Rivals has continued its partnership with Pro Football Focus (PFF) which grants me access to their comprehensive analytics and statistical tools.
After each game, two separate analysts grade every player on each play of the game and the two totals are averaged out. Obviously no subjective ranking system is perfect, but I am finding that my real world impressions of a player in a certain game usually reflects the PFF grade.

Mikey was incredibly efficient in the passing game, I think he has 7-for-7 in the fourth quarter. Interesting that Cole Schneider got the holding penalty that took a TD off the board (and UCF got no points on that drive) yet he still managed to grade out second (more on his details below). Mostly average grades (60 range) across the board though.
