Hi all, thanks for letting me join your board. I have developed my own formula-based college football rankings since 2023, and lately I have started following Division III football more closely after major college football stopped being fun. So instead of limiting it to FBS/FCS teams, I have started rating all NCAA and NAIA teams together. The combined version is on my site, but you may find D3-only rankings below, taking into account scores through week 3. As we approach playoff time, I will also share rankings that omit margin of victory in order to see how closely they align with NPI.

Love it or hate it, feel free to ask in case you have any questions.
And here is the conference ranking based on a simple average of team ratings. Of course, the NESCAC is really anyone's guess until one of their schools plays a postseason game.

Your model seems to be the harshest i seen for Mount Union

Other models likely put more stock in 2025 data at this stage. Mine is more fluid while still using 2025 as a baseline, which is largely phased out after a team's 5th game and completely removed after the 8th game.
It will be interesting to see if Mount Union will round into form by the time they face Ohio Northern and Baldwin-Wallace, which won't be for several more weeks.
How are you able to rank the various NESCAC teams since they haven't played outside their conference in years?

I have no special way. I simply based them on the 2025 D3 average. The reason most teams in the conference have a positive rating is because of new programs in the rest of D3 that automatically got slotted into the bottom of the rankings at the start of the season, plus 2026 interdivisional results affecting other teams. Once a NESCAC team has played a postseason game, you may see the whole conference move up or down the rankings as a group.

Thanks. That explains Azusa Pacific and Whittier.
Here is the latest ranking after games of week 4. NCC and UWRV swapped places again based on transitive effect, despite both having a bye week, and Christopher Newport launched into the top 5 with a massive win over Susquehanna.

The top 10 upsets of the week again feature Schreiner and Alvernia. Schreiner is proving itself to be far more capable than a typical first-year program, so they are quickly losing the dead weight of their preseason rating.

Quite a few good ranked games this weekend, would be interested to see how you model drops the losers versus the voters
I was curious whether Saint John's might actually pass North Central for #1 based on their slightly better home win against Bethel (by 26 points relative to the 23 in the Bethel/NCC opener). In a surprise twist (to me, anyway), the Johnnies actually dropped by one spot as Whitewater climbed six places by knocking off the defending champs. River Falls fell only one spot, which is probably fair anyway; if bookies had to post a line for a hypothetical UWRV-SJU matchup on a neutral field, the Falcons would likely still have the edge.

Whitewater and Washington obviously had the most consequential wins among the top 10 upsets. The "biggest upset" is misleading; Pat and Greg mentioned on last week's ATN podcast that Saint Francis returns maybe six players from their 2025 roster when they were in FCS, and this game against Hiram was only their second of the season.

And finally, here is additional confirmation that it's the WIAC and everyone else in terms of conference supremacy. We might actually see the Centennial drop further because Johns Hopkins's preseason rating, which did a lot to prop up the conference average, continues to diminish week by week.
