College Football

Red zone efficiency for 166 college teams, 2026, computed the same way as the NFL side: inside the opponent's 20, trips counted per drive rather than per play, and a drive counted as converted if any red-zone snap on it reached the end zone. League average is 63.4%, against 56.4% in the NFL. College scores more once it gets there.

Early season. The median team has played about 64 snaps so far, so these are small samples and a team at the top of the table has had a good fortnight rather than a good year. The floor for inclusion scales with how much has been played, which is why the table fills out as the season goes.

Play-by-play from cfbfastR, via the sportsdataverse data releases. There is no fantasy projection here yet: college rosters turn over far faster than the NFL’s and the volume model that drives the professional side has not been refitted for that, so publishing one would be guessing with a straight face.
