There are no accounts and no ad trackers. The only personal information we collect is your email address, and only if you sign up for the newsletter.
The site remembers a few choices in your browser's local storage so they're there next time: the teams you last compared, your filters and chart settings, and any Top 25 you build. That information stays in your browser. It isn't sent to us, and you can clear it any time by clearing your browser's site data.
Images you make with the share tools are created in your browser. We don't upload or keep them.
When you sign up for the newsletter, your email address goes to Beehiiv, the service that sends it. We use it only to send the newsletter. Every issue has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list.

Projected scores come from SP+ offense, defense and special teams, plus 2.5 points for the home team. With betting lines on (the switch is in the footer), each card shows the spread and our pick against it, saved before kickoff. Open Details for the full read, or Head to head for every stat.
Every projection here is the one we had before kickoff: the SP+ pick, margin and projected score were saved from that week's ratings and never changed. "Off by" is how far the final margin landed from the projected margin.
Straight-up picks: did our pick win? Big Al's pick is the team at least two of SP+, PRIME and Elo pick. Big Al and SP+ picks are saved from that week's ratings before kickoff and never changed, and tracking started in Week 8. Elo picks use each game's pregame Elo, so they're honest all the way back to Week 1. We don't back-fill picks with today's ratings, because today's ratings already know the results.
Each column is that week's ranking. Arrows compare the latest poll to the week before. NR means not ranked.
Rankings come from cfbtrack.com. Week 1 is the preseason poll; each later week is the poll released before that week's games.
SP+ vs. payroll is the average, across a conference's teams with an NIL valuation (positive means its teams play better than their payrolls predict). Blue-chip ratio is the share of all its rostered players who were 4- or 5-star recruits.
Ranks are national, out of 138 FBS teams. A top-10 team also counts toward the top 25 and top 40, and everyone outside the last cutoff counts as weak. Open a conference to see its teams.
Seeds 1–4 get first-round byes. Seeds 5–8 host the first round.
The columns on the right show where each team would be seeded under the other ratings. A dash means out.
Three ratings look at a team in three different ways. Big Al's pick is the team at least two of them like.
Each row puts one team's unit against the unit it faces, by national rank out of all FBS teams. An edge is a gap of 25 spots or more.
Ratings: SP+ via CFB Update; PRIME via primecfb.com. Box and play stats computed from CollegeFootballData.com play data (via the public cfbfastR files), FBS games only for scoring. Rushing yards here exclude sacks, so they run higher than official totals. Ranks are out of 138 FBS teams.
