College Football Rankings
This page holds up-to-date team rankings based on my implementation of the logistic regression/Markov chain (LRMC) model originally described by Kvam and Sokol and adapted for college football by Kolbush and Sokol.
The LRMC Score represents the strength rating of a team based solely on their resume of margins of victory and loss this season.
*These ratings reflect a score of Western Michigan defeating Michigan 12-7 on Saturday, September 5, 2026.
