Live ratings now use Formula v0.2: uncapped game adjustments and opponent-quality credit for CCG wins. Earlier calculation examples in this catalog describe their original release; archived v0.1 scores remain available.
DATA RELEASE 2025.1 / DRAFT MODEL
The inputs are part
of the score.
The formula weights remain v0.1. This data release makes the 2025 inputs explicit and reproducible for every FBS team. Ratings are draft-model calculations, not official NCAA ratings. All 136 FBS schedules match their provider season records. That is a completeness check, not an independent audit of every source fact.
Corrections to early examples
Some early conversational estimates used narrower rivalry lists or incomplete honors. This release uses the same published registries for every team, symmetrically.
| Example | Correction |
|---|---|
| Texas Tech 2025 | 77.00 → 79.50. Its 23-point playoff loss belongs in the written 17–24-point band (−2), plus −1 for the shutout. Correcting the earlier loss deduction adds 1. The final-AP-ranked Houston road win receives the registry’s ranked rivalry bonus, adding 1.5. |
| Georgia 2025 | The catalog now includes Ellis Robinson IV’s FWAA Freshman Defensive Player of the Year honor (+1). |
| Oregon and Ole Miss | The registry includes Oregon–USC and Ole Miss–Tulane. Contributions remain subject to the season’s −15 / +10 game-category cap. |
Indiana 2025 remains 120.00. Oklahoma State 2025 remains −7.00. No manual adjustment was used to force any team to a target score.
2025 award catalog
Only the named award families in this catalog are scored in the 2025.1 data release. Annual national trophies and the named FWAA freshman awards qualify; coach awards, conference honors, weekly honors, preseason selections and other All-America selectors do not. A shared or duo trophy counts once per team, not once per player. Later announced awards attach to the season they honor.
The Heisman contributes 5 separately. Other included awards contribute 1 each and AP first-team selections 0.5 each; those two categories cap together at 5. Only award families shown below are eligible in this data release.

2025 designated rivalry registry
CFBFR designates the sourced FBS and FBS/FCS rivalry pairs listed here. Applies symmetrically to both teams in 2025 only; not a historical rivalry inception claim.
The source list is a starting point for model design, not a claim that every fan agrees on every rivalry. The registry also retains Notre Dame–Miami and Utah–Wyoming from the project’s initial calibration. The same designation applies to both teams, including a rematch in a bowl or playoff.
