College Football Combo Ranking Index #1

It is my pleasure to introduce our latest means of measuring the success rate of every team in FBS football. The newest measuring stick (or algorithm for you complete nerdists) is referred to as our Combo Ranking Index, or CRI.
Here's how this works. Throughout the season, I will take every teams PRS ranking (our own ranking system separate from the playoff committee, AP, or USA Today polls), and divide that number by games played, which will then be averaged in with our QWI (Quality Win/Loss Index) number. This combined result will give us the new CRI, which can then be leveled up against the playoff committee rankings every October on moving forward. This will give a complete overview that will balance out every teams weekly performance (PRS) with the quality of the win or loss (QWI).
As it stands, we have one specific imbalance between the CRI and the playoff committee ranking, or the College Football Playoff rankings this week. Oklahoma State ranks 2nd in the CRI, while the rank 6th in the CFB Playoff Rankings. Alabama, as of now, ranks 5th, and would be the first team out, while Iowa (5th in the CFP) ranks 6th, and would be the 2nd team out. Here is our new CRI, ranking every team from 1-128. Starting in 2016, I will expand this system to FCS football as well.
