Several teams wrapped up their non-conference schedules this past week, including the entire Big Ten. The B1G used the week to propel themselves to the top of my list, but the ACC has one last chance to leapfrog.

Stat Freaks was a section in the weekly D1 Rundown. But “Freaks” has turned into one of the more popular features, so we broke it out into its own post. Stat Freaks is all about capturing any individual player in any D1 game who really made a significant effort when it comes to the numbers.
