Power ratings

Every team,
on one scale.

A rating is a team's strength expressed in points. Subtract one rating from another and you have the model's projected margin for that game on a neutral floor — the same number the predictions board is built from.

Reading a rating

Ratings are fit by ridge regression on this season's scoring margins, so a team's number accounts for the quality of its opponents rather than its record alone. Early in the season the fit is pulled toward a preseason projection and released as real results accumulate. Football rates FBS and FCS teams on a single scale, because FBS schedules include FCS opponents and those games only carry information if both sides are rated.

The scale is points. A team rated +51 is projected to beat a team rated +45 by six points on a neutral floor. Home advantage is added on top when a game is not played at a neutral site.

Ratings are refit hourly as new results land, so a team's position can move mid-week.
