2024 Offensive & Defensive Yards Per Game
Compared to What Their Opponents are Allowing
I have broke down the offensive and defensive averages and I took all those averages (both offense and defense) and combined them to come up with the most impressive teams in the country compared to how they fared against their opponent. Here is a ranking of all 134 teams and how they did. This list does take out Garbage yards that may occur during overtime and/or blowout wins/losses.
