Excel H Sports College BEYOND THE POWER Football rankings September 14 2026

This year will be the same as always; we start the year off with the Top 25 and then after each week add teams to our BELOW THE 25 remove teams.

Our rankings throughout the year will be based on strength of schedule.

We have our own in-house method of determining strength of schedule.
