FCS Meta Power Rankings
Authors: Andrew Block
Abstract:
This visualization shows the top 10 FCS schools and their meta ranking through week 7. This table shows several fields to display a dynamic amount of information such as:
- Team (team name and conferences they belong to)
- Record (win/losses)
- Outcomes (week by week)
- MR (a proprietary meta ranking I created)
- +/- (meta ranking change from last week)
- DR (DRating index score)
- CFP (College Football Poll index score)
- VS (Versus Sports Simulator index score)
- SOS (strength of schedule)
I used color schemes to help signify certain rankings and chose those colors carefully to be respectful to people who are color-blind. I added team logos into the visualization using gt_img_rows from gtExtras, and the conferences the teams belong to using a custom stack function. There is a legend at the bottom with references to the sites where any index scores were pulled. I think this takes a simple table and beautifies it to make it more engaging for the averages sports consumer while telling a story of where the teams have started and are now.
