These ratings include all games through October 17. More information on this system can be found here. Conference rankings are listed at the bottom. Thanks to Ken Massey for the data. These rankings are included on Massey’s ranking composite page.
This season I created a live, animated rankings page just for fun. It updates every three minutes during games and shows how each score affects the ratings and rankings (as if the current score were final).
