Team rankings
College Football team rankings: offense and defense
PickFinder Team•Updated:
Oregon State leads College Football teams in passing yards at 383.4 per game in 2026. UAB allows the fewest (116) and San Diego State allows the most (285.3).
The biggest mismatch on passing yards: Oregon State (1st in passing yards, 383.4 per game) against West Virginia (210th allowed, 317.9 per game). These are 2026 numbers through about 8 games per team. Only teams with at least 4 games are listed.
Offense: 1st produces the mostDefense: 1st allows the least (toughest)
Green always means more of the stat, red means less. So a green defense is a soft one, and a green offense is a productive one. These are team totals per game.
Offense and defense, 2026
Teams with fewer than 4 games are left out: 97 of 235 this season. Ranks are still out of all ranked teams.

Go from team to player
A team edge goes to whoever takes the volume. The defense vs position table shows which position gets it, and the app shows each player's hit rate against today's line.
How this is counted
Team totals per game for 2026: every player's stat on the team, added up per game, for the team's own players (offense) and for the players it faced (defense). Offense ranks 1st for the most, defense ranks 1st for the least, with ties sharing a rank. Mismatches take, for each of the first four stats, the three most productive offenses against the three softest defenses and show how far each side sits from the league average, averaged. Computed each morning from every box score of the season, preseason excluded, and refreshed here by 8:40 AM ET. Teams with fewer than 4 games are left out of the tables (97 of 235), though ranks are still out of all ranked teams, so they match the app.
