I pulled data for 1,320 college quarterbacks over the last 12 seasons (minimum 200 pass attempts). I used the NFL passerโrating formula for consistency; I donโt particularly like the NCAA version, but as long as everything is measured on the same scale, the comparisons remain valid. The average rating across all quarterbacks was 91.4.
Standard Deviation Ranges:
1 SD = 78.0 & 106.8 (940 QB's)
2 SD = 63.6 & 121.2 (1,260 QB's)
3 SD = 49.2 & 135.6 (1,309 QB's)
Of the 11 QB's who fell outside of 3 standard deviations, only 1 falls under 49.2. The other 10 are above 135.6.
145.3 - 2023 - Jayden Daniels---(Heisman Winner)
144.8 - 2021 - Grayson McCall---(Medically retired from football after CCU)
143.7 - 2019 - Joe Burrow--------(Heisman Winner)
143.2 - 2019 - Tua Tagovailoa
143.0 - 2020 - Mac Jones--------(Heisman Finalist)
138.7 - 2018 - Tua Tagovailoa----(Heisman Finalist)
138.1 - 2020 - Zach Wilson------(#3 Overall Draft Pick)
137.9 - 2017 - Baker Mayfield----(Heisman Winner)
137.2 - 2018 - Kyler Murray------(Heisman Winner)
135.8 - 2023 - Bo Nix------------(Heisman Finalist)
In total, 18 quarterbacks recorded a season passer rating above 125.0. Of those, 14 became Heisman finalists and 6 won the award.
The lowest season passer rating in the dataset belongs to Artur Sitkowski, who quarterbacked Rutgers in 2018. He finished with a rating of 38.1. For context, a passer rating made up entirely of incomplete passes would be 39.7. A fullโseason performance that low is extremely rare โ statistically, it would occur roughly once in 12,800 cases.
NFL Team 2025 Touchdown differential (Pass+Rush TDs scored thru the first 3 quarters vs Pass+Rush TDs Allowed thru the first 3 quarters).
The New England Patriots offense had scored the most touchdowns in the league (45) thru 3 quarters of play in all of their games.
Only defense to allowed under 20 touchdowns to opposing offenses was the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.
@formerlygossip@GfedGoCrazy Well it is every NFL team so they're going to be on the list one way or another ๐. But yes, they haven't called Boston home for 55 yrs.
@AdotSouza@GfedGoCrazy That is true. Been a very long time since the Pats last called Boston home.
Which is all the more laughable that Gillette is being "renamed" as Boston Stadium for the WC games ๐คฃ๐คฃ.
@uno_gringo@JohnnyGiunta_ Randy pitched 4 shutouts just in this image. I think there's only been 4 pitchers this season (2026), who have gone a full 9-inning shutout.
Bro was different ๐ค
A total of 31 highโschool runners have broken the 4โminute barrier in the mile. Jim Ryun was the first in 1964, running 3:59.0. Between 1964 and 1967, three athletes achieved the feat, but that early surge didnโt last. Over the next 47 years (1968โ2014), only two more runners managed to break 4:00.
Momentum returned in 2015, when five athletes went subโ4 over a threeโyear stretch (2015โ2017). By the end of 2019, just nine different highโschool runners in history had broken the barrier.
Everything changed in 2020. Beginning that summer, a massive new wave of elite highโschool milers emerged. Since 2020, 21 athletes have gone subโ4โan average of three per year. From 2022 through 2025 alone, 18 runners broke the barrier, averaging slightly more than four new subโ4 athletes per year.

@MigsOnThePerc@TeoBands@PistolRick The logo should be thrown back...into the ๐. I still feel the '01-'05 logo was the best. Ironically, I was actually 12 at the tail end of that logo though.
Okay, I see your point ๐๐ป.
I guess I would argue that being more of an acquisition (the league acquiring the franchise and players from the other league). But all that's kind of a moot point.
Vegas is just the 4th expansion franchise in the last 27 years; amoung the 4 major US sports leagues.
NFL: Houston Texans
NHL: Vegas '17, Seattle '21
NBA: Charlotte Bobcats (Hornets)
Only Vegas has seen lasting success.
