Heaviest teams in college football by position

A reader asked for weight by position after my post on weight by team, so here it is. Before we get into the table, a few caveats. First, my data has the positions for players reported by teams. Not all teams report positions the same way. I've tried to standardize it in a way that makes sense, but I cannot guarantee that it is foolproof. Second, this is the average weight from the roster, not from starters or letterman. So, if a team has a Rudy, he can misleadingly bring down the average. Third, this is data from 2011. When I get my hands on the 2012 rosters I'll publish an update, but today is not that day. Fourth, these are the weights reported by the teams. I assume I don't need to say anymore about that. That being said, here we go:

The academies are pretty light across the board, but especially on the lines. At 241 lbs, Alabama's linebackers are heavier than Army's defensive lineman and only 10 lbs lighter than Air Force's offensive and defensive lineman. When we control for position, Arkansas emerges as the poundage champion. Only the receivers in Arkansas are small. It is little surprise that Wisconsin has some hefty O-lineman, but Ole Miss edges out the Badgers with a slew of 300+lb lineman themselves. And I consider it further evidence that the glory days in Nebraska are over when the excess weight in Lincoln is not from cornfed lineman but larger than average DBs and receivers. 

Mass is positively (but not all that strongly) correlated with performance for every position but QB. The strongest correlation is for defensive lineman, followed by linebackers and wide receivers.
