is one win away from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016. How is Matt Rhule getting it done in Year 1? With a defense that’s quickly rising up the ranks as one of college football’s best in stop rate. What is stop rate? It’s a basic measurement of success: the percentage of a defense’s drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs.

If this team can stay on track, keep getting stops and take care of business, they’re well positioned to be a factor in the Big Ten West race as well with some big-time tests ahead. How are the rest of the defenses across the country performing in stop rate? Here are the full FBS-only stop rate standings entering Week 10.
