Tiers are fixed neutral-strength bands of the rating, from S-I (77.6+) to C-III (below 23.1), 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.
