Power Ratings — 2022 125 teams

Power = points vs. an average D1 team (Off + Def), opponent-adjusted, FBS and FCS on one scale. Point-in-time and calibrated (walk-forward ECE 0.037), but a model rating — not a betting edge.

SRS — season 2022 reference

The prior per-season opponent-adjusted-margin rating, kept for comparison. Season-final only (no preseason or point-in-time), which is why the rewrite replaced it as the headline number.

Independent check — SP+ reference, not an input

SP+ isn’t published for 2022 yet — it needs games to have been played. This fills in once the season starts. It is FBS-only.
