal.
