CFP Playoff Ranking Tool
How the Committee Ranks Teams
The College Football Playoff selection committee separates otherwise comparable teams by considering:
- 1
Strength of schedule
Shown here as the Slate Index SOS (games played).
- 2
Head-to-head competition
Who won when two contenders met (Head-to-Head tab).
- 3
Comparative outcomes of common opponents
Without rewarding margin of victory (Common Opponents tab).
- 4
Other relevant factors
Like key players or coaches who were unavailable and affected a team's season, or likely will affect its postseason. Not measured statistically.
Ranks 1–25 are the committee rankings (Week 11). Ranks 26–50 (SI) are the next 25 teams by Slate Index rating. Click any team to see their résumé.
