SITE FAQS

Finding teams, games & players

Does this cover more than just SCIAC?

Yes — CFB Pirate tracks FBS, FCS, Division II, and Division III nationally. SCIAC is one of 27 D3 conferences on file, not the scope of the site. Use “Find a Team” on the home page; the CURRENT/PAST toggle searches either this season or past seasons (add a year for one specific past season, e.g. “Chapman 2019”).

How do I pull up a matchup or a specific player?

“Find a Matchup” builds a full report for any two teams; “Find a Player” searches by name across every team on file, with the same CURRENT/PAST scope as team search.

Scoreboard & box scores

Where do I see completed games?

SCOREBOARD is week-bucketed results with a team-name search box, defaulting to the current season — a season picker reaches every year on file.

What's in a box score?

Full team and player stat lines, a GARBAGE TIME REALITY CHECK section (true score vs. the score with junk-time possessions stripped out), and Red Zone TD% for both teams.

Projections

What's on the Projections page?

The weekly national slate — every projectable game, grouped by conference, with a projected winner/score/win%, and, where a real betting market exists (FBS/FCS only), the latest line, O/U, and CFB Pirate's own picks. Filter by division (FBS/FCS/D2/D3) or conference, search a team by name, or jump weeks with the week dropdown.

What's “Pirate Pick”?

CFB Pirate's own against-the-spread and over/under picks, graded against the line at pick time — shown for FBS/FCS games only; D2/D3 have no real sportsbook market, so those columns stay hidden there rather than sit full of dashes.

What's “Why This Projection?”

Linked from every matchup report — a plain-English breakdown of the actual math behind that specific projected score.

Rankings, standings & leaderboards

What is RATING / RANKINGS?

CFB Pirate's own national power rating, scoped by division. STANDINGS shows one conference's real win-loss and conference-record table.

What's on the Leaders page?

QB efficiency, skill-position (RB/WR/TE), defense, and situational (down/distance, red zone, and more) leaderboards, plus a glossary — all national, scoped by division.

What's the Garbage Time Reality Check?

The biggest true-vs-adjusted-margin swings on file — which teams' records are padded by junk-time production and which are underrated by it. A second lens alongside the ratings, not a replacement for them.

The playoff picture

What are the CFP/FCS/D2/D3 pages?

Each level's projected automatic-qualifier picture — who's projected to make the field — built from a full Monte Carlo simulation of every remaining in-conference game, not just each team's own record in isolation.

How are conference champions projected?

From CONFERENCE-record standings, not overall record, and, for the four Power conferences on the CFP page, a simulated championship game between the top two in-conference teams (real upset risk included) — a plain in-conference tiebreak elsewhere.

Stat Finder & Graph Builder

What can the Stat Finder do?

A question-driven wizard — pick the kind of result (a single game, a streak, a full season, any N-game stretch, a season's first N games, or two teams' head-to-head record entering a matchup), then the subject and stat criteria, including play-level stats like EPA and success rate. Built-in runnable examples show you how.

What's the Graph Builder?

Build your own chart — any two stats plotted against each other for teams or players, seventeen chart types, team logos as markers, every chart a shareable link.

History, notifications & downloads

Is there historical/award data?

The History pages cover national champions and major award winners across every division on file, browsable by level.

Can I get email alerts?

Yes — the Notifications page lets you subscribe by email to updates for teams and games you care about.

Can I download a report?

Team, player, matchup, comparison, and trend reports all have PDF downloads, plus a full weekly slate PDF.

This site tracks 252 NCAA football teams across FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III — it began as an eight-team SCIAC pilot, and SCIAC is still one conference among them.
