Just a quick note before I get to the ranking. F&P+ was the old way to refer to the system. The new abbreviation is "F/+" so I will be using that in place of F&P+ from here on out.
Latest F/+ Top 10 (updated today 11/13/2019)
1. OSU, 55.1%
2. Alabama, 54.1%
3. LSU, 53.5%
4. Clemson, 53.1%
5. Georgia, 52.0%
6. Oklahoma, 50.4%
7. Wisconsin, 49.6%
8. Utah, 49.4%
9. Penn St., 49.4%
10. Auburn, 46.3%
21. Navy, 39.0%
22. Notre Dame, 38.8%
Some notes:
Triple Option teams don't really fit the model as well as other teams that run more prototypical offenses so take Navy's rating with some additional uncertainty.
Despite Alabama's head to head loss, the system still thinks Alabama has performed better on the season as a whole vs their schedule than LSU has vs theirs. As a result, if Alabama were to face LSU in a hypothetical rematch this week, F/+ would have Alabama as the slight favorite.
Notre Dame way down in the 20s in this ranking kind of fits the mold of Brian Kelly's peaks and valleys in F/+ over the years. He'll have a 1-2 year run in and or around the top 10 and then have a head scratching season way down in the 20s-30s. At the end of the day it all averages out to somewhere around 15th over his career.
His best three year run is still 2010-2012. The season isn't over yet though, so ND can still move up the rankings with a good showing over their final three games.
