🛡️ Now flip it to defense.

Texas, Wisconsin, and LSU stand out for limiting success on both standard and passing downs.

Oklahoma is especially stingy on standard downs, while UCLA leads the way on passing downs.

Which defense would you trust to get a stop?

📊 Opponent-adjusted offensive success rates through Week 7

Houston, LSU, and USC are among the teams thriving in both passing and standard down situations.

Who's been the most efficient QB through Week 7? 📊

🥇 Jayden Maiava (USC) — 0.43
🥈 Darian Mensah (Miami) — 0.42
🥉 Josh Hoover (Indiana) — 0.40

Who's standing out to you?

[Bill Radjewski | CollegeFootballData.com @CFB_Data]

CORE stands for Context & Opponent-Relative Efficiency.

It uses play-level EPA, adjusted for game situation and opponent strength, to rate offense and defense.

How CORE works: https://t.co/ulFDRNrR9N

[Bill Radjewski | CollegeFootballData.com @CFB_Data]

CORE offense vs. defense through Week 7.

➡️ Right = better offense
⬆️ Up = better defense
🎯 Top right = strong on both sides

The race for college football's most valuable kicker is razor-thin. 🦵

Texas A&M's David Olano leads the nation in Points Added Above Replacement (PAAR) at 9.17, just 0.01 ahead of UAB's Jonah Delange.

Olano has done it on 7 fewer attempts.

Here's a focused look at just Wins Above Bubble, the "most deserving" part of the playoff debate. Seems to do a nice job of sorting teams despite different W-L records and conference affiliations.
