Daily Dose of Statistical Minutiae, 2/14/13

2012 was the highest scoring season in the history of college football. Teams in the top division scored 46,018 points. This outpaced previous leaders 2007 (43,086) and 2011 (43,776). One reason for the extra points is that we have more FBS teams in 2012 than in 2011 or 2007, but teams also scored an extra point per game in 2012 than in 2011.
