Nice Find: CFBStats.com – Hard to Find College Football Stats
January 8, 2011 Leave a Comment
If you’re a die hard NCAA fan or if you have a keen eye for the NFL Draft, you may have noticed the lack of statistics websites dedicated to the college game. For sites that have good offensive statistics (ESPN, for example) defensive statistics are non-existant. The NCAA.com stat charts are difficult to navigate and are user un-friendly when you can finally find them.
The other day when working on my first NFL Draft lead-up, I came across a site I wish I found years ago: cfbstats.com.
The sheer amount of statistical analysis that can be done using cfbstats.com is exhaustive. I’m sure I haven’t even scratched the surface yet. So, you’re a Cincinatti fan and want to take a closer look at backup QB Chazz Anderson’s stats. You can find that he’s averaging 13.3 yards rushing per game or that he’s just 2-6 for 12 yards in the Red Zone; useless stats for many, but entirely important to others. The game logs and situational stats are a must for any writter, blogger or any bar bet.
Considering the dearth of quality stat websites, cfbstats.com amazes me. Honestly, I would love to know how the site’s author compiles all the information, but I’m sure that’s a trade secret they would rather keep quiet. Take a few minutes to go peruse the site and definitely bookmark it for next season when you need some stat help.
