Its the gut feeling vs. the analytics. Its a common debate in sports.Oregon has made a habit of going for two whenever it feels it has an advantage. Last week against Nebraska, the Ducks went for two after all five of their touchdowns. However, they failed to convert on four of those. Had they converted those four, they win. If they make the PATs, they go to overtime with the Cornhuskers. Instead, the Ducks lost 35-32, and reignited the debate over their use of the two-point conversion.ESPN Stats & Information analytics writer Sharon Katz takes a run through some of the more debatable data, and then ESPN senior writer Mark Schlabach offers his take.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Rory McIlroy is confident he can turn his season around by claiming a third U.S. PGA Championship title in the space of five years.McIlroy won the Irish Open in May and has recorded eight other top-10 finishes in strokeplay events in 2016, but failed to add to his tally of four major titles in the Masters, U.S. Open and the Open.The 28-year-old opted for neutral when asked to describe his 2016 campaign in one word, but feels he can find top gear once more at Baltusrol, especially after Mondays thunderstorm recalled the soft conditions which prevailed for his breakthrough U.S. Open victory at Congressional in 2011.Its a fair golf course, everything is straight out in front of you, said McIlroy, who won the U.S. PGA in 2012 and 2014 and has recorded three other top-eight finishes in his seven appearances.Theres no real hidden secrets to it and I feel thats what really lets me excel. I feel like I can play my game in PGA Championships. I can hit driver off the tee most times and from there, if I drive it well, I feel like I have a big advantage.Theres been times [this year] where I got a little bit of momentum and then sort of got set back a little bit. Its sort of been a little stop-start in a way. Im trying to stay as positive as I can. I feel like I am positive because my game is in good shape, but I guess Im just maybe running out of patience a little bit in trying to make it happen.As for a grade, Id say like a B- maybe. I could change that into an A+ on Sunday. Theres a lot of golf left, last major of the year, and I want to give it my all to get in the mix and try to win another one of these things before I have to wait another eight months to try to get another opportunity at Augusta next year.If McIlroy does not lift the enormous Wanamaker Trophy again on Sunday it will mean going two full years without a major title, the world No.4 having won the Open and U.S. PGA in 2014, with a first World Golf Championship title sandwiched in between for good measure.Since then thhe likes of Jordan Spieth, Zach Johnson, Jason Day, Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson have demonstrated the strength in depth of world golf by winning majors, but McIlroy believes he should still expect to be winning one a year himself.ddddddddddddId love to sit here and say Im going to win a major every year, he added. I could retire at 40 and be very happy.I think it is realistic, I really do. Weve seen in the past that is achievable. Thats the benchmark. Its hard but I guess from 2011-14 I averaged a major a year.Theres no reason to think that I cant do that for the foreseeable future. I have to play my best golf and sometimes its hard to come up with your best golf each and every week. I definitely think its attainable.McIlroy has finished third and fifth in his two events since missing the cut in the U.S. Open and admits he was motivated by being left trailing an amazing 16 shots behind Open champion Stenson at Royal Troon.I think any time you walk away from a big tournament and you havent lifted a trophy, its going to motivate you, McIlroy added.How can you not be motivated by watching that golf on the Sunday of the Open Championship with Phil [Mickelson] and Henrik? Just going blow for blow down the stretch, that can only give you motivation and get the juices flowing.You see guys and sometimes you think that should be me and it gives you a bit of a kick in the ass to get out there and go practice.McIlroy also has added motivation to get into contention and earn a late tee time for Sundays final round, revealing he has tickets to watch fellow Northern Irishman Carl Framptons world title boxing fight on Saturday.If everything goes to plan I will be able to get to the Barclays Centre [in nearby New York] to cheer him on, McIlroy added. Ive never been to one of his fights before so hopefully Ill have a late tee time on Sunday. ' ' '
