How this ranking is measured
These 25 are drawn from 138 FBS teams ranked in the 2026 regular season. Fumble recoveries count opponent fumbles lost to the defense; a team recovering its own fumble is not counted. Only FBS teams are ranked. Figures are as of October 29, 2026 & are recalculated on StatRankings after each game's play-by-play is processed.
