Yet again, LSU and BYU remain the leaders in overall yardage difference.
Total Yardage Differential (adjusted for opposition):
Rank Team Rec Yards Off Def
1. LSU 10-1 207.9 13 3
2. Brigham Young 8-2 203.2 8 8
3. Southern Cal 8-2 191.1 37 2

9. Arizona St 9-1 160.2 23 7
10. Missouri 10-1 159.8 5 38
The only real changes at the top are Ohio State moving up slightly, and Oklahoma falling to #11.

10. Nebraska 5-6 483.2 [ 10] 165.8 [ 51] 317.3 [ 11]
The offense top 10 is fairly similar to last week's as well. It will be interesting to see how much of their offensive output Oregon can maintain, but the Arizona loss didn't hurt their stats much.
111. Syracuse 2-9 298.5 [111] 79.0 [115] 219.5 [ 66]
112. Utah St 1-10 298.4 [112] 117.9 [ 94] 180.5 [ 97]

119. Florida Int'l 0-10 258.0 [119] 121.7 [ 92] 136.2 [119]
120. Notre Dame 2-9 246.4 [120] 101.3 [106] 145.0 [116]
Here's the bottom 10, once again. Notre Dame is still last despite the Duke win. Iowa slipped to 6-6 and might not be bowl-bound after all. Now the winning team with the worst offense belongs to #106 Wake Forest (7-4).

Week after week, Hawaii and Texas Tech have traded bragging rights in passing offense. Last Saturday Tech took the lead back with their 420-yard performance against Oklahoma's 27th ranked pass defense.

10. LSU 10-1 470.8 [ 13] 235.1 [ 10] 235.7 [ 51]
Oregon slips from #2 to #4 in rushing yards, and will likely fall further without Dixon adding to Jonathan Stewart's yardage. And wait, I just noticed...Louisiana-Lafayette??? Well, they have two rushers in the top 50, their quarterback and running back. It's a good thing since they're 118th in passing.
Now for defense:
Total Defense Yardage Averages (adjusted for opposition):
Rank Team Rec Total (rank) Rush (rank) Pass (rank)
1. Ohio State 11-1 215.4 [ 1] 47.6 [ 2] 167.7 [ 2]

10. Oklahoma 9-2 298.6 [ 10] 95.5 [ 12] 203.0 [ 27]
Ohio State is back up to #2 in both measures, and remains #1 overall. Holding Michigan to 15 yards rushing helped keep them on track.

Now USC claims the top passing defense. Texas Tech slips to third.

10. Kansas 11-0 300.3 [ 11] 89.2 [ 10] 211.0 [ 40]
Ohio State improves quite a bit but can't quite dislodge Oregon State from the top spot.
