NCAA FOOTBALL 2016: Week EIGHT Review According to SBPI [SportsBoss Power Index]

Here is the third CFB SBPI installment of the 2016 season!  To read more about how I calculate my ratings look back at this entry that also has links to other entries surrounding this topic.

Without further ado here are the Top 25 rankings through Week Eight.  The columns OFF/DEF/TOTAL represent where each team statistically ranks across 128 teams in the FBS; we also included Sagarin’s rankings which can be used as a solid comparison tool followed by each team’s SOS adjusted RATING and RANK:
