With full acknowledgement of the sbortcuts/flaws/blind spots in this approach, here is a list of every Pac-12 team since 2014 ranked by number of games missed by players in their season-end top 15 for snaps on either offense or defense:
1. 2021 Washington - 61 (12 games) - 5.08
...
Some questions about your chart.
1. What exactly is the number listed for each team?
You stated, "number of games missed by players in their season-end top 15 for snaps on either offense or defense".
Number of games missed ought to be a whole number. Here something is apparently divided out.
Is it something like average number of players missing per game?
2. Where do you find stats for snaps played? And games missed? (PFF?)
Or is the stat you list itself available somewhere?
3. It would seem that this might account for minor injuries but not major injuries. i.e. a player with a major injury would miss enough time that he wouldn't end up in the top 15 for the team in snaps played. Does that seem correct?
