College sports ratings, rebuilt nightly

The slate, ranked

RankSlate is a results-based computer rating for college sports. It rewards who you beat and where, adjusts for opponent strength, and publishes the same way every day: no polls, no priors you can't see, no hand tuning. Each sport's rating is checked against the best public reference its sport has, and the receipts are on the methodology page.
