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.
Power breakdown
Def is higher = better. The projection assumes a 2.4-pt home edge (0 at neutral sites).
Where the number comes from
North Alabama offense vs Central Arkansas defense+2.3 pts
Central Arkansas offense vs North Alabama defense+5.5 pts
Efficiency adjustment · EPA, success rate, explosiveness-0.3 pts
Power projection before adjustment+6.2

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).
