Do I need to lower the distro on the players who get the most turnovers, or will that not make a difference?

I know my team isn't very balanced but I haven't played THAT many extreme gameplans agains me.

I'm turning it over 14.3 times a game and only causing 12.8. My team seems too good to be turning it over more than my opponents are.

I don't know that you're turning it over that much unless you're playing a slow down offense and then that number would be high.  In the games you ran uptempo, you had more turnovers.  As a percentage of overall possessions you might not be too bad. You also need to consider the strength of man2man defenses you've played as well as the number of press defenses you've faced. It's more that you're getting fewer turnovers due to running a zone defense. If you played against only zone defenses with your team playing zone defense, I think you'd find yourself winning the turnover battle handily.

you play lots of good to great man and press teams.  some very talents teams between Weena nd Kann6c.

Well, you have below avg pa/bh for a BCS team, and yes, forcing the ball into certain players will increase their TO's. Looking at your team, overall talent and distro, the fact that you're turning the ball over a decent amount isn't hugely surprising.

And then there's the strategic element to it. You've made some decisions in many of your high TO games that have led directly to that result (i.e. running uptempo and/or running plays smack into the teeth of the defense when playing against good press teams). A good example: You have a pg with 91 pe, yet you keep trying to force him to drive against strong press teams and he keeps turning it over, and you haven't made an adjustment.
