2016 College Football Power Ratings


Last updated: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 - final ratings

I will be updating this page by each Monday night during the season.
These ratings are based on a mathematical formula which includes several
factors, including win-loss record, schedule strength, and margin of victory
in games.  The most recent games are counted with more slightly emphasis than
those played earlier in the season.  

The strength of schedule ranking shown here is vs. all opponents and is the 
ranking among the 253 teams in these ratings.

The strength of schedule ranking reflects only games played so far during the 
season, not future opponents.

SS = strength of schedule ranking among all Division I teams (1 is strongest
and 253 is weakest)
