Power Rankings

All 136 FBS teams ranked by the PS Rating, our composite team rating: a calibrated blend of our Elo, Glicko and opponent-adjusted net efficiency systems, the same published number we run for every sport. The component systems and SP+ sit alongside for the receipts. Graded in public. No committee, no ballots.

PS Rating = our composite team rating: standardized Elo, Glicko and net efficiency, blended with weights calibrated on real game outcomes (1500 = average). The published number, consistent across every sport we rate. Glicko = our Glicko-2 rating (results, schedule and rating uncertainty). Elo = our Elo (results, margin and schedule), reverted a third to the mean each offseason. Net / Off / Def = opponent-adjusted EPA per play (higher Off and Net is better, lower Def is better). SP+ = the established public computer rating, shown for comparison. On-field results only, not recruiting or reputation.
