Oregon State claims the top spot. #5 Florida certainly didn't look like they could stop the run against Georgia, but they've held most of their opponents below 100 yards.

BYU has been #1 since I started looking at these stats in week 5, but this week they fall to #2 behind LSU. Now, of course, they don't look too out of place at 5-2.
Last week #4 Southern Cal outgained #3 Oregon by 39 yards, closing the gap between them from 22 yards to about 7 yards.
