This is the final week of the season in which preseason projected data is a factor in the FEI ratings. Beginning next week, only results in the 2018 season will be part of the FEI team calculations, and I'll also debut the opponent-adjusted offense (OFEI) and opponent-adjusted defense (DFEI) ratings, plus my special teams (STE) ratings. I've made some changes again this year to the way in which those ratings are calculated, and some of those changes are a result of how the raw unit values, unadjusted by the the strength of the opponent, are calculated.
To dig in on those raw unit value changes, we'll take a closer look this week at FEI Game Splits, the unit components of scoring margin in victory or defeat.
