About College Football Power Ratings
Our college football power ratings measure the relative performance of all college football teams using 100% objective college football performance stats and sophisticated computational algorithms.
Our proprietary college football power ratings model iteratively analyzes information on every college football game, including team performance, home/away status, margin of victory, and other factors. As each college football season progresses, the college football power ratings model builds a sophisticated, multi-layered web of knowledge: how each team has performed in various game scenarios, the strength of each team's opponents, the strength of each team's opponents' opponents, and so on.
The college football power ratings model computes unbiased, quantitative ratings that assess both general (e.g. Overall college football power ratings) and situational (e.g. Home/Away college football power ratings) performance for every college football team. The system is complex, unbiased, and dynamic; whenever a new college football game result comes in, the power ratings of many teams will typically change as a result.
Like fine wine, college football power ratings tend to improve with age. As more games are played, the potential impact of good luck on a team's results decreases, and the college football power ratings model can make more "connections" between teams in conferences of varying strength.
