Top-rated players from last season, ranked within their position across D1. A grade measures what a player produced, and no 2026 game has been played yet — so this is who produced for these programs in 2025, not a claim about who is on the field this year.

New Hampshire Wildcats -10.9 -2.0 -8.8 #308

Def is higher = better. The projection assumes a 2.4-pt home edge (0 at neutral sites).

Where the number comes from
Elon offense vs New Hampshire defense+3.9 pts
New Hampshire offense vs Elon defense-7.0 pts
Efficiency adjustment · EPA, success rate, explosiveness-4.0 pts
Power projection before adjustment-8.6
Travel · context onlyAway team travels 665 mi

The projection carries an efficiency adjustment — a residual from season-to-date EPA, success rate and explosiveness, which earned its place by walk-forward test (margin error 12.90 → 12.72 across seven held-out seasons).

Situational spots are shown for context, not baked in: travel, altitude and rest were tested against 6,000+ games and the power and efficiency ratings already account for them. Adding them again would double-count.
