SP+ Power Index

The analytics-forward ranking — efficiency over yardage, opponent-adjusted. Built on Bill Connelly's SP+ framework and per-play efficiency. This ranking ignores raw counting stats in favor of how well a team performed given the opponents they faced. Expect this to look very different from polls — it doesn't care about your record, it cares whether you were efficient on every snap.
