BGS College Football Power Ratings through Week 9

Updated BGS College Football Power Ratings through games October 31st.

The BGS Power Ratings (aka, The Oddsmakers Bible) are the most accurate Ratings in existence for the purposes of predicting game outcomes.

To use the Ratings, simply subtract the home teams Home-Rating from the visting teams Away-Rating. The resulting integer would be assigned to the home team as a pointspread and would reflect the predicted MARGIN of VICTORY.

For example, using the below Ratings in relation to the Illinois @ Minnesota game this weekend;

Subtract the Minnesota Home Rating of 74 from Illinois of 62

(62 - 74 = -12)

The resulting pointspread of -12 is assigned to the home team, Minnesota

Minnesota -12

Conclusion: Minnesota should win this game by 12 points
