The Age Impact revisited


As I noted in an earlier post, the Age Impact is an attempt to improve on the returning starters concept. On top of the raw numbers of how many starters will be back with the team, the Age Impact also considers how productive those starters were and how much we can expect them to improve from year to year. Losing a quarterback hurts more than losing the #2 receiver, and freshman tend to improve more going into their sophomore season than juniors entering their senior campaign (the sophomore slump is about standard regression and nothing more). 

The Age Impact (AI) draws on those two concepts to predict variation in a team's total yards from year to year. For example, we can expect Wyoming's total yards to increase 15% from 2011. Syracuse, on the other hand, can expect a 9% decrease. Returning starters is one of a million variables that influence performance from season to season, but it does explain about 10% of season to season variation in total yards.

The last four columns are the percent of offensive production from each class.

  1. There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article, thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well
