2023 College Football Rankings (as of 12/3/2023)

For the Opp W/L, the record for non-FBS schools is set at 1-23, double the expected W/L for those schools - which is 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: The top 4 are Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Florida State. Based on the rank score, Michigan is looking like the strongest team by a decent margin in the playoffs. If the 12 team playoffs started this season, Liberty and James Madison would qualify as top 12 teams based on these rankings. The previous national champion, Georgia, at number 8 is ranked behind Liberty at number 7.
