^* Preliminary 2026 is GIE's directional projection for next season, built from this year's final SP+ rating with adjustments for known coaching changes and the 2026 recruiting class. It deliberately omits returning-production signal (PCI) — that piece needs 2026 rosters from CFBD, which typically land mid-July. Full GIE projections replace this column once roster data is loaded.

Where these come from

Generated by GIE — our proprietary prediction engine. Ratings refresh every morning during the season as new game results come in. The ranking you see is the engine's view of every FBS team based on everything it's processed to date.
