I have acquired the complete film library for the 2024 seasons of each of the 12 teams selected for the College Football Playoff. I’ve already charted four of those teams from the Big Ten — Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State — and will move on to Tennessee and other teams on Oregon’s side of the bracket during the remainder of the month.
Prior to charting, I’ve compiled the complete play-by-play of these teams’ seasons and performed logical tests and spot checks against film to correct the records and eliminate garbage time. While these compilations aren’t quite perfect yet (in my experience there’ll still be about 1% of plays that require further correction which can only be caught once I’ve watched the tape), they can provide an acceptable rough estimate of fundamental per-play strength using standard metrics.
