Realignment impact uses current tracked membership, state/time-zone footprint, and conference directory churn. Scenario modeling still lives in the Realignment Tool.

Conference membership is season-aware when a season standings page exists. Otherwise the comparison falls back to current FBS members and marks affected categories as partial where appropriate.
Power uses team ratings when available and final ranking proxies when ratings are sparse. Resume uses completed games, with non-conference records separated from same-conference games.
Recruiting uses team recruiting ranking points/ranks. NFL pipeline uses draft picks from the selected draft year, including a first-round count.
SP+, FPI, transfer portal net movement, returning production, active NFL player counts, and NFL salary data are not shown unless they exist in CFBTrack source data for this route.
FAQ
What is the CFBTrack Conference Index?
It is a 0-100 composite built from available power, depth, resume, efficiency, schedule, recruiting, NFL Draft, and postseason components. Missing categories are excluded instead of scored as zero.
Are conference records based on current alignment?
The default comparison uses season-based conference membership when standings data exists, then falls back to current FBS membership with partial coverage labels.
Do bowl games count?
Postseason results are shown as their own component and record split so regular-season strength and bowl/CFP performance can be compared separately.
Are FCS games included?
Raw records include completed games available in the schedule feed. The page separates FBS and non-FBS splits when opponent classifications are present.
