How it works This FBS-specific model blends 712 current-season games with 2,041 games from 2006, 2005, 2004. Current-season influence is 100% for the rating relationship, 42% for home-field advantage, and 59% for the error range. Before week-eight recalibration, probabilities are limited to 5–95% to reflect early-season uncertainty.
