BlitzIndex College Football Defense Rankings as of Nov 16

November 19th, 2008 by Vince Mullins

Some fantasy leagues have their championship week starting Wednesday, some leagues have already crowned their season winner – regardless we will keep you up to date with the latest defense rankings as we also stare down some amazing games on tap with national title implications.

First off, #1 USC slipped a little bit – they no longer possess the perfect score of #1 rankings in each category of Yards Per Play allowed (YPP), Yards per Point allowed (YPPt) and Points per Game allowed (PPG). Boise State stole the YPPt #1 rank after crushing Idaho.

This week the nation pauses to watch a Big 12 showdown of #43 defense Texas Tech visiting #49 Oklahoma – both teams seem to employ a “bend-but-don’t-break” defense that gives up long plays but shuts down near the end zone.

Ohio State moves back up the charts, now poised at #8 and hosting a moribund “get a life” Michigan Wolverines that sport the 80th ranked defense.

Finally the Holy War of Utah determines the MWC Champ as #21 Defense BYU visits the #11 Utes that allow just 16 ppg.

To the total list – and yes, continue to play whomever you can against Washington State (huskies in the Apple Cup) and North Texas (Going to Middle Tennessee)…
