ESPN Player impact ratings

I thought it was "Bama Bias" when I first looked at it but they apparently use a mathematical model to determine the "player ratings." The algorithm they use just disadvantages certain players I guess.

For every player, we compare his team's performance when he's on the field vs. when he's off it, and then we adjust for the skill of his teammates and opponents on every snap and consider whether each play was a run or a pass.
Think of it as real plus-minus, scaled 0-100, just for football.

Regardless I doubt the LSU players give a shite about it. Burrow has a decent chance to win the Heisman and be a millionaire in a few months. I doubt some fake video game rating matters to him.
