The statistical outliers are beginning to look like... outliers. That means the Dominance Ranking is becoming useful; it's not all the way there yet, but for its burgeoning worth, here are the most dominant teams in the nation, as ordered by the sum their national ranks in scoring offense and scoring defense.

Your eyes do not deceive you: Rutgers, Purdue, and Bowling Green are soundly amid the top 25; this is not likely to continue, as the season progresses. Those who are not paying attention may scoff at Temple's high rank, but that serves to show who is (and who is not) paying attention. Teams 26 to 120 below the jump.
