ARGH 2020 Power Ratings

The following are the preliminary ARGH power ratings for the fall 2020 season. Teams included are the 90 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams that are known to be playing a full(ish) fall schedule, plus Air Force, who has a two game schedule against the other service academies. Teams that decide to play a fall schedule later will be added once their scheduling is official. Needless to say, this year has been a challenge, and producing power ratings in this environment is definitely affected.

Big Ten added as of 9-20-20.

The estimated home field advantage is .561, or about 3.30 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.
