2024 Slate Index Power Ratings

2026 20252024

Ratings are reflective of each team’s predicted performance against an average FBS team on a neutral field.

SIR (Slate Index Rating):: The predicted point margin this team would produce against an average FBS opponent on a neutral field. This is the primary power rating in The Slate Index.
OFF (Offense):: The expected points this team’s offense generates against an average FBS defense (Arkansas — DEF rating 28.3). A team with an OFF rating of 34.0 would be expected to score 34 points against that defense.
DEF (Defense):: The expected points this team’s defense allows against an average FBS offense (Louisville — OFF rating 28.5). A team with a DEF rating of 22.0 would be expected to allow only 22 points against that offense.
ST (Special Teams):: The per-game point contribution this team’s special teams unit generates.
SOS (Strength of Schedule):: The average Scoring Margin rating of this team’s FBS opponents, adjusted for home and away games. Higher means a tougher schedule.
