FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
SUBDIVISION RECORDS
Individual Records 2
INDIVIDUAL RECORDSUnder a three-division reorganization plan adopt-ed by the special NCAA Convention of August 1973, teams classified major-college in football on August 1, 1973, were placed in Division I. College-division teams were divided into Division II and Division III. At the NCAA Convention of January 1978, Division I was divided into Division I-A and Division I-AA for football only. (In 2006, I-A was renamed Football Bowl Subdivision, and I-AA was renamed Football Championship Subdivision.) Beginning in 1979, passers were rated in all divi-sions on “pass efficiency rating points,” which are derived from a formula that compares passers with the national averages for 14 seasons of two-platoon Division I football starting with the 1965 season. One hundred points equals the 14-year averages for all players in Division I. Those aver-ages break down to 6.29 yards per attempt, 47.14 percent completions, 3.97 percent touchdown passes and 6.54 percent interceptions. The for-mula assumes that touchdowns are as good as interceptions are bad; therefore, these two figures offset each other for the average player. To deter-mine efficiency rating points, multiply a passer’s yards per attempt by 8.4, add his completion percentage, add his touchdown percentage times 3.3, then subtract his interception percentage times two.Passers must have a minimum of 15 attempts per game to determine rating points because fewer attempts could allow a player to win the
championship with fewer than 100 attempts in a season. A passer must play in at least 75 percent of his team’s games to qualify for the rankings (for example, a player on a team with a nine-game season could qualify by playing in seven games); thus, a passer with 105 attempts could qualify for the national rankings.In 2000, defensive stats became a part of the sta-tistics. Individual and team records and rankings included only regular-season games through the 2001 season. Career records of players include only those years in which they competed in FCS.
Collegiate RecordsIndividual and team collegiate records are deter-mined by comparing the best records in all four divisions (FBS, FCS, II and III) in comparable categories. Included are career records of play-ers who played parts of their careers in different divisions (such as Dennis Shaw of San Diego State, Howard Stevens of Randolph-Macon and Louisville, and Doug Williams of Grambling). For individual collegiate career leaders and team records, see the collegiate section.
NCAA Defensive Football Statistics Compilation PoliciesAll individual defensive statistics reported to the NCAA must be compiled by the press box sta-tistics crew during the game. Defensive numbers compiled by the coaching staff or other university/
college personnel using game film will not be con-sidered “official” NCAA statistics.This policy does not preclude a conference or institution from making after-the-game changes to press box numbers. This is consistent with exist-ing NCAA policies involving corrections to any offensive statistics after a contest. Any changes to press box numbers must be obvious errors, such as misidentified players, and this should not be interpreted as a way for press box statistics to be later “updated” by the coaching films. Changes should be made within one week after the game is played. Statisticians also are reminded that NCAA policy does not permit changes to away-game statistics unless approved by the home sports information director.It is important to note that this policy applies ONLY to official NCAA statistics and national rankings, and does not mean a coaching staff cannot com-pile separate defensive statistics for institutional use. Those compilations also could appear in the institution’s press releases and/or Web site, as long as they are identified as coaching film numbers rather than official statistics as used by the NCAA.The NCAA statistics staff reserves the right to review any statistics provided to the national office and may withhold publishing/posting those num-bers until the accuracy of those statistics can be substantiated.

BLOCKED KICKS RECORDSSpecial Note About Blocked-Kick Records:The blocked-kick records include players from the beginning of FCS play in 1978.Even though the other defensive statistics and records began in 2000, blocked-kick records are compiled by most institutions, and those records are more reliable than tackles, assists, tackles for loss, pass sacks, passes defended and forced fumbles.

Legend: Turf—Any of several types of artificial turfs (name brands include AstroTurf, FieldTurf, All-Pro, Omni-Turf, SuperTurf, Sprinturf, etc.); Grass—Natural grass surface; PAT—Prescription Athletic Turf (a “natural-artificial” surface featuring a network of pipes connected to pumps capable of sucking water from the natural turf or watering it. The pipes are located 18 inches from the surface and covered with a mixture of sand and filler. The turf also is lined with heating coils to keep it from freezing in temperatures below 32 degrees).
