The rules
Nobody's opinion moves a team.
Most rankings start with what someone thinks. Ours start with what happened on the field, and stop there.
No media votes
No poll voters, no pundits, no committee. Polls show up only as small comparison tags, and they never feed a rating.
No corporate input
No network, sponsor or sportsbook decides who matters. No odds, no lines, no paid placement.
Just the data
Every number comes from games played this season, adjusted for every opponent and every site. No preseason guesses, no recruiting stars.
The sports
Pick your sport.
Each sport gets its own index, built on the same rules, with the numbers that sport actually offers.

Show your work.
Every rating can be traced back to the scores. The full method is public.
Power
How well a team plays: points scored and allowed, adjusted for every opponent and where the game was played.
Résumé
How hard its record would be to match against the same schedule: who it beat, who it lost to, and where.
The index
Half power, half résumé. It updates every Sunday afternoon after Saturday's games, and every prediction is graded against the final score.
