A full national view, not just the teams already dominating the conversation.
TruthLens Gridiron Power Index
The most transparent college football ranking system ever built is moving from concept into private testing.
TGPI Testing Mode — private while we train and backtest the system.
Public visitors can follow the launch page. The testing lab is restricted to the same Netlify Identity admin role used by TruthLens Mission Control.
Use the same TruthLens admin login that unlocks Trust Mission Control. Public visitors cannot see TGPI test scores, calculator inputs, or private Why Engine output.
Built for fans who want the reasoning, not just the number.
TGPI is being designed as a ranking system you can inspect. Every rating should point back to football evidence and a consistent evaluation method.
How strong a team looks based on current performance and underlying football signals.
What a team has earned based on wins, opponents, road tests, and results.
A future-ready probability layer for the playoff race and national title picture.
Clear labels for how strong or uncertain a ranking is.
See who is rising, who is sliding, and what changed from the prior week.
Each team gets a plain-English explanation for why it sits where it does.
Evaluation built around evidence and consistency, not reputation.
"Why is this team ranked here?"
A ranking should be able to explain itself.
TGPI is built to answer one question: "Why is this team ranked here?"
Rankings are based on evidence, transparency, football fundamentals, and consistent evaluation, not reputation. The goal is to make rankings more useful, more inspectable, and easier to debate honestly.
