The Times ranking uses scores from three factors including margin and opponent quality. It weighs home field advantage, overweighting Ascend games, and assigns 7000 to the top team with others as strength percentages. Florida State and Arizona State show a small gap while Florida and Ohio State show a larger one. Cumulative opponent records and margins exclude games against the ranked team.
