How the Bully Index works

The Bully Index rewards beating good teams and punishes losing to bad ones. Only games between two FBS teams count. This page covers games played through week 3 (Sep 14-20).

Scores settle as the season goes on. An early win over a team that collapses loses value, and a loss to a team that keeps winning stops hurting. The gold line marks the 12-team playoff field, the second line the top 25. Read the full explanation.

Bully score = (assets − liabilities) ÷ games playedTies break on win margin. Bully record shows assets and liabilities as a record, for example 60-0.

AssetsFor every win, the opponent's wins. Beat a team that goes 10-2 and that win is worth 10.
LiabilitiesFor every loss, the opponent's losses. Lose to a team that finishes 2-10 and that loss costs 10.
