ARGH 2011 Power Ratings

The following are the ARGH power ratings for the 2011 season, as of October 23. 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 .567, or about 3.81 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.
