col_name	types	description
season	integer
team_id	integer
pred_wins	double	Ridge projection of the team's season win total, fit strictly on prior seasons from talent composite, blue-chip ratio, offensive and defensive returning production, and prior wins.
pred_margin	double	Ridge projection of the team's average per-game scoring margin, from the same preseason-known feature set as pred_wins.
pred_net_epa	double	Reserved slot for a projected adjusted net EPA; it ships all-null because the adjusted-EPA training target is not currently loadable.
