How We Rank

Every team gets a 0-100 score on six measures from this season's regular-season games (no preseason): its place among the 32 teams on each one, weighted as below. A team at least two games better in the standings always ranks higher, and ties go to the better point differential. An editor can move a team one spot for something the numbers cannot see yet, such as a starting quarterback injury; the reason is shown next to the team.
