Two losses and a few close calls created a shift in the latest USA TODAY HSS Super football rankings. While the top teams held firm, it’s a new-look bottom half as the gridiron action heads toward this Friday — where a few major matchups await.
The methodology: the HSS staff creates the Super 25 rankings while considering various data points, including strength of schedule, prospects, the more traditional stats—did the team win or lose?—as well as overall point differentials.
