@KalebGoodrich @on3 You make a great point. On the website we do have an avg points per game column that adjusts for a bye week. https://t.co/lmHKujriK1. Our overall standings list what teams have accumulated the most points in order.

@Pengas_Khan @thomas11828117 @on3 The strength of schedule points are factored on a weekly basis. LSU is currently #49 so each team that has beaten LSU gets +2 points for that win regardless of when they played them. If LSU gets into the top 30 then all teams who had beat LSU would get that 2 points changed to 3

[CFBMerit @CfbMerit]

@Pengas_Khan @thomas11828117 @on3 Yep! 4 points for the win, 2 for winning on the road, 3 points for OU being in the top 30 and 1 for OU being a P4 team.

@jaylenkwilliams @on3 #36! Love what Navy is doing this year. While they are undefeated (!!) they haven't gotten as many strength of schedule or quality win points like these other teams have. Check out our full standings and click on Navy to get the full point breakdown. https://t.co/19DsoRXi64

@amoots @CFBONFOX No Ohio St hate here! If you look at our previous week standings, Ohio St is right there at the top. Since this is a point based metric where points are gained for each win, bye weeks don’t gain any point values. Fully expect to see Ohio state back at the top next week!
