Ask about the numbers

Ask the Index answers questions about this college football season in plain words: who has the toughest road left in a conference, who wins a game, which quarterbacks rate highest, how a team or player is doing. Every answer shows the raw numbers (records, points, yards, stat lines) next to our own calculations (the Team Index, Power, Résumé, win chances, the Player Index), and says exactly which teams or players it read your question as.

How it works

Our own code does every calculation, with the same math as the rest of the site. An AI model only works out which calculation you asked for and then explains the table in two or three sentences; before you see them, our code checks that every number it wrote is in the table, and uses a plain sentence of its own if one is not. If a name could mean more than one team or player, it asks which one instead of guessing.

What it won't do

It only answers questions about this season's numbers. It does not do betting, injuries, news, recruiting or opinions about people, and it never makes up a stat we don't have. It is in beta: the AI's free daily allowance can run out, and then the example questions still work. Questions are stored for 30 days to improve the answers, without IP addresses; see the Privacy page.
