Team Strength
How strong is each team right now? Compare five different ratings, then use CFB Intel's average rank to see where the models broadly agree. Ratings use different scales, so compare teams within the same column.
What do these numbers mean?
Consensus rank
CFB Intel's average of the available FBS ranks from FPI, SP+, CORE, SRS and Elo. At least two ratings are required. A smaller rank is stronger; it is not an additional poll.
FPI
Football Power Index: a team-strength rating expressed in expected points versus an average team. Higher is stronger; this is a rating, not a win percentage.
SP+
A tempo- and opponent-adjusted team-strength rating combining offense, defense and special teams. Higher is stronger.
CORE
Context & Opponent-Relative Efficiency: points created on offense minus points allowed on defense relative to average, per 100 qualifying plays. Higher is stronger.
SRS
Simple Rating System: a point-based rating that adjusts game results for the opponents faced. Higher is stronger.
Elo
A results-based strength rating that changes as teams win and lose. Higher is stronger; it uses a different scale than FPI and SP+.
