How it works This FBS-specific model blends 295 current-season games with 606 games from 1919, 1918, 1917. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 23% for home-field advantage, and 37% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
