Good number. This shows a talented team that it is not clutch and/or has had bad coaching.

This is really good content. The correlation on this stat to national championships is very interesting.
Do you know if there is an opponent adjusted version of Net YPP that is out there?
Eta: this may be opponent adjusted:

Did you do this by hand, or is there a website that can calculate it for you? Asking because I would like to compare Auburn’s and MSU’s NYPP over the last 4 games — i.e., State’s number for the whole season isn’t particularly relevant as to what they are capable of right now.
Posted on 11/13/26 at 9:35 am to koreandawg
Can you link the website where you got these stats?
Posted on 11/13/26 at 9:38 am to koreandawg
I am sure we would be dead last in this if only the numbers from the Mizzu game forward were calculated.

Interesting.
I was looking at a similar correlation the other day with PPP.
Key Takeaways (2006–2025):
- Championship Baseline vs. #1 Offense: NCs recorded a 0.588 mean PPP (0.595 median), trailing the #1 FBS PPP leader's 0.670 mean PPP (0.662 median) by an average gap of 0.082 PPP.
-Rare Double Winners: Only 3 teams in 20 seasons finished #1 in FBS PPP and won the NC in the same year—2008 Florida (0.699), 2013 Florida State (0.763), and 2020 Alabama (0.700).
-All-Time Single-Season Peak: 2013 Florida State (0.763 PPP) holds the highest mark for both a NC and a #1 overall offense over the past two decades.
-Defense-First Champions: Early BCS and early CFP champions frequently won with sub-0.525 offensive PPP, led by 2006 Florida (0.475), 2009 Alabama (0.475), 2016 Clemson (0.482), and 2015 Alabama (0.484).
-Modern CFP Consistency (2018–2025): Every NC since 2018 has cleared 0.575 PPP
Current teams above the .575 PPP threshold:
Current SEC PPP ranking:
-Tempo vs. Efficiency: Georgia (61.8 plays/game) and Alabama (61.6 plays/game) run the two slowest offensive tempos in the SEC, yet they easily lead the conference in scoring per snap (most certainly aided by defensive scoring, turnover margin, field position and STs, as those can't be removed from consideration). Conversely, LSU leads the SEC and ranks 1st nationally in snap volume at 79.6 plays/game (37.1 PPG), placing 8th in the conference and 49th nationally in per-play efficiency (0.466 PPP).
Note: All data pulled from Google Gemini prompts and derived from Sports Reference full-season team offense averages (including all bowl and CFP games) across full-season FBS programs.

FEI (Opponent-Adjusted Efficiency)from bcftoys has a much stronger link than the raw net yard per play numbers.
Every eventual champion since 2007 (when they started keeping the stat) has ranked in the Top 3 with the only exceptions being 2016 Clemson and 2010 Auburn who both were ranked #5 in FEI !
The current Top 5 are:
1. Notre Dame
2. Georgia
3. Miami
4. Alabama
5. LSU

Or that has new coaches and starters at nearly every position.
