Season-to-date EPA efficiency

Compare published team efficiency. Higher net ratings indicate better per-play performance on this rating scale.

This board is opponent-adjusted EPA, not the SRS research lane. Explore the SRS walk-forward narrative.

2026 season · through CFBD Week 2, entering Week 3. EPA basis: opponent adjusted ridge. Net is adjusted EPA minus adjusted EPA allowed; EPA means expected points added.

137 teams have ratings from eligible FBS-vs-FBS plays. Teams without eligible data are omitted. These are descriptive efficiency estimates, not matchup predictions. Early-season schedules are sparse and may form disconnected opponent groups. Ridge regression shrinks team effects toward the shared baseline; it includes no preseason strength priors. Rankings can move sharply as more games connect the schedule.
