How it works This FBS-specific model blends 542 current-season games with 1,615 games from 1963, 1962, 1961. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 35% for home-field advantage, and 52% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
