This website offers an alternative ranking system for College Football FBS Div I as compared to the CFP Ranking and numerous other ranking systems. It is based on the premise that a team’s ranking should be based on current performance and not on past performance or current potential. This system uses two measurable factors of performance which are score margin and current opponent ranking to determine the points earned each week and thereby the team’s ranking earned for that week.
The data presented on this website may not be used in any manner to attempt to or to actually receive financial gain. The website developer welcomes comments that detail deficiencies of this ranking system or that explain the benefits of this system. The user shall not provide any comments that are vulgar or illegal in any way and should not take any action that is disruptive to the proper functioning of the website and its hosting server.
Conferences are allowed to use this system to rank their teams for the purpose of determining which teams qualify for a playoff or championship game. If that is the case, the developer believes that it would be appropriate to publicly acknowledge the contribution of the Superior Performance Ranking System (SPRS). In like manner the developer of the SPRS gives recognition to the following website as being the source of college football scores used by SPRS:
