If high-scoring offenses provide peak entertainment for college football, we're living in the greatest era of the sport.
Never before has the Football Bowl Subdivision featured more scoring.
In 2016, the 128 teams set a record with 30.04 combined points per game. The 130-team FBS has collectively averaged 28.78 and 29.59 points in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Looking even further back, the FBS crested the 26-point barrier for the first time in 2000. Since then, it only dipped below the mark in 2006 and has surpassed 28 points in 10 of the last 12 years.
