Top FBS Defenses for now

[Codaxx]

But your offensive statistics could go up after those three games.

I don't think Baylor had a terrible defense. They actually have one of the better DLs in the country. They happen to play behind an offense that doesn't care that they aren't particularly deep

Of the three, Baylor's is definitely better than TCU and Tech. They just seem passe at times to me.

Hard to keep gas in your tank when your offense is only on the field for an average of 2 minutes or less per drive...

I thought I saw 50% of Baylor offensive drives average 10 yards or more per play. That is video game shit

OU 23rd...don't think so. They let a JV offense run all over them.

You mean they have a JV DC.

Its insane that Boston College is 3-3. Should be almost impossible to lose when your allowing a 140 yards per game. BC has lost 3-0 to Wake Forest, 9-7 to Duke, and 14-0 to FSU(and one those FSU TDs was a defensive TD) Anyway if I was Clemson I would be very scared this week.

I completely missed this thread last week

I do believe that is a whiff!

Don't see many Big 12 teams on the top 50 list.

Maybe, but in addition to their beat downs of both BYU and Northwestern, two teams that don't impress you, they only lost to Utah by seven points. I am picking Sparty to win on Saturday, but I won't be at all surprised if MI wins.

Glad someone bumped this thread. Forgot I posted that ^ @clarkson23devils ! LOL

Houston defense has moved up to 17th fewest points per game (17.6) after allowing only 17 points in its last three games. Obviously face a much tougher test this week, since Cincinnati averages 38.5 points per game. If UH holds them closer to 17.6 than 38.5, I feel pretty good about the right team winning.

Yeah you have to take into account the competition. Obviously, Appalachian St isn't that good of a defense.

I have a feeling either Baylor, TCU, Notre Dame or Clemson will lose this week. This week could be a huge moving week for some teams in the rankings.

Baylor losing would obviously be the biggest upset of those four, but with a freshman QB making his first start and doing it on the road, there is a chance that KSU pulls it off. Still, I think all four of those team most likely win, but who knows?

Well you know LSU or BAMA will lose and the loser will drop about 4 spots. But I have a feeling a few of these guys go down this week.

TCU goes down in Stoolwater.

Nope.

And the ones that are in the top 22 will probably fall a bit when facing the offensive onslaught that is the upper half of the Big XII.

Do these stats adjust for time on the field? I only see time of possession.

If I understand the tone of your post correctly, you're interested in identifying teams near the top of the first CFP rankings that are candidates to lose this week. Is that right? If so, how about throwing MSU at Nebraska onto the pile?

Good one. Mike Riley had a way of raining on Pete Carrol's USC parade...even when the Beavers were crappy.
