Overall Rationale: This is a predictive ranking system. Only scores of games and home/away locations are used. This ranking covers all D-1 football (FBS and FCS). It is re-generated each week from 0 and then iterated until ratings stabilize, so past weeks' results are reevaluated from the perspective of the current week. Numerical scores for each team represent how many points above or below average they are. Subtract scores to get an estimated spread between two teams, with 2 points given to the home team.
