College football’s top offenses are separating from the pack, and PFSN’s Offense Impact Metric (OFFi) shows exactly which units are driving playoff-caliber production. OFFi evaluates how efficiently each team creates value per play, weighing explosive plays, situational success, and consistency. With championship races tightening in November, even small jumps in OFFi can dramatically shift the national picture.
10) USC Trojans
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 88.3 (B+)
The USC Trojans are in the thick of the playoff race, thanks to an elite offense with weapons everywhere. USC Wide Receiver Makai Lemon ranks second in our WRi rankings and is No. 11 (No. 3 for WR) on our 2026 NFL Draft Big Board. Lemon is a threat any time he touches the ball and has been consistently one of the top target getters this season, while also turning those targets into production.
According to TruMedia, Lemon ranks third with 104.1 receiving yards per game and No. 17 with 80 targets in 2025. Throwing him the ball is quarterback Jayden Maiava, who ranks third in EPA (expected points added) per drop-back this season. Arguably, Maiava’s best strength has been his ability to evade sacks. He ranks second in the FBS in the least amount of EPA lost to sacks and ranks No. 10 in pressure-to-sack rate at an astounding 6.8%.
9) Texas A&M Aggies
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 88.7 (B+)
The Texas A&M Aggies continue to chug along in preparation for a tough end to the season. With a game against Texas and a potential SEC championship looming, their performance against a stout Missouri defense was promising. They got in, got the job done, and got out. Marcel Reed was remarkably efficient, completing over 68% of his passes for 221 yards, two scores, zero interceptions, and just one sack.
8) Ohio State Buckeyes
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 89.4 (B+)
Yet another juggernaut in this week’s rankings is the Ohio State Buckeyes. As mentioned previously, Ohio State still ranks first in longest seconds per play in FBS, showing they have been controlling and milking teams offensively while letting their defense put these games out of reach. Julian Sayin has reached the peak of his hype, with many people claiming he should win the Heisman.
While he has absolutely looked the part with his incredible accuracy and gaudy numbers, it isn’t easy to separate his talent from the team when the Buckeyes have yet to be tested. Guys like Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate make defensive backs look silly daily, so it’s difficult to tell what’s what. Either way, Ohio State’s offense is rolling.
7) Toledo Rockets
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 90.5 (A-)
The Toledo Rockets curb-stomped Northern Illinois 42-3 to earn themselves a spot on the Week 11 rankings. The Rockets finished with six touchdowns and four punts, throwing for over 300 yards at 9.4 yards per attempt. Northern Illinois ranks No. 102 out of 136 teams in our DEFi metrics, so it’s no surprise that an otherwise average offense (No. 82 of 136) was able to dominate in this capacity.
6) Georgia Bulldogs
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 90.9 (A-)
For the third time this season, the Bulldogs find themselves ranked in the top five offensively. At their worst, they ranked No. 71 with a C-, showing that even a bad game for this offense would be about average for most teams.
5) Kentucky Wildcats
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 90.9 (A-)
Lately, it feels like a Kentucky Wildcats appearance on a top offensive rankings list would surprise most fans. After all, the Wildcats are bottom feeders in the SEC and are just 4-5 on the season. The reality is that both of these units have performed above average this season, despite their record. They rank No. 42 offensively and No. 33 defensively, but have not been able to put it together in the same week often enough to string together some wins.
Overall, Kentucky has actually had one of the better offenses since 2019. They have 12 Top-10 finishes and 20 Top-25 finishes, ranking No. 16 and No. 21 out of 136 FBS teams, respectively. If Kentucky could find a way to be cohesive and play well at the same time on both sides of the ball, we could be looking at the next Vanderbilt-like story.
4) Vanderbilt Commodores
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 91.5 (A-)
Speaking of Vanderbilt, the Commodores rank fourth on this week’s rankings after a comeback victory over the Auburn Tigers. After going down 17-3 in the first quarter and 20-10 at the half, Vanderbilt’s offense willed them to victory. Vanderbilt scored on five of their seven second-half drives to win the game 45-38 in overtime.

Diego Pavia might have lost a step in the Heisman rankings, but he should still be in consideration for a finalist spot. Pavia finished with 377 yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also led the team in rushing with 18 carries for 112 yards and a score.
3) Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 91.6 (A-)
Antwan Raymond went scorched earth on the Maryland defense in Week 11. He finished with 240 rushing yards on 41 attempts (5.9 yards per carry) and a rushing touchdown. Since 2019, there have been just 12 players to have over 40 carries in a game. Raymond’s 5.9 yards per carry ranks second by just 0.1 yards, and his 13 first downs are tied for first among them.
2) Nebraska Cornhuskers
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 93.1 (A)
For a team that lost its starting quarterback to injury for the season, they sure didn’t skip a beat. TJ Lateef finished with a perfect passer rating after going 13 of 15 for 205 yards and three scores. About 65% (134 of 205) of his yards came from after the catch, which is a brilliant game plan for an inexperienced quarterback.
To put some context behind this number, Dylan Raiola ranks No. 25 out of 97 quarterbacks with over 200 attempts in the percentage of passing yards coming from after the catch at 54.3%. 65% would be first by a margin of slightly less than 2%. Hats off to the Cornhuskers for their effective game-planning.
1) Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Week 11 PFSN College OFFi Grade: 95.9 (A)
The number one team in the week’s rankings is the team that has gotten a lot of scrutiny because of the playoff rankings. One thing you can’t harp on them for is a lack of offensive fireworks. Jeremiyah Love ranks No. 34 among all players since 2019 in the number of 50+ yard runs in his career, and that doesn’t even include the unbelievable 48-yarder he broke off against Navy.

With CJ Carr continuing to show he’s one of the most promising and talented young quarterbacks in college football, it’s becoming harder and harder to stop the best running back room in America. Notre Dame has faced the 22nd-most plays with a loaded box (eight or more defenders), and ranks No. 34 in EPA per drop-back on those plays. If Carr can continue to punish defenses for selling out on the run, Notre Dame will be tough to beat.
