📊 FPRI EXPLAINER The Florida Power Rankings Index is an ALGORITHM — not a subjective media poll. And after only two weeks, there are a few things everyone needs to understand: 🏈 PRESEASON GAMES DO NOT COUNT 🏈 Kickoff Classics/exhibitions are NOT part of the current-season résumé 🏈 The PRESEASON RATING is only the starting point 🏈 That preseason influence gradually phases out as 2026 results take over 🏈 Out-of-state opponents Florida teams play are included in schedule-strength evaluation 🏈 A team can win and still move down 🏈 An OPEN team can still move 🏈 A 1-1 team can rank ahead of a 2-0 team 🏈 Head-to-head matters, but it is not the entire formula There is a reason the late Joe Pinkos, whose work we admired and deeply respected, traditionally waited until several weeks into the season before releasing his rankings: early-season sample sizes are small. The FPRI takes a different approach. It publishes from the beginning, using a preseason baseline that progressively disappears as real regular-season data takes over. PRESEASON RATING = starting point PRESEASON GAME = does not count FloridaHSFootball.com does not manually rearrange teams to make the rankings “look right.” We publish what the algorithm produces. #flhsfb @FHS7v7A @FHS7v7ACollLink @HSFBamerica @MikeReno65 @chrislyke @NFHSFBBLITZ @Dwight_XOS @PatB5153 @PrepRedzoneFL @RealNews102 @LawrenceBl83397 @CenFLAPreps @HSSportsFL @offsidepreps @H2_Recruiting @polk_way @football305407 @bighitslive @MISTER_F00TBALL @Prep_Gridiron @Top25PublicHSFB @Andy_Villamarzo @Benjamin_Report
