2026 FCS College Football Conference Standings
Last updated: Monday, September 28, 2026 - thru games of September 27
I will be updating this page by each Monday night during the season.
These ratings are based on a mathematical formula that includes several
factors, including win-loss record, schedule strength, and margin of victory
in games. The most recent games are counted with more slightly emphasis than
those played earlier in the season.
PF = points for
PA = points against
* = ineligible for postseason play
** = ineligible for conference championship and postseason play
