Overall Rationale: The premise behind the Average Ranking Rankings (ARR!) is essentially to take every relevant, comparable ranking you can get for all 130 teams, and to average the rankings specifically to get an easily digestible "average ranking" number for each team (for instance, in 2020, Alabama ended the season with an average ranking of 6.95, less than half that of the number two team, Clemson, at 15.76).The poll takes into account each individual team's ranking in the following categories:* [Points Per Drive](https://longhornstatdive.wordpress.com/offensive-defensive-efficiency/)* [Offensive Points Per Drive](https://longhornstatdive.wordpress.com/offensive-defensive-efficiency/)* [Defensive Points Per Drive](https://longhornstatdive.wordpress.com/offensive-defensive-efficiency/)* [Yards Per Rush](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/yards-per-rush-attempt)* [Yards Per Attempt](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/yards-per-pass-attempt)* [Yards Per Play Allowed](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/opponent-yards-per-play)* [TeamRankings Predictive Rankings](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/predictive-by-other)* [Congrove Computer Poll](http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/rankings/)* [TeamRankings Current SOS](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/sos-basic-by-other) (Only games already played)* [Congrove Season SOS](http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/rankings/)* [Turnover Margin](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/turnover-margin-per-game)* [MOV](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/average-scoring-margin)* [Coach Years @ School](http://www.coacheshotseat.com/WinningestActiveCoachesIA.htm) * [Coach Win % @ School](http://www.coacheshotseat.com/WinningestActiveCoachesIA.htm)* [Penalties Per Play](https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/penalties-per-play)* [Wins/Losses](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2020-ratings.html) (Avg'd 4 times, Win%, Loss %, Total Wins, Total Losses)* [Total Games](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2020-ratings.html) (New this year due to Pandemic times, I am now also giving teams a ranking based on the number of games they have played.)
