PFSN’s College Running Back Impact (RBi) assigns a numerical score and a letter grade to an individual running back's performance. While the grade depends largely on rushing explosiveness and efficiency, we also weigh receiving and pass blocking efficiency. In addition, running backs who take a higher share of their team's carries will get a boost compared to those who shine in a more divided backfield committee.
Each player's game and season grades are also adjusted for opponent strength. Past seasons used end-of-season SOS, but this means that in-season grades can and will fluctuate as we learn more about each team's true performance level.
