The College Football Power Index

Weekly college football power ratings, unit splits, and 12-team Playoff projections for all 138 FBS and 100 FCS teams. Every team is rated in points above an average FBS team on a neutral field (0.0), where Power = Offense + Defense + Special Teams. In backtesting since 2017 against FPI, SP+, and the 55+ models on The Prediction Tracker, it beats every non-line index on every metric and even beats the Vegas line on some of them (including opening-line spread error and closing-line straight-up accuracy). Read the launch note for how it works, or click any team below to see its schedule and breakdown:
