FEI Ratings
:: 2020 :: 2019 :: 2018 :: 2017 :: 2016 :: 2015 :: 2014 :: 2013 :: 2012 :: 2011 :: 2010 :: 2009 :: 2008 :: 2007
FEI Ratings projections are based on weighted five-year FEI ratings. FEI ratings (FEI) represent the per-possession scoring advantage a team would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent. OFEI Offense ratings (OFEI) and DFEI Defense ratings (DFEI) represent the per-possession scoring advantages projected for each unit. Remaining columns for each team detail the number of FBS opponents scheduled (G), mean wins projection (MW) against scheduled FBS opponents, strength of schedule (SOS) calculated as the average number of losses a team two standard deviations better than average would be expected to have against the schedule, the percent likelihood of winning a conference championship (Conf), and the percent likelihood of earning a College Football Playoff berth (CFP).
Ratings and supporting data are calculated from the results of non-garbage possessions in FBS vs. FBS games.
