2025 PFEI Preseason Ratings
Projected FEI Ratings (FEI), Offense Ratings (OFEI), Defense Ratings (DFEI), and Special Teams Ratings (SFEI) are calculated from five previous years of opponent-adjusted possession efficiency data and represent the scoring advantage per non-garbage possession a team or unit would expect to have on a neutral field against an average opponent. Projected strength of schedule ratings represent the number of losses a team two standard deviations above average would expect to have against the regular season schedule of opponents (ELS), the number of losses a team one standard deviation above average would expect to have against the schedule (GLS), and the number of losses an average team would expect to have against the schedule (ALS). Projected strength of record ratings (EWD, GWD, AWD) are the difference between a team's projected schedule strength ratings and its projected regular season losses.
