ARGH 2011 Power Ratings

The following are the initial ARGH power ratings for the 2011 season. Teams included are the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, plus three teams that will be starting FBS play in 2012.

The estimated home field advantage is .566, or about 3.65 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.

Please note that I cannot comply with requests to send copies of these ratings out via e-mail. You can thank AOL's sledgehammer approach to spam prevention for this. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
