The team stats show how well each team moves the ball and stops it, play by play, adjusted for opponents.
How it works
Most columns are built on expected points added (EPA): how much a play changed the points a team could expect to score on that drive, given down, distance and field position. A 10-yard gain on 3rd-and-5 is worth more than one on 3rd-and-15. For a defense, lower is better.
Success rate is the share of plays that keep an offense on schedule (college: at least half the yards needed on 1st down, 70% on 2nd, all on 3rd and 4th; NFL: any play with positive EPA). Explosiveness measures the big plays.
Adjusted numbers account for opponents: CollegeFootballData's opponent-adjusted EPA in college; in the NFL, each team's number corrected by how good its opponents were in their other games. Garbage time (a fourth quarter already decided) is left out of the NFL rates and college's unadjusted numbers.
Shading shows a team's national percentile, even with a conference filter on.
Keep in mind
Early in the season the sample is a few games, and one blowout can skew it.
When it updates
College stats refresh every 12 hours; NFL stats four times a day, around 5:30 and 11:30 AM and PM Eastern, once the play-by-play is published.
