Overall Rationale: This ranking models an extrapolated round-robin using every FBS result and transitive win chains up to twelve layers. Each team’s pseudo-record comes from those pairwise comparisons, with recursive tie-breaks. After the initial order is set, we repeatedly split into top and bottom halves and rerun the ranking inside each subset, keeping the original records but sharpening placement among similarly strong teams.
