| 2nd September, 2008 - 2:10 pm | Christopher Reina/RealGM - Similar to the Field Impact Counter I created for the NFL, I have a modified version I use for college football in order to take a completely objective statistical look at individual performances.
For quarterbacks it takes into account accuracy, completions, yards, and touchdowns while it also penalizes players for interceptions and taking sacks. It also gives value to quarterbacks who efficiently run the ball, something of obviously great importance in the college game.
Running backs who are workhorses are rewarded significantly, but also factored in are those who maintain high yard per carry averages.
Wide receivers are heavily rewarded for touchdowns and yards, but a significant amount of weight is also given to receptions.

57. Tim Tebow, Florida: 26
63. Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State: 25
- I was at Ohio Stadium for Pryor’s debut and was impressed with his open field moves although he clearly has freshman arm strength as a passer.
