Welcome to Simplified Football. Our objective is to provide objective ratings for college football, starting with the 2013 ACC.
How the ratings work: take the recruiting star rating for every starting player and average them for the talent component, then add years in college and years as a starter for each player to reach the final rating. The lowest possible is 2.0 and the highest 6.5.
