Miami has reached elite-tier consistency — Cristobal's fourth season demands whether the Hurricanes can sustain top-10% FBS power with their current talent class.

NEXT EPISODE · WHAT TO WATCH

Miami’s rise to the top 9% of FBS power ratings means its program is now consistently outperforming most of the nation — a shift that could redefine its long-term identity and expectations. Watch whether the Hurricanes’ upcoming schedule includes enough manageable opponents to let their offensive line’s dominance translate into sustained rushing success.

Source of record: Miami has climbed into dynasty-caliber territory — into the top 9% of FBS by power rating over the last three seasons, up from the top 31% a year ago — a 22-14 record over the last three regular seasons.

Ole Miss has reached elite-tier consistency — Lane Kiffin's sixth season marks the first time the Rebels have held top-5% power rating for three straight years.

NEXT EPISODE · WHAT TO WATCH

Ole Miss’s rise in power rating suggests sustained program-building, but the 27-9 record masks uneven strength of schedule that could limit long-term validation. Watch whether the upcoming slate of non-conference opponents provides a true test of the team’s ability to perform consistently against quality competition.

Source of record: Ole Miss has climbed into dynasty-caliber territory — into the top 5% of FBS by power rating over the last three seasons, up from the top 16% a year ago — a 27-9 record over the last three regular seasons.

Clemson's 29-9 record over three seasons has moved them from top 12% to top 16% in power ratings. Bullish voices point to 2028 QB recruiting, while skeptics cite Paul Finebaum's critical take and growing doubt. Off-field drama remains quiet.

CFB INDEX READ · our read

Clemson has slipped from elite-tier consistency for the first time since 2023 — their 7-6 record marks the first step down from a top-12% tier.

NEXT EPISODE · WHAT TO WATCH

Clemson’s drop in power rating suggests a broader erosion of depth and consistency, not just a dip in wins — the 29-9 record hides uneven performance against weaker opponents. Watch whether Clemson’s schedule allows its run game to face top-tier defenses, as that could reveal if the team’s decline is systemic or situational.

Source of record: Clemson has slipped from dynasty-caliber territory — down to the top 16% of FBS by three-year power rating, from the top 12% — a 29-9 record over the last three regular seasons.

Kansas State has slipped from elite-tier consistency — their first step below the top-14% tier since 2024 raises questions about sustaining a #17 AP finish with a 6-6 record.

Rutgers plummets 30 spots in SP+ as skeptics question Schiano's rebuild

Rutgers fell 30 spots to No. 72 in SP+ — the biggest drop in the Big Ten — with believers pointing to new recruits like Dallas Ward and Saleh Atariwa. Skeptics remain silent, and off-field chatter is minimal.

CFB INDEX READ · our read

Rutgers collapsed 30 spots in SP+ — the steepest drop in the Big Ten this cycle, and Schiano's job is to prove it's not structural with just 5-7 production returning.

NEXT EPISODE · WHAT TO WATCH

Rutgers' drop to No. 72 in SP+ suggests a potential disconnect between preseason hype and on-field execution, especially if early-game adjustments are slow to materialize. Watch how Rutgers handles its first three opponents, particularly in high-pressure moments, to see if the SP+ projection holds or crumbles early.

Source of record: Rutgers enters 2025 rated No. 72 in SP+ (+1.0), down 30 spots from 2024.
