The definition of NCAA passer rating.  What is the meaing of the term when it comes to college football?There are five variables that you need to calculate the NCAA passer rating - they are:

ATT = Passing Attempts
COMP = Completions
Yards = Total Number of Passing Yards
TDs = Touchdown Passes
INT = Interceptions

The formula for calculating the NCAA passer rating looks like this:

((8.4 x Yards) + (330 x TDs) + (100 x COMP) - (200 x INT)) / ATT

So, let's say that a QB posts a line that looks like this:

18/20
355 Yards
3 TDs
1 INT

His Passer Rating would be calculated like this:

((8.4 x 355) + (330 x 3) + (100 x 18) - (200 x 1)) / 20

(2982 + 990 + 1800 - 200) / 20
