Return to the college football ratings index
Final power ratings for the 1882 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 0.41 points.
Some game locations are unknown and have been estimated. Research continues.
KEY: PR=Final power rating, PS=Pre-season power rating, SOS=strength of schedule.
