These computer ratings for Division I football teams were devised by
Jeff Sagarin, a 1970 MIT mathematics graduate. The rating is a
numerical measure of the team’s strength. A hypothetical victory
margin is determined by comparing the rating of the two teams after
adding 2.60 points to the home team. This home edge will vary during
the season. Only Division I games are counted for rating and schedule
strength during the season. *FCS team.
The recent column is score-based and weights recent play more
heavily than earlier games. Its effect will become more pronounced the
longer a season goes if a given team happens to have an upward or
downward trend. For more Sagarin ratings, go to http://www.usatoday.com.
