Processing the Numbers, Football Edition | Introducing Some New Metrics

Your regularly scheduled advanced stats preview comes later this week, but first, we need to talk about some big changes in the college football analytics world.

All other statistics are courtesy of Football Outsiders, home of the F/+ Combined Ratings for college football.
The Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) was created by Brian Fremeau; check out his website BCFToys for other goodies.
The S&P+ rating was created by Bill Connelly; check out his college football analytics blog, Football Study Hall.

We are just under a week out now, which means all your favorite football-related columns at RBR will be returning over the next couple of weeks.
