Power Digits

For those new here: Power Digits is a completely unbiased mathematical way of ranking teams in College Football. The primary objective of this ranking is not to predict future winners, but to determine who has the best resume for the College Football Playoffs. The Rankings were built to give a non-biased approach to teams’ strengths. By defining the path to success before the season, no name-bias can help a team’s ranking. The Power Digits methodology may not be universal, but ensures consistency from year-to-year. For the full math explanation: powerdigitsfootball.com/mathfaq For the current rankings: powerdigitsfootball.com/currentrankings This algorithm was developed ~2018, & has been evolving ever since. In 2024, it has been optimized to run nearly automatically, allowing this team of one to fully maintain it going forward. Let's Revolutionize College Football!

There’s a reason why they PLAY THE GAMES What matters is the teams being given opportunities - never assume in hypotheticals!

@CFBPlayoff @CanesFootball @MiamiHurricanes @univmiami @theACC @ACCFootball @thecheckdown This is less about BYU - they were used as a way to keep these two teams separate, and were the only team to be penalized for losing a conference title game, which set up this h2h argument that they just tried to avoid all year. Moving the goalposts.

@CFBPlayoff @CanesFootball @MiamiHurricanes @univmiami @theACC @ACCFootball @thecheckdown This is a disgrace. The resume doesn’t add up, and the only way this works is because of unfair BYU disrespect.

And yes, I *believe* you shouldn't be punished for a Conference Title game loss. (Bama). The algorithm is built to not crush a team for losing to an elite. But Bama's pitfall is the loss to Power Digits #72 Florida State. Without it, they're easily in.

IF POWER DIGITS SET THE #CFBPlayoff Power Digits is a simple algorithm that only factors in current season wins & losses as data points to drive a resume rating. Tulane 16, JMU 18, Duke 33 for champion spots Notre Dame & BYU take last at-large, Bama/Texas first 2 out.
