Welcome

Over the past few years I have created a straightforward way to rank college football teams. Basically, I wanted a way to combine subjective views towards teams with an objective component. I have tinkered with my formula over the seasons and have what I think is a pretty decent way to compare resumes of different teams. This is NOT a sophisticated algorithm, and should not be treated the same way as Sagarin, KenPom, or other computer rankings found in places like the Massey Ranking Composite. The rankings should also not be used to predict future games; my rankings should be considered a snapshot of how a team’s body of work has been up to this point. Even though it is not the most complicated ranking system ever created, I think its simplicity can be a positive thing.


Basic Idea

I will not go into detail here about how these rankings are calculated, but I will describe the basic concept. Like I mentioned above, these rankings combine subjective and objective features. The subjective component drives the whole process. Every team is placed by me into a bin. There are seven general bins, ranging from -3 to 3. A basic idea of what each bin represents is:


If a team seems to be somewhere in between two of these categories, they can be binned as a “0.5”, “1.5”, etc.

This is the subjective part of the process. I make the final call which bin a team falls into, but I try to inform myself as much as possible of the consensus of a given team. For example, for a team to be “borderline ranked” (bin 1), they need to at least appear in the “Other Receiving Votes” area of the AP and Coaches polls. I try to make the bins representative of the nationwide media consensus of a given team. Still, there is definitely subjectivity involved.

The objective element of the rankings gives and takes away points from a team depending on the bins of that team’s opponents. For example, beating a team from bin 0 at home by a “non-blowout score” (less than 22 points) rewards that team 0.5 points, and so on. This is the part of the process that I have tinkered with over the years. A team of course loses points for losing a game, depending on the opponent, where the game was played, and whether it was a blowout or not.

So the basic idea of the system is that we have an idea as fans which “bin” a team falls into. Once we determine that, we can get an obective idea of how a team’s resume is depending on the bins of that team’s wins and losses. The final “Score” of the ranking is simply a sum of the bin you are in and the amount of points you have gained/lost from wins and losses.


Final Rankings

Here are the last rankings of the season! Always sad to see a season end, although we now have college basketball to follow with March Madness just around the corner. A couple quick notes on the final rankings. Alabama does rise to #1 in my system, so at least I got the champion correct. The rankings actually have Clemson 2nd ahead of a 3rd-place Georgia, which is interesting. My rankings have loved Clemson all season, so it’s not too surprising that they stayed high until the end. A controversial result is that 4-loss Auburn is still ahead of the undefeated UCF team (who finishes 9th), even though UCF actually beat Auburn in their bowl game. Kind of inexplicable, although I guess it shows just how much flimsier UCF’s overall collection of wins is compared to teams from the powerhouse conferences. Obviously the bowl game win was huge, but we shouldn’t throw out the fact that Auburn went 2-2 against playoff teams (including beating the national champion) while UCF had zero top-20 wins outside of the Auburn win. So I get it, UCF should be higher, but if you try to take an objective look at just wins and losses, they finish lower.

The last interesting result is the conference rankings. The Big 10 entered the bowl season 4th in my rankings, but finish 1st after an 8-1 bowl performance. The SEC was 3rd enetring the bowls but finishes 2nd after winning the championship (and having two teams in the championship of course). The Pac 12 falls from 2nd all the way to 5th. My conference rankings value conference depth, not just being top-heavy, so that is why the Big 10 finishes slightly ahead of the top-heavy SEC. Still, the differences between the Power 5 conferences are very minimal.

All that being said, here are the final rankings of the 2017-2018 season!
