How it works This FBS-specific model blends 438 current-season games with 1,199 games from 1932, 1931, 1930. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 30% for home-field advantage, and 47% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
