the football outsiders s&p+ rankings - very good statistical analysis of college football teams that (at least in my experience) is a pretty good reflection of the ncaa landscape after a few weeks of the season
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa2015
summary of the calculation: The components for S&P+ reflect opponent-adjusted components of four of what Bill Connelly has deemed the Five Factors of college football: efficiency, explosiveness, field position, and finishing drives. (A fifth factor, turnovers, is informed marginally by sack rates, the only quality-based statistic that has a consistent relationship with turnover margins.)
tech is ranked 27th overall in this poll after 5 weeks - we moved up 17 spots even though we got totally shredded. now before anybody comments "well it has us high so it must be good and accurate huh?" - this poll kept us very very low throughout the last several seasons before our annual 2nd half of the season collapse. its not perfect, but pretty good
individual rankings for tech
overall s&p+: #27
offense s&p+: #1
defense s&p+: #118
strength of schedule: #9
just something i thought stat-heads might enjoy
