Week 6: Every FBS Team Ranked

All 138 teams through Week 6. Opponent-adjusted efficiency does the heavy lifting, with per-play production and the betting market as seasoning. No polls.

Indiana players in white Hoosiers jerseys, Nos. 46 and 65 in front, gather beside a coach in a black shirt before a night game.

Every team that plays FBS football, ranked one through 138, through the games of Saturday, Oct. 10.

What the number means

The rating is roughly how many points per game a team projects to beat an average FBS opponent by. Georgia at +30.0 would be about a four-touchdown favorite against that average team; UL Monroe at −28.0 would lose by about the same. The gap between any two teams is a rough spread: Georgia (+30.0) against Clemson (+2.2) comes out around twenty-eight.

Three ingredients go into one number. An opponent-adjusted efficiency rating does nearly all of the work, because it is the only one of the three that accounts for who a team has actually played. Raw per-play production and the betting market are in there to catch what the adjusted rating misses, but they are seasoning, not the meal.

No poll touches any of this. Not the AP, not the coaches. How the three ingredients are weighted against each other is a judgment call, and it is ours — we are not publishing the dial settings.

Off and Def are national ranks, one to 138, not ratings. Off 1 is the best offense in the country, Def 1 the best defense. They come from the on-field blend only, with no market component, because odds do not split by side of the ball. They show where a rating comes from — Oklahoma is 25th overall behind the No. 4 defense despite the 84th offense, while USC has the third-best offense in the country and sits 15th because the defense ranks 52nd.

Season Eff is new this week. It is each team's plain national rank in points per play, offense minus defense, over the whole season through Week 6. It does not feed the rating; it sits beside it so you can see where the two disagree. The top five match, in a different order. The middle is where they split: Texas is 7th in the rating and 55th in season efficiency, Penn State 16th and 67th, Oregon 10th and 38th.
