College Football
power rankings

Every team rated by who they beat and by how much. A rating of +5 means the team has played about five points better than an average opponent; 0 is dead-average. Strength of schedule is built in — beating good teams counts for more.

As of 2026-10-13, Indiana Hoosiers sit first in the results-only College Football ratings at +45.3 points per game against an average opponent, ahead of Utah Utes (+43.6). 139 teams rated. This is our own rating from results, not a promise.

How it works: we take every completed game, cap blowout margins so one rout can't own a rating, and solve for the set of ratings where each team's number equals its average margin plus the average rating of the teams it faced. That is the classic Simple Rating System. Anyone can check it from public scores, and no one votes. Ratings recompute daily as results land.

Get this as data: ?format=csv serves the table with stable columns (rank, team, rating, wins, losses, draws, avg_for, avg_against, games), free to use with credit (CC BY 4.0). Trackers and composites welcome.
