FTC DATA STANDARD
Trust the number before you tell the story.
Every FTC chart should show what was measured, when it was updated, who qualifies, where the data came from and what the number cannot prove.
The Stats Room is live through ESPN · Through Week 6 · Oct 11, 2026; the current football snapshot was synced October 11, 2026.
The 2026 Stats Room publishes BYU team and player production alongside Big 12 and NCAA/FBS comparisons when a verified comparison is available. Current football values are refreshed from connected stat feeds; individual rows identify their source and date, and a dash means no comparable or verified value is available.
Latest football snapshot source note
ESPN current football roster and season statistics · 119 players · 88 stat rows · Big 12 averages synced across 16 teams. Rankings remain on the Ranking Room page.
01 · SOURCE HIERARCHY
Official first. Calculated second. Explained always.
Trusted score providers
A secondary source may confirm corrections, timestamps and missing fields. Conflicts are held until the official record is clear.
Derived measures
Percentiles, composites and analytical summaries must publish their formula, comparison universe and missing-data rule.
02 · DEFINITIONS
Plain-language definitions for advanced metrics.
Top-percentage indicator
The public Stats Room converts a percentile score into a simpler “Top X%” label: 80th percentile becomes Top 20%, and 99th percentile becomes Top 1%. The underlying score is the percentage of qualified teams or players at or below the result; it is not the same as rank.
EPA per play
Expected Points Added estimates how much a play changes the expected scoring value of a possession. FTC will identify the provider, model version, game-state treatment and whether garbage time is excluded.
Effective field-goal percentage
A shooting percentage that gives three-pointers extra credit because they are worth more than two-pointers: (field goals made + 0.5 × three-pointers made) ÷ attempts.
FTC composite
A blended view of available national computer rankings. The Ranking Room must show included models, weights, missing-source treatment, date and range before the composite is considered publishable.
Opponent adjustment
An estimate of performance after accounting for the quality of opponents faced. Raw production belongs in Stats; opponent-adjusted interpretation belongs in Rankings and must name the model.
03 · ANALYSIS STANDARDS
How FTC keeps an insight from becoming an overclaim.
Say what happened.
Lead with the measured value, comparison group and time period.
Explain what it suggests.
Separate evidence from inference and name plausible alternative explanations.
Show confidence.
Flag small samples, volatile metrics, missing opponents and model disagreement.
Make it actionable.
Give broadcasters a clean line, reporters a question and players a film-room cue.
