ESPN QB Ratings

[chrisfisher]

I was bragging to my brother, an Texas A&M fan, about our new QB, Woody Wilson. I sent him the impressive stats (190 QB rating with 81% completions!) to which he quickly replied, "why isn't he listed on ESPN D-1A QB Passing Leaders?" I had no idea, but told him probably b/c he has not started. Does anyone know for sure? Sorry if this is a newbie question.

Sorry, my subheading should have read "why ISN'T Woody Wilson included?" I couldn't edit it... sorry for the confusion.

Presto, Change-o

I forgot to add: if Woody was included in the ESPN national D-1A passing stats, he would be #6 in the nation based on QB Rating (190.7), and #3 in the nation for completion percentage (81.2%). Keep in mind, he garnered these stats against 2 OOC opponents: UT and SMU. I realize we are only 2 games into the season, and Woody still has alot to prove in upcoming games (starting with Tulsa!), but I can't help ignore his performance and stats.

FYI: I gathered my Woody stats from meangreensports.com.

ESPN has Woody's stats on their North Texas team page, but does not include him on the ESPN national D-1A passing stats page.

If you check their North Texas roster, Woody is listed as a safety, and only the 'skill position' players are linked to provide information for the stats pages.

I thought Phillip Graves was from Hutto?

My guess is because he doesn't qualify for I-A leaders. Usually there are a number of attempts per game that one needs in order to rank at the top. If not, then every running back that completed a halfback pass would be at the top.

Those that play video games know what I'm talking about. There's nothing more annoying than looking at the stats on a video game and having a QB that has gone 5/5 be at the top.

SBG is right. After two full weeks into the season, a QB must have a certain number of attemps to qualify for a national ranking.

Thanks for the heads up on Woody. Hopefully he will start next week and meet the these requirements. I want to see Woodrow Wilson and UNT on the ESPN ratings! Of couse, I assume he will continue his impressive performance against Tulsa... BTW, REVENGE will be delivered soon to Tulsa for last years beating, and on their home turf! Moreover, I hope we embarrass alot of other teams this year after the sorry offensive performance at UT. Everyone thinks we're a push over.. ask SMU.

Please people, in case of doubt, please reread my post. Maybe I typed it too fast for ya.

Woody is 13 of 16 for the season, the current leader leader in % is Kevin O'Connell from SDSU who has completed 12 of 14 passes.

It's not a case of quantity of attempts, Woody has been left off the leader list because they don't link passing statistics for a safety to their leaders board.

(Please notice that his name is not underlined on the roster page. This means that his stats are NOT LINKED by ESPN.
