Return to the college football ratings index
Final power ratings for the 1870 season are listed below. There is insufficient data to adequately calculate a home field advantage. I have used a constant home field advantage value of .556 and a root for determining point spreads of 1.294 which match a long-term analysis.
The average home field advantage for this year is 0.74 points.
KEY: PR=Final power rating, PS=Pre-season power rating, SOS=strength of schedule.
| Rank | Team | PR | PS | SOS | PF | PA | Wins | Losses | Ties | Pct | Conference |
| 1 | Princeton | .614 | .376 | .107 | 6.00 | 2.00 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1.000 | Independent |
| 2 | Rutgers | .407 | .336 | .252 | 4.00 | 4.50 | 1 | 1 | 0 | .500 | Independent |
| 3 | Columbia | .149 | .204 | .345 | 3.00 | 6.00 | 0 | 1 | 0 | .000 | Independent |
