Buckalew's College Football Ratings
The preseason ratings are based on winning percentage, returning starters,
offensive and defensive yardage, schedule strength, and historical winning
percent (10 years). After the season begins, adjustments are made to a
team's rating based on the point differential and the
predicted point spread, such that a team is rewarded for playing well against a
good team and penalized for not playing well against a bad team. A diminishing
returns factor is included to deter rating inflation by teams who run up the
score.
Over the past three years, the poll is 74% accurate picking winners of all
games, and 57% accurate against the spread in games the computer selects.
These predictions are for entertainment purposes only.
