Check out our FCS Power Rankings as well! See the bottom of this page for an explanation/definition of "YUSAG Coefficient". A more mathematical description of our methodology can be found here. Ken Massey's site will be tracking how our model (and dozens of other models) fairs this season, so feel free to check out our progress there.

The YUSAG coefficient is the number of points a given team would be expected to beat the average team on a neutral field. Taking the difference between two teams coefficients gives you how much team A would be expected to beat team B by at a neutral site. For more on the the math behind this model, click here.
NOTE: As of 2018, the model weights are obtained using exponential decay rather than factorials. The current year is given weight 1, the previous year is given weight 1/e, 2 years ago is given weight 1/e^2, and 3 years ago is given weight 1/e^3
