Every team, by league

Every FBS team, grouped by league. Closer to the end zone is better.

How it works

Results: a rating from every FBS final. Margin against who you played, capped so a blowout of a cupcake does not count extra.

Lines: where the betting market puts each team, from every spread on our boards. Newer lines count more.

The lines count up to 65%. A team with few lines leans on its results, and a team with no line yet gets 70% credit for them.

No votes. Until 5 Oct 2026 tier votes counted; a vote cast before a game could outweigh the game, so we dropped them.
