How it works This FBS-specific model blends 399 current-season games with 1,334 games from 1940, 1939, 1938. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 29% for home-field advantage, and 44% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
