Plenty of intangibles are involved in weighing whether one college football team is better than another, but a review of stats before assessing two teams can correct things which were not obvious to you. To save you the time and effort, we’re providing you stat categories taken from the NCAA and other sources for your own head-to-head comparison. For any of the Charts beyond the Schedule Chart, expand to 100 to see all categories.
These are primarily offensive stats. Expect the Defensive Stats within the next day or so along with Offense to Defense comparisons.
