Momentum Control measures consecutive scoring sequences (CSS) —
when a team scores, forces a stop, then scores again — opponent-adjusted for schedule strength.
Teams that win the Momentum Control battle win 85.6% of FBS games (2016–2025, 5,485 games).
That makes it the single most predictive game-outcome metric in college football.
CSS Off measures sequences created. CSS Def measures sequences allowed (lower is better).
CSS Net is the difference — the primary ranking metric.
