This post will give you instructions on how to scrape your own database for NCAA Football using only Microsoft excel and an internet connection

Please don't ask me for a different database with a bunch of different statistics. SBR wouldn't allow me to charge you, and I'm not doing it for free. Hiring someone to program a scrapper would run you in the hundreds of dollars, and it is not something terribly difficult to do by yourself with some practice.

I use foxsports for all of my scrapping. Their web-address is easy to parse and iterate in excel.

Please don't respond till I say "Done". It is hard to keep track of a post with instructions if there are posts interrupting it.

Lets get started:

For example, the address for the 2015 Miami Beach Bowl between Western Kentucky and USF is

http://www.foxsports.com/college-foo...score?id=25507

We can see the part that we need to pull the correct games is the ID number on the end.

So we need a list of game numbers to scrape
