Power Rankings
Neutral-site team rating entering 2026. Base is a composite z-score of BP final-2025 + FEI + FPI (rescaled to BP's point-like units). Scout adds our spring overrides — the same per-team adjustments the simulator applies on every game. Rating differences are roughly in points, so rating(A) − rating(B) approximates the predicted margin if A and B met at a neutral site.

How to read this
- Baseis a composite z-score of BP, FEI, and FPI end-of-2025 ratings, rescaled to BP's point-like scale. Teams missing from one source still get a fair rating from the others.
- Scoutis the team-strength delta from spring intel: unit grades + spring signal, capped at −2.0 on the downside. See methodology for the exact formula.
- This is nota championship-probability ranking. A team can be #1 here and a long-shot to win their conference if their schedule is brutal — the sim handles that separately.
- Rows with an ED tag carry an editorial scouting margin — we override the formula when the JSON intel hasn't caught up to a known development (QB downgrade, transfer, gambling probe, etc). Hover the Scout cell for the reason.
