2013 FEI RATINGS, FIELD POSITION

through games of 1/6/2014

The Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) and its component metrics are generated from each of the nearly 20,000 FBS possessions played every season. The field position data on this page is a function of all possessions in 2013 FBS vs. FBS games, excluding first-half clock-kills and end-of-game garbage drives and scores.

FPA: Field Position Advantage, the share of the value of total starting field position earned by each team against its opponents.
SFP: Starting Field Position, average distance in yards from end zone on offensive non-garbage possessions.
Opp SFP: Opponent Starting Field Position, average distance in yards from end zone on opponent offensive non-garbage possessions.
SFP Del: Starting Field Position Delta, the difference between offensive starting field position and opponent offensive starting field position.
ShF: Short Field Drives, the percentage of offensive possessions started at midfield or on the opponent's side of the field.
Opp ShF: Opponent Short Field Drives, the percentage of opponent offensive possessions started at midfield or on the team's side of the field.
LoF: Long Field Drives, the percentage of offensive possessions started inside the team's own 20-yard line.
Opp LoF: Opponent Long Field Drives, the percentage of opponent offensive possessions started inside the opponent's own 20-yard line.

Overall FEI ratings and splits for Offense, Defense, Special Teams and Field Position can be found using the drop-down menus provided above. Program FEI (five-year weighted) ratings and other supplemental drive-based data can be found here.
