Live · current form August · frozen projection

Live ratings as of 2026-10-26. Ranked by median current rating on the shared 0–100 scale. Tier counts use current ratings; 2026 Δ is current rating minus the frozen August projection, averaged across the conference. August projections remain unchanged. Membership follows 2026 alignment. The median is the middle rating, or the average of the two middle ratings for an even-sized league. Independents are flagged as a small two-team group.
