Not an official ranking.This is this site's own power index, worked out by its model from play-by-play data. It is not the AP poll, the coaches poll or the playoff committee's list, and it will not match them.

No team matches that.
Overall is the average of a team's offense and defense scores. The order comes from points added per play and how often plays work, each compared with what that opponent usually does. Garbage time is left out. Schedule ranks run from the hardest (1st) to the easiest, by the average index score of a team's opponents. It is early in the season, so one lopsided game still moves a team a long way. Pick any team to open its season page.
