Small figures: FBS rank · B1G rank.
Method note (Oct 13, 2026): Turnover margin is computed from game box scores (defensive interceptions + opponent fumbles lost, minus giveaways).
Source: public data feeds: game summaries (box scores) for every final FBS game, standings, team season stats and player season stats (cross-checks). Team and player figures are sums of public box scores of final games. National rank = among the 138 FBS teams with a final game; B1G rank = among the 18 Big Ten teams. Ranks are computed by B1G+A from those public feeds values (T- = tied). Anything that failed a cross-check against public season totals is left out.

B1G+A PROJECTED & OFFICIAL B1G AWARDS
Blocks tagged Official B1G = Big Ten Conference announcement · every other block = B1G+A Projected (not an official honor)Week 5 B1G+A Projected Awards
No B1G+A weekly award picks for Week 5. B1G+A weekly awards began in Week 6.
B1G+A award score (projection, not an official honor), from public box-score stats only. Offense: pass yds/25 + 4·pass TD − 2·INT + rush yds/10 + 6·rush TD + rec yds/10 + 6·rec TD + 0.5·rec − 2·fumbles lost. Defense: tackles + 2·TFL + 3·sacks + 5·INT + 1.5·passes defended + QB hurries + 6·defensive TD + 3·fumble recoveries. Special teams: 3·FG made − 1.5·FG missed + XP made − 2·XP missed + 2 if a 50+ FG; punting (yds − 40·punts)/10 + inside-20s; return yds/20 + 6·return TD. Freshman: best offense or defense score among players public feeds lists as Freshman. Monthly picks use these formulas on that month's totals. Season awards and All-B1G+ teams use the same offense and special-teams formulas, but defense is scored with the season formula: tackles + 4·sacks + 6·INT. All-B1G+ ties share the slot: a tie at a tier's cutoff expands that tier. Method note updated Oct 13, 2026. Drive-stat validation improved Oct 13, 2026; 41 previously hidden stats now shown (4 of them after the Michigan State punt correction below), 2 hidden pending a source discrepancy. Oct 13, 2026: Michigan State's Week 5 punt fair-caught at the Wisconsin 15 is counted inside the 20; public feeds's box score omitted it. Correction, Oct 13, 2026 (second update): season stats for 24 more players were checked game by game against public box scores and cfbstats game logs. 17 now use their box-score totals; 7 (Anthony Colandrea, TJ Thomas, Mekhi Nelson, Curtis Gerrand, Charles Correa, Justin Denson, Jojo Hayden) use public feeds's season totals, which cfbstats confirms. Team tackle leaders now read: Alex McLaughlin (Washington) 41, not 44; Carlton Smith (Maryland) 41, not 43; Tony Rojas (Penn State) 44, not 43; Koi Perich (Oregon) 34, not 35; Christian Pierce (USC) 40, not 39; Rutgers is now led by Bradlee Jones (26), was Chris Joines (25). Projections updated: Season Defensive Player is now Tony Rojas (was Cam Buffington); October Defensive Player is now Tony Rojas (was Braydon Brus). All-B1G+ first team adds Tony Rojas at LB (Brus and Maverick Baranowski stay, tied at 55, so the LB tier has four), Alex McLaughlin at DB (Devin Vaught moves to second team) and Stephen Daley at DL (Bear Alexander moves to second team); Anthony Colandrea is the second-team QB (Julian Sayin moves to honorable mention). Other second-team and honorable-mention spots also changed. Correction, Oct 13, 2026: season stats for nine players whose public season totals did not match their game box scores now use the box-score totals (verified against cfbstats game logs). Visible changes: Braydon Brus (Northwestern) 37 tackles, not 38; Jalen Woods (UCLA) 41 tackles, not 43, so Sammy Omosigho (42) is now UCLA's tackles leader. Brus and Omosigho are now eligible for the projections: All-B1G+ LB first team is now Cam Buffington, Braydon Brus and Maverick Baranowski (Isaiah Jones moves to the second team); the August–September Defensive Player projection is now Sammy Omosigho (was Ta'Shawn James) and the October Defensive Player projection is now Braydon Brus (was Jayden Montgomery). Categories mirror the Big Ten's weekly honors (Offensive, Defensive, Special Teams and Freshman Player of the Week). Weekly lines are single-game public box-score stats.
