Power Rankings: Panthers reach the top
The Broncos stand pat in the top five, but everyone is now chasing the undefeated Panthers, who are two games clear of four 10-2 teams.
The rankings incorporate offensive, defensive and special-teams metrics, with a focus on yardage per play, adjusted per-possession efficiency (including points per possession) and the rate at which teams gain and prevent first downs. Strength of schedule and error rates (penalties and giveaways) are also factored into the calculation.
Power RankingsPossession data is adjusted to eliminate kneeldowns or other obvious scenarios where the offense is not attempting to advance the football.
