The first NCAA FBS top 25 for the 2016 season using the
Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using the data from
www.cfbstats.com is here. While it is very early in the process, below is a list of the most productive teams according to the model. While there are some teams that we expect to be there (Ohio State and Alabama) there are also a number of teams that we would not expect to be there as well. As the season progresses, the model will converge to the true estimates for on field activities for the season, and we should expect the most productive teams to be somewhat different than what we have now.
