How it works This FBS-specific model blends 639 current-season games with 1,713 games from 1970, 1969, 1968. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 39% for home-field advantage, and 56% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
