THE PA POINTS STANDINGS (PAPS) - A different way of thinking about ranking teams ๐งต
TLDR: An opponent adjusted ranking system that awards points for results, similar to the points systems of Hockey and Soccer, but tweaked in a way that suits the complexity of College Football.
NEW: Robert Griffin III says he is โ100%โ interested in the open Baylor head coaching job:
"If Baylor wants to get back to winning and have a university that isnโt just respectable on the football field, but the fans can be proud of, they need people who know what it looks like to win at Baylor."

POST-WEEK 8 TOP 25
โข The top 3 teams last week were on a bye so plenty of shakeup in the top 10!
โข Two 2-Loss teams in the top 10 was a surprise. Oh, and they play each other next!
โข Texas gets a huge bump after the big win, while Ole Miss loses and... goes up??
โข TOP FIVE UCLA AND KENTUCKY!
โข The end of byes is near, but the teams with a game in hand have already closed the gap on the teams with a bye still to come.
โข Full 1-138 Standings + a PAPS explainer below
POST-WEEK 7 TOP 25
โข Down goes #1 again, and #2, and #3, and #4!!!
โข I'm calling this "rewire your brain week". BYU falls will hate this at first glance, but please notice that you are only 3 points back with a game in hand.
โข Alabama being propped up but their #1 ranked SOS.
โข Still a few more byes to come that will even things out (USC is now finally properly placed!)
โข The G6 race is becoming very interesting with UTSA announcing their arrival after a Memphis loss.

@Blutman27 As the sport continues to flatten, the difference between the #9 team and #24 will narrow. Would anybody want to see this Mississippi State, Kentucky, or UCLA team coming into their building in an elimination game? The middle of the pack is getting better.
Sources: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, per sources. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

POST-WEEK 6 TOP 25
โข Down goes #1, except it wasn't Texas, it was Alabama.
โข Notre Dame is your new #1! I am surprised Georgia didn't take the top spot, but they are still shaking off their easy September schedule.
โข Top 10 UCLA and Kentucky plus Top 15 Wake!!!!!!
โข USC continues to be the biggest polar bear in Arlington the formula has ever seen. Thankfully their first bye week has finally arrived.
โข Next week features #1 at #18, #3 at #15, and #6 at #4!

@chrisfallica Would love to know the average spread in for ranked teams so far compared to past years. It seems that a vast majority of big games are in the back half of this season and most of the presumed blowouts have been in the front half.
POST-WEEK 5 TOP 25
โข We have a new #1 team!
โข The cream is beginning to rise, but bye weeks are creating some strange results per ususal.
โข USC continues to be a thorn in the side of the formula, but their two bye weeks will even things out soon.
โข The G6 makes their first appearance of the year with two teams.
โข Nebraska, Pitt, Mississippi State, Kentucky, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Wake Forest are all hoping to keep the dream run going.
โข (#1 vs #4), (#8 vs #9), (#13 vs #15) all happening this week!
