2012 Div. I-A (FBS) College Football Power Ratings

Last updated: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 - final ratings

I will be updating this page by each Tuesday night during the season.
These ratings are based on 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.

SS = strength of schedule ranking among all 124 I-A teams in these ratings 
(vs. Division I opponents only)
