By Andis Kaulins

ADVERTISEMENTS

THE YPPSYS DIVISION I-A FCS COLLEGE FOOTBALL RATINGS for the 2008 SEASON
(after the 12th week of play)

THE YPPSYS DIVISION I-A FCS COLLEGE FOOTBALL RATINGS

(This is after the 12th week of play. NAYPPA (net average yards per play advantage) is calculated according to CFBSTATS.COM. Schedule Difficulty is the ranking according to Massey Ratings. One-tenth of the schedule ranking is substracted from the NAYPPA of Division I-A FCS schools. For Division I-AA FBS the multiple is .15. For Division II and Division II schools the multiple is .20. Note that if a team allows 5 or more yards per play on defense an additional .1 is substracted from the rating; if 6 yards per play or more are allowed,then .2 is subtracted. MOV means margin of victory ranking according to the Massey Ratings, but we do not use it here in the calculations.
