In small bits and bytes, the 2023 college football rankings and ratings are starting to come out. ESPN has published its FPI and Bill Connelly of ESPN, his SP+, Kenneth Massey on his Massey Ratings site and just yesterday, Collin Wilson of Action Network his full list as well.
Although I have not updated my pre-season ratings beyond what was posted a few weeks ago, I can now start to compare mine to others and also start to create a consensus of what teams are projected to do in 2023.
This year there are 133 teams, adding Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State to Conference USA.
You are going to have to scroll down quite a way to find Boston College.
The Book has the Eagles at 83rd in terms of average power rating and that is exactly where the aggregate has them as well. BC is rated minus 5.1 points below the average team (provides a consistent way to evaluate ratings), which is last in the ACC.
Back in a few weeks with more pre-season data.
