College football

One rating, every division

FBS and FCS in a single pool, rebuilt every morning from who you beat and where, so an FCS team is ranked against everyone it actually plays. The playoff committee ranks football behind closed doors; this rating shows its work. It starts the season from last season's results, factoring in the preseason polls where teams are ranked, then fades that starting point out as games are played.

Computed from 1083 results this season, with the preseason prior fading as games accumulate · 138 FBS and 130 FCS teams ranked · updated 2026-10-31

Every team is rated in one pool, so games between divisions count. The tables split by division for easy reading. Filtering by conference keeps each team's national rank. The rating column is the number the rank comes from, how far above an average Division I team a side rates, with the bar drawn from the 25th-ranked team up to the best; a small gap means one result can swap two teams, a big one means it cannot. How the number is computed: methodology.
