College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings are produced by the selection committee responsible for assigning teams to the national championship semifinal games and New Year's Six bowl games. FEI Ratings represent opponent-adjusted per possession scoring efficiency. Win Differential Ratings represent strength of record as the difference between actual wins and expected wins against the schedule for an elite team (EWD), a good team (GWD), and an average team (AWD). Record Splits include records against FEI top-10 (v10), top-20 (v20), top-30 (v30), top-40 (v40), top-50 (v50), top-60 (v60), and against all other opponents (vO).
