WCE’s 2019 Just Another CFB Power Ranking: Post-Week 5

Tuesday, October 1, 2019, 9:00 AM by Gary Segars

Everybody seems to have their own set of numbers to go by to determine their own top 25. Whenever one team gets praised, fans of other teams generally clap back with “WELL -insert team here- HASN’T PLAYED ANYBODY YET.” So, I decided to say screw it, and came up with my own set of CFB rankings.

Wins and Losses don’t tell the whole story, so those don’t matter in these rankings. I put together a formula that takes the average overall ranking of these specific statistics:

  • 4 Year Recruiting Rankings (yes, talent matters)
  • Turnover Margin (not worried about luck, etc. just numbers)
  • 3rd Down Conversion %
  • Opponent 3rd Down Conversion %
  • Points Per Play Margin
  • Yards Per Point Margin
  • Red Zone Attempts Margin
  • Basic Strength of Schedule

Per ESPN’s Bill Connelly, the creator of the SP+ analytics system, the 5 main points that determine whether a team wins or losses a game are explosiveness, efficiency, field position, finishing drives, and turnovers. The stats I’ve chosen are some basic numbers that can give an idea of just how good these teams are. None of these numbers are weighted, so it gives an idea of how dominant some of the G5 teams really have been in numbers that matter.

So, without further ado, here are the 2019 WCE Power Rankings after Week 5.
