How we rank

These rankings are computed, not voted on. After the week's games settle, the formula re-ranks all 30 teams from verified results: season record counts 40%, last-10 form 25%, point differential per game 20%, and strength of schedule — the combined record of the teams you have actually played — 15%.

Every number printed here comes from the league's results feed: the record, the form line and the differential beside each team are the inputs themselves, so the ranking can be checked against them. Movement arrows compare this edition with the previous one.

Early in a season the samples are small and the list moves fast — that is the math being honest. The full method lives on our How We Rank page. These are Previously's rankings: an argument made from verified numbers, argued in the open.
