Five amazing stats from a crazy Week 12 in college football

As the 2016 regular season winds down, it’s worth remembering just how difficult it is for a team to run the table, let alone go undefeated in its own conference.

Through the Week 12 results, the Football Bowl Subdivision still boasts only two undefeated teams, Alabama and Western Michigan. But only two more have yet to lose a league game.

Oklahoma has a chance to sweep the Big 12 if the Sooners can beat archrival Oklahoma State in two weeks. Arkansas State stands as the leader and lone undefeated in the Sun Belt after prevailing in convincing fashion in a first-place showdown with Troy Thursday night. That’s just four teams with the opportunity to achieve conference perfection.

Misery Index Week 12: Adversity in Austin

Here are a few more numbers of note produced in Week 12.

453 — Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau might have just turned in the performance of the season on Saturday in the Buffs’ 38-24 win against Washington State. He threw for 345 yards and added 108 rush yards with three scoring runs for 453 yards of total offense. He got plenty of help from running back Phillip Lindsay, who ran for two TDs himself and amassed 144 more yards on the ground.

The win has the Buffs in a position to win the Pac-12 South a year after going 4-9.

309 — In Navy’s triple-option offense, the first two choice are usually the quarterback keeper and the fullback give. The Midshipmen had both parts working in the 66-31 romp at East Carolina that clinched the program’s first conference division title in history. Triggerman Will Worth picked up 159 yards and scored four times, and Shawn White took handoffs for another 150 and three more TDs. The devastating duo combined for 309 yards and seven of the team’s nine rushing TDs.

215 — Not to be outdone, Air Force QB Arion Worthman ran for 215 yards himself and added a huge 22-yard TD pass to Jalen Robinette as the Falcons outlasted San Jose State 41-38 late Saturday night.

College football's Week 12 winners and losers

158 — With the snow flying in the stiff wind in Ann Arbor, Michigan running back De’Veon Smith came to the rescue when there wasn’t much happening in the passing game. He rushed for 158 yards and two third-quarter scores to help the Wolverines pull away from Indiana in a 20-10 win.

4 — West Virginia’s four turnovers proved their undoing in the 56-28 loss to Oklahoma in equally nasty conditions in Morgantown. The Sooners turned each of those four miscues into touchdowns, including an 80-yard interception return for a score by Jordan Evans early in the second half that all but dashed any hopes of the Mountaineers mounting a comeback.
