Re: NCAA Football Week 11

The NCAA formula is {(8.4*yards) + (330*TDs) - (200*INTs) + (100*COMPs)}/ATTs, so the max possible rating would be 1261.6 if you completed 100% of your passes, getting a touchdown every time, and averaging 99 yards per attempt.
The NFL forumla is similar, in that it is based on the same four stats, but the scalars are different, and each stat is capped so that after you hit a certain point (77.5% completions, 12.5 yards per attempt, 8.42 attempts per touchdown, and zero interceptions) doing better in that stat no longer ups the rating, which results in an artificial cap of 158.3. If it weren't for the cap, NFL rating would max out at 831.25.

TY. My next question would be how does the overlaid scale work in college, as compared to the NFL? As a rough estimate, you can sort of take NFL QBR like a grade, where 90% is pretty solid, 100% is excellent, 80% is ok, 70% is bad, and so on. I imagine that in college, the good QBs are consistently putting up over 100, right? I mean, Tebow is averaging like 175 and while his stats are pretty good, they arent like jaw-dropping for a college QB. Is it standard from year to year to have a whole bunch of QBs average 100+?
