2023 College Football Rankings (as of 11/20/2023)

For the Opp W/L, the record for non-FBS schools is set at 1-21, double the expected W/L for those schools - which currently have a cummulative record of 4-114 against FBS schools this season.

The rank score is calculated by taking 0.6 * Win Pct + 0.5 * Opp Win Pct + 0.4 * Pyth Win Pct.

Interesting notes: Georgia finally is in the top 4. Liberty is the top non-major conference team at #7. The winner of Michigan/Ohio State will likely be #1, while the loser will likely be around #8. At the other end, two MAC school rivals - Kent State and Akron - are still the worst FBS teams in the country.
