We have reached the midpoint of the 2015 season, the week in which all preseason projected data is removed from the FEI calculations and I begin to publish my full offensive, defensive, special teams, and field position ratings here at Football Outsiders. Opponent adjustments aren't based in part on five years of program power and recruiting success anymore. Every team is now evaluated on its 2015 efficiency results alone.
I have received a lot of feedback over the years that it is difficult to decipher the meaning of some of these stats I maintain and post each week.
