CFB games continue to shrink

Average possessions per FBS vs FBS game have been steadily declining since "peak tempo" in 2014.

2024 games featured an average of 24.3 total game possessions, 1.8 possessions fewer than the 18-season average. pic.twitter.com/JhZUH6VxBe

X post doesn’t indicate if chart shows NFL or CFB.
