I find this chart to be very interesting every year. How it’s devised is if you beat an FBS opponent you get credit for all their wins over their FBS opponents.

Strength of Wins

In this first chart below you can see Strength of Wins. Texas is in the #1 spot this week. Texas has wins over Rice, Alabama, Wyoming, Baylor, Kansas, Houston and BYU and those teams have a total of 28 wins. My chart now grades 8 teams as having credit with a win but their foes have not won a single game vs a FBS foe.

Here is the Complete list of Strength of Wins with rank: Games Played thru 10/31/23/23

Pain of Losses

This next chart we will go over is the Pain of Losses. Here if you lose to an opponent you get credit for all their losses. Akron is on top of this list with a combined 32 foe losses. Akron foe losses include Temple, Kentucky, Indiana, Buffalo, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan and Bowling Green. Unlike the Strength of Wins chart, the Pain of Losses chart does include a loss to an FCS foe. I count that loss a 4 towards the combined foe loss record due to the weakness of the opponent.

Overall Wins and Losses

In this last chart below you can see the overall wins and losses. As you can see the top four teams are Ohio St, Liberty, Florida St and Michigan. At the bottom you have Akron.
