Answer

424 matching seasons

The current catalog does not yet expose a class-year split, so this canonical page anchors the QB passing-yard side and keeps the limitation explicit. Bailey Zappe (2021) leads the returned rows at 5,545. The total match set is broad enough to compare eras and conferences.

FAQ

Does this enforce freshman class status?

Not yet. The page notes the missing class split and keeps the underlying QB passing threshold editable.

Why publish it now?

It gives searchers a stable canonical path while the metric dictionary exposes unavailable split caveats.
