College Football Offense Watch, Louisville Top the Scoring Table

Sometimes the cleanest read is the simplest one, points on the board. Over the last seven days, these are the College Football offenses that have been doing the piling.

Setting the pace

The most dangerous offense right now belongs to Louisville: 97 points across two games, 48.5 a night, against 54 allowed. That is a margin you can feel from the cheap seats.

Notre Dame are next at 46.5 points a game, close enough to argue.

SMU (41.5 per game) keep the top group honest.

The quiet end

Wisconsin bring up the rear at 24.5 points per game over 2 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.

Top to bottom, the gap runs 24.0 points per game, which over a week is the difference between a lineup that scares people and one that just hopes to keep things close.

One more thing

Everything above is counted from completed games in the window and nothing else: no strength-of-schedule massage, no projections, just the scoreboard.

A week of scoring says plenty about form and nothing certain about tonight, offense arrives in waves, and waves recede.
