Power Ratings — 2025 129 teams
Power = points vs. an average D1 team (Off + Def), opponent-adjusted, FBS and FCS on one scale. Point-in-time and calibrated (walk-forward ECE 0.037), but a model rating — not a betting edge.
| # | Team | Div | Conference | Power | Off (higher = better) | Def (higher = better) |

SRS — season 2025 reference
The prior per-season opponent-adjusted-margin rating, kept for comparison. Season-final only (no preseason or point-in-time), which is why the rewrite replaced it as the headline number.
