I'm compiling lists of school leaderboards at the most notable stats. So far it's mostly SEC schools
Arkansas
Auburn
Florida
LSU
Mississippi State
Ole Miss
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt

But not entirely:
Baylor
Kansas State
Michigan State
South Florida
Texas Tech
West Virginia

I would like to eventually have all 129 FBS schools have pages like this up there, but that's going to take a very long time to compile. I have built an Excel spreadsheet to convert tables of the stats leaders into Wikipedia code to make the tables, so there's some time saved there (although it still takes some time to make sure all the links point to the correct person).

If anyone would like to pitch in in the actual compiling of the leaders from the schools' media guides, I have been working from a public Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

Right now I've been focusing on major conferences, but I would like to add the MAC and other G5 programs as well. If anyone wants to help gather the leaders, it would be greatly appreciated, and the whole world would get to have one of these references for your favorite team. Compiling a single school can be done in about 15-20 minutes, so if lots of people pitch in, the whole project could be done and up on Wikipedia in a few days -- someone from another board put Michigan State and USF on there, and it looks like he's started on the Michigan MAC schools too.

Either way, I hope you enjoy having these resources. I'm primarily a Mississippi State fan, and I've already been referring back to the MSU page several times since the season started to check progress of current players.
I'm assuming someone from here uploaded the stats for Buffalo. It's now up on Wikipedia.
