ARGH 2013 Power Ratings

The following are the initial ARGH power ratings for the 2013 season. Teams included are the 125 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, plus three teams that will be starting FBS play in 2014.

The estimated home field advantage is .579, or about 4.21 points for an average game. The power ratings represent the chance that the team in question has of beating an average FBS team without regard to location.
