No real surprises at the top of the defensive chart, either:

Oregon State's rushing defense matches the performance of their rushing offense; must be interesting on those occassions where the 1st teams face off in practice.

BYU has been #1 since I started looking at these stats in week 5. Since then they've kept winning. They're in pretty good company if you look at the next 10 teams.
