BCS rank versus National rank in Offense and Defense

[frogbyproxy]

I did a comparison of BCS standings versus national standings in offense and defense to see who will survive in the next few weeks. I think Oklahoma is a goner.

Interesting, I hope we keep playing well.

Remember Oregon beat NewMex 72-0 which skewed stats

TCU definitely edges Utah in defense yds and Offense yds. But the important stat is Special Teams kick off returns and punt returns. Those are yards per return not per game. so Utah's edge there adds up quick. All in all I think it balances out and Utah wins by home field advantage everything else being equal. I actually crunched those numbers, if anyone wants me to post them, showing each team's national rankings and which team has the edge in each category.
