Definition

Predicted Points Added (PPA) estimates scoring value created or allowed on each play. FantasyHQ’s 2011 PPA leaderboard averages offense and defense PPA across games so you can compare team efficiency beyond raw yards and points.

How to use

  1. Pick a season, then choose SP+, EPA, or PPA.
  2. Filter a conference when you want a league-only board.
  3. Read offense vs defense splits — then open a team page or box score.

vs ESPN FPI & polls

ESPN FPI is a proprietary power index. FantasyHQ publishes free SP+, EPA, and PPA boards you can cross-check with FPI. For voter/committee ranks, use CFB Rankings (AP Top 25 / CFP) — not this page.

Frequently asked questions

What are 2011 CFB power rankings on FantasyHQ?

FantasyHQ CFB power rankings use SP+ (and EPA / PPA boards) to rank teams by efficiency, not just record. Open https://fantasyhq.co/cfb-analytics/leaderboards for the 2011 table with offense, defense, and special teams splits.

What is SP+ in college football?

SP+ is an opponent-adjusted rating from Bill Connelly that estimates how many points better (or worse) a team is than average. Higher overall and offensive SP+ is better; lower defensive SP+ is better.

How is this different from ESPN FPI?

ESPN FPI is ESPN’s proprietary Football Power Index. FantasyHQ publishes SP+, EPA per play, and PPA boards from CFBD and play-by-play data — a free efficiency view you can cross-check with FPI, the AP Top 25, and CFP rankings. We do not claim to reproduce ESPN FPI.

What is the difference between SP+, EPA, and PPA?

SP+ is a season-long opponent-adjusted team rating. EPA measures expected points added per play from FantasyHQ play-by-play. PPA (predicted points added) averages game-level efficiency from CollegeFootballData. Switch metrics on the leaderboards page to compare the same season three ways.

Is this the same as AP Top 25 or CFB rankings?

No. AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings live on FantasyHQ’s CFB Rankings board at https://fantasyhq.co/cfb-hq/rankings. Leaderboards here are analytics power boards (SP+ / EPA / PPA), not voter or committee polls.

Are FantasyHQ CFB analytics leaderboards free?

Yes. SP+, EPA, and PPA team leaderboards, box scores, standings, and schedule tools are free to use in the browser.
