College Football SP+ Rankings
SP+ is Bill Connelly's tempo- and opponent-adjusted efficiency metric. It is predictive and forward-looking—focused on the most sustainable aspects of play rather than résumé or head-to-head results. Lucky wins can lower a rating, while strong-but-unlucky losses can raise it. Preseason projections are baked in early and phased out as the season progresses. Learn more from Bill Connelly .
