RATING is a computed z-score composite of the 8 situational-efficiency metrics to its right (this site's own methodology, not an official NCAA/CFP metric) -- roughly how many standard deviations above or below an average situational team this program is, averaging each metric's standardized score across the qualifying pool (defense/"allowed" columns flipped so a LOWER rate always scores better, same direction as RATING itself). Only teams with both offensive and defensive snaps on file this season are ranked. O/D columns are the underlying raw rates. Click a column header to sort.
