College football power rankings are used to assess the relative strength and performance of college football teams. They are created by sports analysts, media outlets, and organizations, and they provide a numerical or ordinal ranking of teams based on various factors. While the specific methodology can vary among different rankings, here are some common factors and methods used in creating these rankings:

Win-Loss Record: Teams with better win-loss records are typically ranked higher. Wins and losses are a fundamental factor in assessing team performance.
Strength of Schedule: The quality of a team's opponents is a significant factor. A team that faces tough opponents and performs well may receive a higher ranking than a team with an easier schedule.
Margin of Victory: Some rankings consider how much a team wins by in its games. Dominating wins may be weighted more heavily than narrow victories.
Recent Performance: Teams' recent performance, typically over the past few games, is often given more weight. A team that has been on a winning streak may be ranked higher than a team that started strong but has since struggled.
Head-to-Head Results: When two teams have played each other, the outcome of their direct matchup may influence their rankings.
Statistical Metrics: Various statistical metrics, such as points scored, points allowed, yards gained, and yards allowed, may be factored into rankings. Advanced statistics like efficiency ratings can also play a role.
Consistency: Consistency in performance is often considered. Teams that consistently perform well may receive a higher ranking than those with more up-and-down performances.
Expert Opinion: Some rankings incorporate subjective opinions from sports analysts and experts who follow college football closely.
