Passer rating

NFL passer rating combines completion rate, yards per attempt, touchdown rate and interception rate on a 0–158.3 scale. CFB passing efficiency uses the NCAA formula and is not capped or comparable to the NFL scale.

Formula: NFL: sum of four components capped to [0,2.375] / 6 × 100. NCAA: (8.4 × YDS + 330 × TD + 100 × CMP − 200 × INT) / ATT.
Qualifying minimum: CFB players: at least 15 ATT per game with recorded statistics.
