Tiers are fixed neutral-strength bands of the rating, from S-I (74.5+) to C-III (below 25.8), grouped as S Elite, A Strong, B Competitive and C Lower, regardless of conference or division. The bands use the same fixed scale in every season. These bands do not imply a calibrated win probability.

Athletic Vector Rankings combines opponent-adjusted team strength, observed personnel and robust game performance into one neutral-strength ranking. FBS and FCS share the same ordering and display scale, anchored to historical final strengths. Read the method and evidence.

Playoff and Title come from the season simulation, not from the rating in this table — they account for the remaining schedule and the bracket, which a strength rating does not. The field differs by division: the 12-team CFP for FBS, the 24-team FCS playoff for FCS. Shown only above a 1% chance, below which the simulation is reporting too few hits to print.
