The following are the preliminary ARGH power ratings for the fall 2020 season. Teams included are the 76 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams that are playing a full(ish) fall schedule, plus Air Force, who has a two game schedule against the other service academies. Needless to say, this year has been a challenge, and producing power ratings in this environment is definitely affected.
The estimated home field advantage is .564, or about 3.45 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.
