is a list of the best teams as a merit of their wins to their opponents and a demerit of losses to their opponents based on the opponents' classifications.
It's why the Notre Dame loss wasn't AS bad as people think since it was a G5 loss, and not a Tier 4 or an FCS loss. The points lost was only -2 instead of -4.
But also the top teams are essentially 'tied' in points if you look at the bottom list and points earned.
