  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.cfb4th
abstract: Estimate the outcomes of fourth down plays in National Collegiate Athletic
  Association (NCAA) football and compare the win probability of going for it, attempting
  a field goal and punting. Each option is scored with expected points, field goal,
  fourth down conversion and win probability models fitted on 'cfbfastR' play-by-play
  data, following the approach of 'nfl4th' for the National Football League. Fourth
  down plays from a single game can be pulled from 'ESPN' and prepared for scoring,
  and whole seasons of 'cfbfastR' play-by-play can be loaded with the decision columns
  added.
