The following are the final ARGH power ratings for the 2012 season. Teams included are the 124 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, plus one team that will be starting FBS play in 2013.
The estimated home field advantage is .579, or about 4.21 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.
