power rating. Over the course of the season, a team's resume is weighted more and more heavily as we get closer to the post season as an attempt to mimic how the CFP committee would make their top 25. You may notice there are some noteworthy omissions with ASU and Illinois. My model sees their success last year as relatively fluky and not likely to be repeated this year. There is also a heavy amount of SEC representation in my ballot which was more than I anticipated. My computer model attempts to come up with a similar measurement that you may see with ESPN's FPI or Bill Connelly's SP+. These measurements are forward looking and take talent on the roster into heavy consideration. Because of the stronger recruiting of the SEC in recent years, this creates a bit more of an inherent bias in the early season power rankings. When resume starts becoming a more important factor in my computer ballot, these SEC teams will begin to slide down or off the ballot by nature of having to play each other.", "entries": [ { "rank":

"Loosely based off AP poll, as well as adjusting expectations for teams that I think are unrealistic. Example: Alabama is being given too much benifit of the doubt. They were suspect in way too many games last year. And got beat by a Michigan team that should be even better this year. Michigan should be ahead of them. But I keep them in the top 10 just based on roster talent alone. I think LSU needs to prove they can put it all together before I trust them. Everyone just assumes they're going to be much better than their unranked season last year. I get South Carolina came close to upsetting some big teams last year, but at the end of the day they kept losing close games, and I don't have as much trust in them as others do. I think way too many people are betting on Illinois to take a big step forward this year too. Oklahoma is another team I think people are propping up just because they got a QB. But that team looked straight up bad last year. I think Nebraska has a chance to surprise this year. Can they do it? maybe, maybe not. USC is one that I put in at the end as a hedged bet. I think they'll have some good talent. I think Lincoln Riley is learning and improving his team. They could be pretty good, but they could also be more the same.", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 35, "handle": "pennstate", "name": "Penn State Nittany Lions" }, "rationale": "" }, {

recruiting and prior year performance. I got the data from collegefootballdata.com and ESPN and messed around with the weighting until I got a result that made sense to me. This isn't something i'll base my polls off of going forward throughout the season, I only do this for the preaseason polls and do a true human poll for the regular season. Factors used: Recruiting Factor - Weighted 35% of total, meant to be a factor showing overall roster talent (didn't account for transfers out/early leavers for the draft because I have no clue how to do that) Factors within recruiting - 24/7 Composite total - 75% of Recruiting Total - Pulled the composite numbers for 2025 (20%), 2024 (32.5%), 2023 (30%), and 2022 (17.5%). I weighted the importance of recruiting years based on how I feel that each year would impact the current year - 24/7 Rankings - 25% of Recruiting Total - Same as above, just the rankings instead of composite; Composite Poll Factor - Weighted 40% of total - Meant to be a factor bringing in prior year performance and valuing those who had a good year last year - Final AP Poll - 75% of poll factor - This is only the top 25 plus receiving votes (in votes received order, ended up with around 30 numbered teams total) of the prior year, anyone not in this was numbered 55 to not skew these rankings - Final S&P+ rankings - 25% of poll factor - This is a full ranking of the top 130ish teams - thought this would be helpful to add because it actually ranks all teams not just 25; Production Factor - Weighted 25% of total - Meant to be a factor weighing returning production/starters. This is based on Bill Connley's article on returning production - this is from February so it's highly possible that it's outdated, but i'm not sure if there's a more recent one. You can read his article for the methodology he takes https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/43952974/2025-college-football-returning-production-rankings-136-teams -Weighted Offense Factor - 50% of production factor, made up of following - Returning offense production - 60% of weighted offense - Offense unit rank - 40% of weighted offense - based on the S&P+ offense ranks - Weighted Defense Factor - 50% of production factor, made up of following - Returning defense production - 60% of weighted defense - Defense unit rank - 40% of weighted defense - based on the S&P+ defense ranks I'll put the weighted ranking of each team below in my \"reasons\" as well", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 51, "handle": "alabama", "name": "Alabama Crimson Tide" },
