2007-2008 season 2008-2009 season
UPDATED Wednesday, Jan 14th, 2009
My computer rankings use only wins (against Bowl Subdivision teams) and losses (all losses) to calculate how "good" a win is and how "bad" a loss is. Score, location, MoV, and the like are not considered.
This system is NOT trying to find out which team is "better" than the other, just what each team has accomplished to-date.
With this system, every team starts out with a rating of 1200 points and they gain or lose points based on their wins and losses
Underdog wins and favorties losing will change the rating greatly, while beating cupcakes or losing to a heavy favorite will change little if at all.
The only variable used in my formulas are wins and losses. Thats it. The score is never taken into account.
I have slightly changed the formula I used last year and I hope it provides more accurate results.
