How it's built

Lines

Where the betting market puts each team, fit from every spread on our boards. A line's weight halves every 2 weeks. Lines count up to 65% of a team's rating; a team with one line gets half of that. With no line yet, a team gets 70% credit for its results. No votes count.

Results

A rating from every FBS final: margin against who you played, capped at 24 points, 2.5 points for home field, FCS opponents pooled. Points above an average FBS team. 1.6 yards of the field per point.

Partners

Founding partner seats are open. Their ratings get a column here, credited and linked.
