2019 FCS College Football Power Ratings
Last updated: Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - final ratings
I will be updating this page by each Monday night during the season.
These ratings are based on a mathematical formula which includes several
factors, including win-loss record, schedule strength, and margin of victory
in games. The most recent games are counted with more slightly emphasis than
those played earlier in the season.
The strength of schedule ranking shown here is vs. all opponents and is the
ranking among the 126 FCS teams in these ratings only. To see the strength of
schedule ranking among all 256 Div. I teams, please refer to the overall
ratings or alphabetical ratings pages.
The strength of schedule ranking reflects only games played so far during the
season, not future opponents.
SS = strength of schedule ranking among all 126 FCS teams in these ratings
(1 is strongest and 126 is weakest)
** = inelgible for conference championship or postseason play
