Route-specific context pulled from the current leaderboard, winner trend, and historical baseline.
Havoc rate is about disruption rather than pure prevention, using source-provided havoc events to track how often a defense creates snaps that push an offense off schedule. On this 2022 leaderboard, the visible range runs 20.4% to 17.5%, with Navy setting the pace.
American teams have claimed 100% of the yearly leaderboard wins in this filtered dataset, and East Carolina is the latest winner at 19.1%.
The gap from No. 1 Navy to No. 5 Houston is 2.9%, which shows how tightly packed the top of this leaderboard is.
