1. What is the NCAA Passer Rating?

The NCAA Passer Rating is a measure of quarterback performance in college football. It provides a standardized way to compare quarterback efficiency across different games and seasons.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NCAA Passer Rating formula:

Where:

• \( yds \) — Passing yards
• \( TD \) — Touchdown passes
• \( comp \) — Pass completions
• \( INT \) — Interceptions thrown
• \( att \) — Pass attempts

Explanation: The formula rewards yards, touchdowns, and completions while penalizing interceptions, all relative to the number of attempts.

3. Importance of Passer Rating
