A bit different from @OrangeBowlMagic Weekly Team Stats. These are just some interesting stats after most teams have gotten through at least 3 games. This isn't from any articles, just me scanning through rankings at cfbstats.com. Using the vs FBS only, here are some of the standout rankings.
(#Ranking) Scoring Offense - PPG:
(#3) Clemson - 48.3
(#8) Virginia Tech - 42.0
(#9) SMU - 40.8
-Outside of Clemson, UAB is the highest ranked scoring offense we've faced so far....at #42 out of 77.
Rushing Offense - Per Game:
(#3) Virginia Tech - 312.00
(#8) UNC - 229.75
-UAB(#32) and FSU(#30) are both ranked infront of Clemson(#31) for rushing yards per game. Pitt is #70
-LSU(#71) lol
-Miss. State(Dead Last) has ran for 115 yards combined in their first 4 games. I'll also point out that 87 of their yards was against Arkansas...that means they ran for a total of 27 yards against the other 3. If Miami's season up to this point consisted of 2 games against Clemson, we'd still have more rushing yards than them. Mike Leach loving up the SEC so far.
Passing Offense - Per Game:
-Skipping Clemson(#5), Pitt(#20) was the best passing offense we faced, and of course they didn't have their starting QB. Every other school we've played is ranked worse than us(#42). Mike Leach does have Miss. State at #7 here to make up for the lack of a running game.
LSU is #71 in 3rd down conversion % with 23.08%
Scoring Defense - PPG:
(#8) Clemson - 15
(#10) UAB - 17
(#20) Miami - 23.8
(#22) Pitt - 24.4
-Florida and UCF (tied at #52) are both in front of FSU (#58)
Total Defense - Yards Per Play:
(#5) Clemson - 4.38
(#7) Pitt - 4.54
(#18) UAB - 4.96
(#22) Miami - 5.21
-The top 2 teams are....Big 12 teams??? West Virginia(#1)and Oklahoma State(#2)
-Alabama is #50 even though they are #35 in scoring defense.
-LSU is #72 lol
-Every school except FSU(#64) we played is top 30 in Pass Defense(Yards per Game). UAB is #3. LSU is #76 lol
-Pitt is still #3 in Rushing Defense(Yards per Game). Clemson is #13
-Oklahoma State has held its 3 opponents to a 16.28% third down conversion rate.
-Arkansas leads the league with 10 total interceptions.
-Pitt (29) followed by Clemson(22) leads the league in total sacks. UAB and VT are tied at #9 with 15 sacks, while we have 14 on the season.
-In terms of Penalties, Clemson and Louisville are tied at #29 and everyone else we've played are behind them.
Again, my source for stats/rankings is cfbstats.com and are against FBS only.
