The following are the preliminary ARGH power ratings for the 2007 season as of September 4. Teams included are the 120 Division 1-A teams, including provisional member Western Kentucky.
The estimated home field advantage is .577, or about 3.93 points for an average game. The power ratings represent the chance that the team in question has of beating an average Division 1-A team without regard to location.
