Special Teams Player
I've shared details on what I'm posting here and, from this point on, the only difference is games against lower division opponents will no longer be counted. There have been enough games played between FBS teams now. Eventually, I might share stats from games played only between P5 teams as well. I'm using cfbstats.com and footballperspective.com now for data and SOS rankings, respectively. The Congrove SOS numbers I had used were based on the whole season before the games had been played (so that was a mistake).
