cfb-data: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

College Football (CFB) data via ESPN public endpoints and the NCAA's official endpoints — scores, standings, rosters, schedules, game summaries, play-by-play, rankings, injuries, futures, team/player stats, and news for FBS, plus official FCS scoreboards, NCAA game detail with drive context, and the schools index. Zero config, no API keys. Use when: user asks about college football scores, standings, rankings, team rosters, schedules, game results, play-by-play, injuries, betting futures, team/player statistics, CFB news, or FCS games. Don't use when: user asks about NFL (use nfl-data), college basketball (use cbb-data), or non-sports topics.

College Football Data (CFB)

Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, conference IDs, team IDs, and data shapes.

Setup

Before first use, check if the CLI is available:

which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills

If pip install fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python:

python3 --version  # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills

No API keys required.

Quick Start

Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:

sports-skills cfb get_scoreboard
sports-skills cfb get_rankings
sports-skills cfb get_standings --group=8

CRITICAL: Before Any Query

CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:

Season year is derived from the system prompt's currentDate — never hardcoded.
For standings, the group parameter is set to the correct conference ID (see references/api-reference.md).
If only a team name is provided, use get_teams to resolve the team ID.

Choosing the Season

Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-28 → current year is 2026).

If the user specifies a season, use it as-is.
If the user says "current", "this season", or doesn't specify: The CFB season runs August–January. If the current month is February–July (offseason), use season = current_year - 1. From August onward, use the current year.

Important: College vs. Pro Differences

Standings are per-conference — use the group parameter to filter
Rankings replace leaders — college uses AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings
Ranked teams have a rank field (null = unranked) on scoreboard competitors
Week-based schedule — like NFL, college football uses week numbers

Commands

Command	Description
`get_scoreboard`	Live/recent college football scores
`get_standings`	Standings by conference (use `group` parameter)
`get_teams`	All 750+ FBS college football teams
`get_team_roster`	Full roster for a team
`get_team_schedule`	Schedule for a specific team
`get_game_summary`	Detailed box score and scoring plays
`get_rankings`	AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, CFP rankings
`get_news`	College football news
`get_play_by_play`	Full play-by-play for a game
`get_win_probability`	Win probability timeline for a completed game
`get_schedule`	Season schedule by week
`get_injuries`	Injury reports across all teams
`get_futures`	Futures/odds markets (National Championship, Heisman, etc.)
`get_team_stats`	Team statistical profile
`get_player_stats`	Player statistical profile
`get_ncaa_scoreboard`	Official NCAA scoreboard — FBS and FCS
`get_ncaa_schedule`	Which weeks have games (official index)
`get_ncaa_game`	Official NCAA game information
`get_ncaa_boxscore`	Official NCAA box score
`get_ncaa_play_by_play`	Official play-by-play with drive context
`get_ncaa_scoring_summary`	Official scoring summary
`get_ncaa_schools`	NCAA schools index (all divisions)

See references/api-reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes.

Official NCAA Backend

The get_ncaa_* commands read the NCAA's own endpoints (data.ncaa.com + sdataprod.ncaa.com) — coverage ESPN does not carry:

FCS scoreboards via division="fcs" — ESPN's college coverage is FBS-centric.
Official game detail: get_ncaa_game, get_ncaa_boxscore, get_ncaa_play_by_play (with drive context), get_ncaa_scoring_summary.
The schools index (~1,200 schools, all divisions): get_ncaa_schools.

NCAA game ids (e.g. 6306261, from get_ncaa_scoreboard) and ESPN event ids share nothing — join on game date plus team names. Football divisions are fbs/fcs (not d1-d3). Game-detail commands ride NCAA's GraphQL persisted queries, whose hashes rotate when ncaa.com redeploys; when that happens those commands say so explicitly while the scoreboard/schedule commands keep working.

Examples

Example 1: Current rankings User says: "What are the college football rankings?" Actions:

Call get_rankings() Result: AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings with rank, previous rank, record

Example 2: Conference standings User says: "Show me SEC football standings" Actions:

Derive season year from currentDate
Call get_standings(group=8, season=<derived_year>) (group 8 = SEC) Result: SEC standings with W-L records per team

Example 3: Team schedule User says: "What's Alabama's schedule this season?" Actions:

Derive season year from currentDate
Call get_team_schedule(team_id="333", season=<derived_year>) Result: Alabama's full season schedule with opponent, date, score (if played)

Example 4: Weekly scores User says: "Show me this week's college football scores" Actions:

Call get_scoreboard() Result: All live and recent CFB games with scores and ranked status

Example 5: Heisman favorites User says: "Who's the Heisman favorite?" Actions:

Call get_futures(limit=10) Result: Top Heisman Trophy candidates with odds values

Example 6: Team statistics User says: "Show me Alabama's team stats" Actions:

Derive season year from currentDate
Call get_team_stats(team_id="333", season_year=<derived_year>) Result: Alabama's season stats by category with value, rank, and per-game averages

Commands that DO NOT exist — never call these

~~get_odds~~ / ~~get_betting_odds~~ — not available. For prediction market odds, use the polymarket or kalshi skill.
~~search_teams~~ — does not exist. Use get_teams instead.
~~get_box_score~~ — does not exist. Use get_game_summary instead.
~~get_player_ratings~~ — does not exist. Use get_player_stats instead.
~~get_bcs_rankings~~ / ~~get_playoff_rankings~~ — does not exist. Use get_rankings instead.

If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist.

Error Handling

When a command fails, do not surface raw errors to the user. Instead:

If no events found for a date, check if it's in the off-season (CFB runs August–January)
If standings are empty without a group filter, try with a specific conference group
Only report failure with a clean message after exhausting alternatives

Troubleshooting

Error: sports-skills command not found Cause: Package not installed Solution: Run pip install sports-skills

Error: No games found Cause: CFB is seasonal (August–January); off-season scoreboard will be empty Solution: Use get_rankings or get_news year-round; use get_schedule to find when the season starts

Error: Too many teams returned Cause: get_teams returns 750+ FBS teams Solution: Help users narrow down by suggesting specific team IDs from references/api-reference.md, or use ESPN URLs to look up IDs

Error: Rankings empty in off-season Cause: Rankings are only published during the season and early off-season Solution: Use get_news in the offseason; rankings resume in August

# College Football Data (CFB)

Before writing queries, consult `references/api-reference.md` for endpoints, conference IDs, team IDs, and data shapes.

## Setup

Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
```bash
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
```
If `pip install` fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python:
```bash
python3 --version  # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
```
No API keys required.

## Quick Start

Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
```bash
sports-skills cfb get_scoreboard
sports-skills cfb get_rankings
sports-skills cfb get_standings --group=8
```

## CRITICAL: Before Any Query

CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
- Season year is derived from the system prompt's `currentDate` — never hardcoded.
- For standings, the `group` parameter is set to the correct conference ID (see `references/api-reference.md`).
- If only a team name is provided, use `get_teams` to resolve the team ID.

## Choosing the Season

Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., `currentDate: 2026-02-28` → current year is 2026).

- **If the user specifies a season**, use it as-is.
- **If the user says "current", "this season", or doesn't specify**: The CFB season runs August–January. If the current month is February–July (offseason), use `season = current_year - 1`. From August onward, use the current year.

## Important: College vs. Pro Differences

- **Standings are per-conference** — use the `group` parameter to filter
- **Rankings replace leaders** — college uses AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings
- **Ranked teams** have a `rank` field (null = unranked) on scoreboard competitors
- **Week-based schedule** — like NFL, college football uses week numbers

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `get_scoreboard` | Live/recent college football scores |
| `get_standings` | Standings by conference (use `group` parameter) |
| `get_teams` | All 750+ FBS college football teams |
| `get_team_roster` | Full roster for a team |
| `get_team_schedule` | Schedule for a specific team |
| `get_game_summary` | Detailed box score and scoring plays |
| `get_rankings` | AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, CFP rankings |
| `get_news` | College football news |
| `get_play_by_play` | Full play-by-play for a game |
| `get_win_probability` | Win probability timeline for a completed game |
| `get_schedule` | Season schedule by week |
| `get_injuries` | Injury reports across all teams |
| `get_futures` | Futures/odds markets (National Championship, Heisman, etc.) |
| `get_team_stats` | Team statistical profile |
| `get_player_stats` | Player statistical profile |
| `get_ncaa_scoreboard` | Official NCAA scoreboard — FBS and FCS |
| `get_ncaa_schedule` | Which weeks have games (official index) |
| `get_ncaa_game` | Official NCAA game information |
| `get_ncaa_boxscore` | Official NCAA box score |
| `get_ncaa_play_by_play` | Official play-by-play with drive context |
| `get_ncaa_scoring_summary` | Official scoring summary |
| `get_ncaa_schools` | NCAA schools index (all divisions) |

See `references/api-reference.md` for full parameter lists and return shapes.

## Official NCAA Backend

The `get_ncaa_*` commands read the NCAA's own endpoints (data.ncaa.com +
sdataprod.ncaa.com) — coverage ESPN does not carry:

- **FCS scoreboards** via `division="fcs"` — ESPN's college coverage is
  FBS-centric.
- **Official game detail**: `get_ncaa_game`, `get_ncaa_boxscore`,
  `get_ncaa_play_by_play` (with drive context), `get_ncaa_scoring_summary`.
- **The schools index** (~1,200 schools, all divisions): `get_ncaa_schools`.

NCAA game ids (e.g. `6306261`, from `get_ncaa_scoreboard`) and ESPN event ids
share nothing — join on game date plus team names. Football divisions are
`fbs`/`fcs` (not d1-d3). Game-detail commands ride NCAA's GraphQL persisted
queries, whose hashes rotate when ncaa.com redeploys; when that happens those
commands say so explicitly while the scoreboard/schedule commands keep working.

## Examples

Example 1: Current rankings
User says: "What are the college football rankings?"
Actions:
1. Call `get_rankings()`
Result: AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, and CFP rankings with rank, previous rank, record

Example 2: Conference standings
User says: "Show me SEC football standings"
Actions:
1. Derive season year from `currentDate`
2. Call `get_standings(group=8, season=<derived_year>)` (group 8 = SEC)
Result: SEC standings with W-L records per team

Example 3: Team schedule
User says: "What's Alabama's schedule this season?"
Actions:
1. Derive season year from `currentDate`
2. Call `get_team_schedule(team_id="333", season=<derived_year>)`
Result: Alabama's full season schedule with opponent, date, score (if played)

Example 4: Weekly scores
User says: "Show me this week's college football scores"
Actions:
1. Call `get_scoreboard()`
Result: All live and recent CFB games with scores and ranked status

Example 5: Heisman favorites
User says: "Who's the Heisman favorite?"
Actions:
1. Call `get_futures(limit=10)`
Result: Top Heisman Trophy candidates with odds values

Example 6: Team statistics
User says: "Show me Alabama's team stats"
Actions:
1. Derive season year from `currentDate`
2. Call `get_team_stats(team_id="333", season_year=<derived_year>)`
Result: Alabama's season stats by category with value, rank, and per-game averages

## Commands that DO NOT exist — never call these

- ~~`get_odds`~~ / ~~`get_betting_odds`~~ — not available. For prediction market odds, use the polymarket or kalshi skill.
- ~~`search_teams`~~ — does not exist. Use `get_teams` instead.
- ~~`get_box_score`~~ — does not exist. Use `get_game_summary` instead.
- ~~`get_player_ratings`~~ — does not exist. Use `get_player_stats` instead.
- ~~`get_bcs_rankings`~~ / ~~`get_playoff_rankings`~~ — does not exist. Use `get_rankings` instead.

If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist.

## Error Handling

When a command fails, **do not surface raw errors to the user**. Instead:
1. If no events found for a date, check if it's in the off-season (CFB runs August–January)
2. If standings are empty without a group filter, try with a specific conference group
3. Only report failure with a clean message after exhausting alternatives

## Troubleshooting

Error: `sports-skills` command not found
Cause: Package not installed
Solution: Run `pip install sports-skills`

Error: No games found
Cause: CFB is seasonal (August–January); off-season scoreboard will be empty
Solution: Use `get_rankings` or `get_news` year-round; use `get_schedule` to find when the season starts

Error: Too many teams returned
Cause: `get_teams` returns 750+ FBS teams
Solution: Help users narrow down by suggesting specific team IDs from `references/api-reference.md`, or use ESPN URLs to look up IDs

Error: Rankings empty in off-season
Cause: Rankings are only published during the season and early off-season
Solution: Use `get_news` in the offseason; rankings resume in August
