A note about each team in the current AP top 10:
#1 Alabama gave up 628 yards and 42 points to Texas A&M. They’ve given up 871 yards and 19 points to the other four teams they’ve played combined.
#2 Oregon has not scored less than 55 points in a game this year, nor have they given up more than 16 points in a game. Only one other team in the country can make the first claim (Baylor); only one other team can make the second (Louisville).
#3 Clemson already has 221 points in 5 games. In their 1981 national championship year, they had 338 points in 12 games, and that’s counting an 82-point outburst in one game.
#4 Ohio State has an 18-game winning streak, the longest in the country. Eight of those wins have come by 10 points or less.
#5 Stanford avenged their only Pac-12 loss since 2009 to a team not named Oregon with their win over Washington this past Saturday.
#6 Florida State is 3rd in the country in scoring offense and scoring defense, the only team besides Oregon in the top-10 in both categories.
#7 Georgia is the first team since Alabama in 2008 to beat two top-10 teams before October.
#8 Louisville has Teddy Bridgewater, yes…but they also currently have the #1 scoring defense in the nation, at just 6.8 points allowed per game.
#9 Texas A&M is third in the country in total offense, fourth in scoring offense, sixth in passing offense, and fourteenth in rushing offense.
#10 LSU is currently averaging 291.5 yards per game passing, which puts the Tigers in striking distance of a team record – the current LSU mark for passing yards per game in a season is 298.2 in 2001.
