Summary

This scoring view is especially useful when two offenses pile up similar yardage totals but only one consistently turns those drives into points, which is why the historical average can differ from the latest season leader.

Points Per Game pages track college football teams using a shared leaderboard template with season winners, all-time context, and trend lines across 2004 through 2025.

Oregon leads the all-time average leaderboard at 38.2, making the history page materially different from any single-season leaderboard.

Oregon owns the strongest average across 22 seasons at 38.2, while North Texas anchors the recent year-by-year trend view.

Oregon currently headlines this route, while North Texas supplies the most recent yearly-winner checkpoint in 2025, giving the page both snapshot and trend context.
