Net Points Per Drive (NPD) is the difference between points scored per offensive drive (OPD) and points allowed per opponent offensive drive (DPD) on non-garbage, regulation drives in FBS vs. FBS games. Points per drive from long starting field position for offenses (OLD) and opponent offenses (DLD) are calculated from the results of drives that begin inside the offense's own 20-yard line. Points per drive from middle starting field position for offenses (OMD) and opponent offenses (DMD) are calculated from the results of drives that begin from the offense's own 20-yard line to its own 40-yard line. Points per drive from short starting field position for offenses (OSD) and opponent offenses (DSD) are calculated from the results of drives that begin less than 60 yards from the end zone. Note that the result of extra point and two-point conversion attempts following touchdown drives are included in scoring results, and safeties are recorded as a scoring result of negative-two points.
