.611 – Winning percentage of visiting teams in Pac-12 road games (33-21) this season. The four teams ranked in last week’s Associated Press Top 25 (Oregon, UCLA, Arizona State, Arizona) have a combined overall road record of 19-3 (.864).
5 -- Single-game rushing performances Georgia Southern has placed in the Top 30 all-time at the FBS level this season alone. Those are No. 2 (613, vs. Georgia State), No. 3 (564, vs. Savannah State), No. 21 (421, vs. Troy), T-No. 22 (419, vs. New Mexico State) and No. 30 (408, Appalachian State).
5 -- Times during their 124 meetings Minnesota and Wisconsin have faced each other when both teams are ranked (1954, 1962, 1999, 2005, 2014).
6 -- Consecutive losses to end the regular season for Kentucky after it began the season 5-1, leaving the Wildcats one win shy of bowl-eligibility. UK was also 0-4 after the announcement of a contract extension for head coach Mark Stoops.
6-0 -- UCF’s home record in 2014, its first perfect season at home since 2001.

7 -- More wins Western Michigan and Air Force have in 2014 (8-4 and 9-3, respectively) than they did in 2013 (1-11 and 2-10, respectively), the biggest turnarounds this season. TCU (4-8 last year, 10-1 this year) could reach that mark with a win in Week 15, while Memphis (9-3 in 2014, 3-9 in 2013) could do it in a bowl game.
12 -- Bowl-eligible teams for the SEC, a conference record. The only teams from the 14-team league that failed to qualify for the postseason were Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
12 -- Consecutive games in which Jake Waters has thrown for 200 yards or more, the longest such streak during Bill Snyder‘s tenure at Kansas State.
12 -- Points scored by Northern Illinois off of Western Michigan’s six turnovers in NIU’s 31-21 win Friday.
13 -- Consecutive games in which TCU has scored 30 or more points, the longest such streak at the FBS level.

15 -- Combined touchdown passes for Marshall and Western Kentucky in Friday’s 67-66 game; Army has thrown 15 touchdown passes the last four seasons combined.

16 -- Consecutive seasons Boise State has won eight or more games, the longest such streak in the country. The Broncos went 6-5 in 1998 prior to starting their streak.
17 -- Interceptions this season for Florida State’s Jameis Winston in 392 attempts, the most for any Power Five quarterback. During his Heisman-winning 2013 season, Winston threw 10 interceptions in 384 attempts.
18 -- Players in FBS history to run for 2,000-plus yards in the season, with Indiana’s Tevin Coleman becoming the most recent. Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon had already surpassed that mark earlier this season.
19-4 -- Kansas State’s record vs. Kansas under Bill Snyder, including a 19-1 record since 1993. Prior to Snyder’s arrival, KU held a 59-23-5 advantage on K-State in the in-state rivalry.
23 -- College GameDay appearances, home, road and neutral sites, for Alabama since Nick Saban took over as head coach in 2007, the most of any other team. Oregon is next with 18 in that span, followed by LSU (16), Ohio State (13), and Oklahoma and Florida (12 each).
25 -- Point deficit Rutgers overcame in 41-38 win over Maryland, the largest comeback in school history. The previous largest was 24 against Vanderbilt in 2004.

40 -- Consecutive games Texas Tech has totaled at least 325 yards of total offense, the longest such streak in the country.
42 -- Yards on a second-quarter completion by Navy’s Keenan Reynolds in a win over South Alabama, his only completion in four attempts in a game that helped the service academy become bowl-eligible.
43 -- Years since Memphis won a conference title before clinching at least a share of the AAC in Week 14.
45 -- Touchdowns responsible for in 2014 (34 passing, 11 rushing) for Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, breaking the Big Ten record of 42 set by Purdue’s Drew Brees in 1998 (39 passing, three rushing).
95 -- Non-offensive touchdowns for Kansas State since 1999, the most of any FBS team in that span.
100 -- Graduation rate percentage for Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame and Stanford football for the most recent academic year, the only FBS programs that can make that claim.
124 -- Including Saturday, games played in the Minnesota-Wisconsin series, the most-played rivalry at the FBS level. It’s also the longest-running, consecutively-played rivalry at 108 straight; Clemson-South Carolina at 106 straight is the second-longest.

381 -- After replacing the injured Reggie Bonnafon, career-high passing yards for Louisville freshman Kyle Bolin in the 44-40 win over Kentucky. Bolin, who entered the 2014 season as the Cardinals’ No. 3 quarterback, entered Saturday’s game with 35 career passing yards.
456 -- Passing yards for Auburn’s Nick Marshall in the Iron Bowl loss to Alabama, his first career 400-yard passing game. In fact, it was just his second career 300-yard passing game, with the first (339) coming Sept. 14 of last year vs. Mississippi State.
469 -- Rushing yards for Arkansas State in its 68-35 rout of New Mexico State. Three different Red Wolves players rushed for 100-plus yards: quarterback Fredi Knighten (153) and running backs Michael Gordon (143) and Johnston White (110). Knighten and Gordon combined for eight touchdowns as well, two passing and two rushing for the former and three rushing and one receiving for the latter.
598 -- Passing yards for Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes in the two-point loss to Baylor, setting a Big 12 freshman record.

It was also the fourth-highest single-game total in Red Raider history.

1,773 -- Yards passing for Washington State’s Luke Falk in the four games since Connor Halliday went down with a season-ending injury. That’s more than nine FBS teams had in 12 games this season, and nearly more than a 10th (Wisconsin, 1,774).
1933-35 -- Last time a Big Ten team (Minnesota) went three straight years without a regular-season loss in conference play prior to Ohio State pulling that trick in 2012-14. The Buckeyes are also the first team ever to produce no ties or losses in conference contests over a three-year period in Big Ten history.
1940s -- Last decade in which Indiana had a winning record over Purdue in the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket (7-3). With Saturday’s win, the Hoosiers now have a 3-2 record in the rivalry game in the 2010s.
1968 -- Prior to CBS airing it Saturday, the last year the Mississippi State-Ole Miss Egg Bowl was aired on a broadcast network, with that network being NBC.
1983 -- Last season LSU played on Thanksgiving Day prior to Thursday’s win over Texas A&M. The Tigers have played on Turkey Day a total of 26 times in their history, the first coming in 1899.

2,260 -- Rushing yards in 2014 for Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, surpassing the Big Ten single-season record of 2,109 of former UW running back Ron Dayne in 1996. Gordon’s total currently stands fourth-best in FBS history, behind only Oklahoma State’s Barry Sanders (2,628 in 1988), UCF’s Kevin Smith (2,567 in 2007) and USC’s Marcus Allen (2,342 in 1981).
3,387 -- Career rushing yards for Miami’s Duke Johnson, breaking the school record of 3,331 yards set by Ottis Anderson.
