Power Rated Sports SPI College Football Rankings

For the remainder of the season, I will be releasing our weekly SPI (Schedule Performance Index) Rankings for college football. The SPI measures each FBS team against their season schedule, and how they have performed against it. It takes into effect games against Power 5 opponents, Group of 5 opponents, FCS opponents, and also measures differential of both victory and loss. It also grades based on a higher total for road wins than home wins, and takes into account how many games a team has played against a ranked opponent throughout the current season. Here is how the first SPI rankings of the season shook out:
