I sort by ypp. I'm one of those people.
I mean, nobody *actually* gets 5 yards every play and scores a touchdown every drive, just like how "big play" teams sometimes string together several big plays in a row. If you match up these teams the one with 6 ypp is going to win the vast majority of the time.
If you want to imagine a bad side to your consistent 5 ypp team, just watch Georgia Tech the next time they need to run a 2 minute drill.
