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, with no hand tuning and no priors you can't see. Before the season it borrows the polls for a starting line, then fades them out as real games take over. Each sport's rating is checked against the best public reference it has, and the receipts are on the methodology page.
