Column Information

Rank: Current Transfer Portal rank, as of the Latest Update listed above.
Team: All 136 FBS teams.
Incoming: Total positive Net Win value of incoming transfers.
Outgoing: Total positive Net Win value of outgoing transfers.
NetWin Effect: Incoming minus Outgoing. The expected net wins added or lost for an average FBS team, based on a 12-game schedule, an average schedule difficulty, and an average roster. See the Player Ratings page for more information about the standardization of the NetWin statistic.
TeamID: Unique numeric identifier. Useful for filtering teams with similar names, like Michigan and Western Michigan.

*Two principles guided the decision to use only positive Net Win values in the team rankings:

Teams are not rewarded for losing players. I.e., in these rankings, there is no “addition by subtraction.”
Teams are not punished for adding players. I.e., in these rankings, there is no “subtraction by addition.”

Despite these two principles, there is an implicit opportunity cost, given limited roster slots. For example, if a team with room for one quarterback adds a QB with negative NetWin, that won’t explicitly affect the team’s ranking. However, had the team added a +NetWin QB instead, they would’ve been ranked higher.
