c.) B1G
When it comes to Total Defense, one conference has half of the teams in the top 10. The Big Ten Conference actually has 5 teams in the top 9 when it comes to Total Defense.
- Wisconsin ... #1
- Penn State ... #2
- M*ch*g*n State ... #5
- Ohio State ... #8
- M*ch*g*n ... #9

d.) B1G
When it comes to rushing the ball in 2014, one conference has a third of the teams in the top 15. The Big Ten Conference actually has 5 out of the top 15 Rushing Offenses in the country.
- Wisconsin ... #2
- Nebraska ... #7
- Indiana ... #10
- Ohio State ... #13
- M*ch*g*n State ... #15

That's right, it's the Big Ten Conference yet again. When you look at the statistics for the top 10 rushers in college football this season, the Big Ten dominates again. Half of the top 8 come from just one conference. They are:
- Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana ... #3
- Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin ... #4
- Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska ... #5
- David Cobb, RB, Minnesota ... #8
So there are some good stats you can use for ammunition next time you hear somebody saying how bad the Big Ten sucks.
