Solid stats fam. I too am a numbers guy. 
I think a few of your numbers are off under the parameters, though (ex: UK-UGA game YPP numbers and UGA opp YPP below season average numbers). Even though the corrections diminish my point.
Kentucky ran 69 plays for 243 yards (3.52 YPP) vs Georgia.
If we eliminate UGA and FCS opponents, Kentucky is averaging 6.78 YPP (312 plays; 2,115 yards).
6.78 - 3.52 = 3.26
Still on a solid track. I didn't check the others out, but alas... granular.
CFBStats or TeamRankings may be tripping you up in this instance. Not sure which is your go-to if you scrape.

UGA is actually holding opponents to an avg of 2.47ypp below their opponents' season avg when you eliminate the UGA game and FCS opponents from each stat line. The best they've posted is a 4.32ypp difference against Kentucky.

I typically use CFBstats for all the numbers since you can easily sort by FBS opponents, AP ranked, etc... and they provide situational stats too. I didn't find too many other inaccuracies (a few yards off for two other teams) after cross referencing with NCAA/ESPN. For some reason my formula was off for UGA giving them an additional 0.10ypp advantage. After adjusting it, the 2016 Bama team and 2021 UGA team have a nearly identical ypp yield with the exception of 2016 Bama did this for 14 FBS games and 2021 UGA has only played 7 so far.
