I got real bored and did some searching. All I could find were season rushing leaders, not week-by-week.
The last time a team had the leading rusher in the NFL and their own conference (at the end of the season) was Florida in 1993: Emmitt Smith (Cowboys) led the NFL and Errict Rhett led the SEC in rushing.
The last time a PAC-10 team did it? USC indeed, but not who you'd think: Charles White (Rams) led the NFL and Steven Webster led the PAC-10 in 1987.
