Rogers Poll

The Rogers Poll is a comprehensive ranking of every team/program in the NFL, NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and NCAA Division I Basketball. NCAA Division I Baseball is soon to be added along with the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

The algorithm that computes each team's poll score is an implementation of a philosophy, not one of biases and preconceived notions. That philosophy is one that measures a team for what they have proven with their performance throughout the year. It does not punish them for lacking great tradition, a "sexy" name, or inclusion in a major conference.

The goal of the rankings is to effectively process the complex mosaic of each season, taking into account the entire body of work for each team.
