How it works This FBS-specific model blends 501 current-season games with 1,476 games from 1955, 1954, 1953. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 33% for home-field advantage, and 50% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
