2
1Michigan150311.72611. Fornelli+ is a metric that shows a team's rating in the Fornelli Ratings compared to the average score of all 133 teams
3
2Georgia131302.85752. Fornelli+ shows how much better or worse than average a team rates
4
3Oregon122275.10363. A score of 0 is average. A score of 25.467 is 25.467% above average, -34.321 is 34.321% below average and so on
5
4Washington141253.90234. Every team starts the season with the same rating. There are no expectations. Georgia starts tied with UMass
6
5Ohio State112246.07325. There are a lot of different stats I use to rate teams, but none of them are weighted as heavily in the formula as wins and losses.
7
6Florida State131244.15346. SOS is based upon the internal rankings of teams in this formula, not any other poll or metric. This eliminates bias.
8
7Notre Dame103239.029117. MOV is part of the formula, but it is capped.
9
8Texas122235.35778. These rankings are not predictive: Being ranked No. 23 does not mean that team will beat, or should be favored against No. 35
10
9Alabama122224.50789. These rankings rank teams based on what they've done to this point, not what they will continue to do.
11
10LSU103221.6841310. If you haven't figured it out yet, this is not a Vegas Power Poll.
12
11Penn State103203.622911. The earlier in the season we are, the less data there is to work with, and the wonkier the results will seem.
13
12Oklahoma103200.3751012. FCS opponents don't do a whole lot for your SOS. To determine strength of FCS opponent, Sagarin Ratings & SP+ are consulted.
14
13Mississippi112198.7051513. But, again, FCS opponents, no matter who they are, don't do much for your SOS. Some just a little more than others.
15
14Missouri112196.3661614. I will not share my formula publicly.
16
15Liberty131189.7001215. I don't hate your favorite team.
