We carried out an analysis based on sum rules and determined the radio-frequency spectroscopy shift observed in Chin et al.'s experiment [C. Chin, M. Bartenstein, A. Altmeyer, S. Riedl, S. Jochim, J. Denschlag, and R. Grimm, Science 305, 1128 (2004)]. It is shown that such a shift can be interpreted as spin correlations peculiar to a BCS-type state. An analytical form for the shift is obtained which enables us to make quantitative comparisons with the experiment throughout the crossover. We also calculated the width of the resonance. An interesting consequence is noticed, which can possibly be tested by future experiments.
