B1G+A Top 25 (a B1G+A ranking, not an official poll). Points = 0.50 × ESPN Strength of Record rank + 0.30 × ESPN FPI rank + 0.20 × loss rank (FBS teams ordered by fewest losses, ties share a rank) − 2 × wins over teams in that week's AP Top 25 (final games only). Lowest points ranks first; ties go to the better SOR rank. Inputs are copied from ESPN at publish time (FPI/SOR "last updated" stamp is shown). Published Sundays at noon CT, before the AP and Coaches polls come out. AP, Coaches and CFP rankings are copied from ESPN's rankings API. A column that ESPN has not published for a week shows Pending and fills in on the next refresh.
