Below you’ll find a sample box score for one of the games from a previous season. Following the box score, you’ll find a detailed description of what all those numbers mean and how the hell we arrived at our final score.
Breaking Down the Box Score
The box score above is, admittedly, quite a lot of numbers. But when you know what the categories mean, it’s very simple.
Here’s a breakdown of the box score, using one of the teams featured:
The Surfers went with the following starting lineup (with totals in parentheses):
Rushing Offense - Northwestern (3 points)
Passing Offense - Kansas State (9 points)
Rushing Defense - Iowa (5 points)
Passing Defense - Purdue (4 points)
Special Teams - Florida (8 points)
Victory Bonus - W3, L2 (1 point)
Weighted point subtraction (- 14 points)
Total: 16 points
In their actual game, Northwestern as a team rushed for 256 yards and one TD, along with 2 fumbles. The 256 yards earned the Surfers 3 points, the one TD earned the Surfers 4 points, and the 2 fumbles cost the Surfers 4 points. In sum, Northwestern earned the Surfers 3 points for Rushing Offense.
In their actual game, Kansas State passed for 149 yards and 2 TDs, with 0 interceptions. The 149 yards earned the Surfers 1 point, the 2 TDs earned them 8 points and the 0 interceptions cost them 0 points. In sum, Kansas State earned the Surfers 9 points for Passing Offense.
In their actual game, Iowa allowed 154 rushing yards, recovered 0 fumbles, recorded 0 safeties, and allowed 14 points to their opponent. The 154 yards earned the Surfers 2 points, the 0 fumble recoveries and safeties earned them 0 points each, and the 14 points allowed earned the Surfers 3 points. In sum, Iowa earned the Surfers 5 points for Rushing Defense.
The Surfers also used Iowa as its Weighted Defense, which means Iowa’s overall total was also subtracted from his opponent’s total. That means that 5 points were subtracted from the Run-n-Gun.
In their actual game, Purdue allowed 203 passing yards, with 1 interception, and allowed 27 points. The 203 yards earned the Surfers 1 point, the 1 interception earned them 2 points, and the 27 points allowed earned the Surfers 1 point. In sum, Purdue earned the Surfers 4 points for Passing Defense.
In their actual game, Florida kicked 0 FGs, 5 PATs, missed 0 PATs, converted no 2-pt conversions, missed no 2-pt conversions, had no special teams TDs, and punted for an average of 44.6 yards. No FGs, 2-pt conversions or special teams TDs earned the Surfers 0 points, while the 5 PATs earned them 5 points and the 44.6 punting average earned them 3 points. In sum, Florida earned the Surfers 8 points for Special Teams.
The Surfers’ opponent, the Run-n-Gun, earned 14 points from its Weighted Defense, which means that -14 was added to the Surfers total.
Finally, of the Surfers’ starting five schools, 3 teams won and 2 teams lost. That 3-2 margin earned the Surfers 1 point.
Points-allowed total includes points given up by Offense and Special Teams. Those points-allowed totals are tallied through the end of regulation (although other statistical categories are tallied through overtime). This means that if your defense holds its opponent to 10 points in regulation but ends up playing seven overtimes, your defense isn’t penalized for giving up a ton of points in overtime.
Weighted Defense Points Since the purpose of defense in actual football is to prevent the opponent from scoring, we have included a component in which your defensive points can subtract points from your opponent’s score. Each week, nominate one of your defensive schools to be your Weighted Defense. The total number of points that school earns for you will not only count toward your overall total, but that same amount will be subtracted from your opponent’s score. For example, say you start LSU as your Rushing Defense and elect them to be weighted. If their Rushing Defense earns you 8 points, your total claims those points, and then 8 points will also be subtracted from your opponent’s total. (We believe this is a means of addressing the only real flaw in fantasy football leagues around the country: defense is given short-shrift. It’s fifty percent of the game, and in SBR, it’s very close to that same amount.)
The only touchdowns counted as Special Teams touchdowns will be punt returns, kickoff returns and those that are explicitly stated in the box score to have been as a result of a blocked kick. Victory Bonus For each of your five starting schools that earns a victory, you will be rewarded with an extra point. For each of your five starting schools that loses their game, one point will be subtracted. Therefore the maximum Victory Bonus each week is 5 points; the maximum number of points subtracted is also 5 points. Call this the Ohio State Rule: rewarding schools that play winning football but don’t necessarily rack up huge numbers. The Kansas State Rule: I-AA opponents only earn half points In the past, we have only allowed participants to use a particular school each week if they are playing a I-A opponent.* The idea was that we didn’t want managers feasting on the likes of Prairie View A&M or other schools from I-AA, I-AAA, NAIA or otherwise. However, more and more schools are following in the footsteps of Kansas St, which means more weeks in which it’s difficult to field a full squad. For that reason—and because we’re always looking for ways to mix things up—this season we will be allowing SBR participants to use schools who are playing I-AA opponents. The catch is that if your school is playing a I-AA opponent, then that school’s point totals will be cut in half (and rounded down). So, for example, if one of your squads plays a lower-division opponent and puts up 400 rushing yards, with 6 rushing TDs and no fumbles, you’ll earn 13 points rather than 27. (The only exception is the Tiebreaker slot: if a school is playing a I-AA opponent, you can’t use that school as your tiebreaker.) As always, it’s your responsibility to double-check your schools’ opponents each week, to confirm whether they’re playing a I-A opponent or not. If you do start a school that is playing a non-Division I-A opponent, you will receive half points in all the relevant categories. Special circumstances: fumbles and interceptions During the season there may also be what we’ll call ’special circumstances’ stats—like a WR or QB fumbling, or a RB throwing an INT or TD pass. These will always fall within the scoring totals of the particular school’s offense that you chose. For example: if the Kansas State QB fumbles, and even though you chose Kansas State for Rushing Offense that day, the fumbles would count against you (even though it’s a passer doing it). But—if you chose Kansas State as your Passing Offense, the fumbles wouldn’t count against you (even if it was the QB—or a WR—who fumbled). However, if you’ve started Kansas State as your Passing Offense and the Kansas State RB tries a halfback pass that is intercepted, the INT counts against you since it was a passing play. Negative point totals If a team ends up with a negative point total (a slew of interceptions or fumbles, for example), then the amount of negative points gets added to the other team’s total until the negative-scoring team finishes with zero. For example: if one team has 30 points and the other team has -7 points, then the final score is 37-0. This is a rarity in our league (where the average score is 38-35), and it ultimately won’t matter on a weekly, head-to-head basis. But the point totals may come into play in the case of an end-of-season tiebreaker to decide who gets a playoff bid. Overtime/Tiebreakers Select an extra school for tiebreaker purposes only. The tiebreaker will be determined as follows: 1. Tiebreaker school wins their game If one of your starting five has a game that is cancelled, your tiebreaker school fills that slot in the starting lineup. The tiebreaker school can still be used in a tiebreak situation. Home-field advantage For the playoffs, “home-field advantage” will be added. The difference in won-loss records of the two competing teams is added to the point total of the team with a better record. For example, if an 8-2 team is facing a 5-5 team, the 8-2 team receives 3 additional points for being 3 games better during the regular season. This rewards teams for “playing hard” each week during the regular season, but it’s also not an enormous obstacle for the “road team” to overcome. Where our scoring comes from Scoring will be calculated from the box scores on ESPN.com. In the event that ESPN.com is down or does not have a particular box score, the following sites will be used (in order): FOXSports.com, CNNSI.com, USAToday.com, SportingNews.com. All these pages of rules might seem a little confusing or overwhelming at first, but it’s actually pretty simple to follow and play. For an example of these rules in action, take a look at a sample box score. * We will, for as long as possible, avoid using the heinous, and some might even say Orwellian, terms “FBS” and “FCS.” |

The rules of Student Body Right are as follows: Instead of players, you draft 9 schools, available from a pool of all 117 teams in Division I-A. Each week, you field your squad—with five different schools starting for you each week. That means: one school for Rushing Offense, one school for Passing Offense, one for Rushing Defense, one for Passing Defense, and one for Kicking/Special Teams. The teams are interchangeable week-to-week in terms of positions, but you cannot use a team for more than one position in any given week.
For example: Let’s say you’ve drafted Texas, Penn State, LSU, Georgia Tech and Washington (plus four others, but assume you want to start these five). You can start Washington as your Passing Offense, Texas as your Rushing Offense, LSU as your Rushing Defense, Georgia Tech as your Passing Defense and Penn State as your Special Teams. The tallies earned by those schools in those particular categories combine for your score. But you can’t, for example, start Texas at more than one position each week.

Welcome to Student Body Right, the home of an original fantasy college football league since 2000. In our fantasy college football leagues, we run the best college gridiron simulation in the known universe. What makes it the best, you ask? Well, we’ll tell you.
Although fantasy NFL leagues are more popular than ever before, no fantasy college football league has ever caught on (though there have been several valiant attempts). The likely reason? With 117 teams in Division I-A, there is an infinite number of players to follow on a weekly basis, enough to overwhelm all but the most outrageously hardcore, not-much-of-a-social-life fanatics.
But Student Body Right keeps it simple. Instead of drafting and starting particular players each week, you draft schools. That means you’re keeping track of your handful of schools, not the countless mobs of players shuttling in and out of lineups each week. (For a more detailed description, see the “Rules” and “Scoring” sections on our main site).
As college football junkies ourselves, we’ve tried to create a league that mirrors the excitement, intensity and tradition of our favorite sport. Think of this as a finishing touch to the masterpiece that is college football… like cheerleaders, mascots, marching bands, and rivalries.
