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.

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

Where the number comes from
Weber State offense vs Cal Poly defense+6.5 pts
Cal Poly offense vs Weber State defense+8.2 pts
Efficiency adjustment · EPA, success rate, explosiveness+0.8 pts
Power projection before adjustment+4.6
Travel · context onlyAway team travels 624 mi
Altitude · context only1,366 m lower than the visitor's home elevation

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.
