College football possessions per game totals have been shrinking over the last decade due tempo preferences downshifting, plays per drive increasing with improved offensive efficiency, and game/play clock rule changes. FBS games averaged 23.9 possessions per game in 2025. bcftoys.com/possessions

Chart titled "Possessions Per Game Season Distributions", a bubble chart representing games played between FBS opponents plotted by the number of total game possessions. Columns of bubbles are organized by season, 2007 to 2025. Labels for the median number of possessions per game by season are included, which along with the distributions themselves, drift down from a median of 27 game possessions (in the 2007 and 2012-2015 seasons) to a median of 24 game possessions (in the 2023-2025 seasons).
