BY THE NUMBERS

BY THE NUMBERS

The By The Numbers (BTN) Ranking System is a statistical system created by Ben Drury that is used to rank college football teams based on objective metrics rather than polls or opinions. It calculates rankings using factors like team records, strength of schedule, performance scores, big game bonuses, and home/away success, producing a numerical score for each team that allows for consistent and data-driven comparisons. While it is not affiliated with Kicking For Home Track and Field Media, it shares a similar goal of providing clear, analytical, and unbiased rankings for fans and followers of the sport.
