College Football

Red zone efficiency for 138 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.

How it works

4% in the NFL. College scores more once it gets there.

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.
