Season leaders, every stat →Oklahoma) 84 rec yds · week grade 96 · Jacob Harris (Wisconsin) 105 rec yds · week grade 94One winner at quarterback, running back, receiver and tight end, from every game between two FBS teams. Each pick is weighted by what the plays were worth (EPA), touchdowns, yards and how much of the offense ran through him. Every card names the two who came closest.
Offense only for now: the college box scores we keep for defenders are season totals, not game by game, so there is no honest defensive pick for a single week yet. Season totals for defenders are on the college leaderboards.
