The Massey Ratings "transitive path" tool.
https://masseyratings.com/path?s=cf2022

I used it on Ohio State after the 2014 season (when they won the first FBS "playoff" title), because the Buckeyes lost an early-season game to Virginia Tech that year. It indicated that some lowest-division football team, which only won a couple games that year against other tiny schools, would beat Ohio State by something like 100+ points. LOL! I mean, if transitive paths were taken seriously at all -- e.g., Team A beat Team B by 7 points, and Team B beat Team C by 10 points, so Team A would beat Team C by 17 points if they played.

Edit: That's not how Massey ranks teams, of course. It's just a "fun" tool from the website.
