CFB research is live.
We are opening college football as a research surface. Today that means season-summary SP+ ratings, recent results graded against the closing market, pregame ELO, and how wild each game actually got. Read it as context that sharpens your own take, built on the same data discipline as the MLB board.
SP+ Ratings · latest
End-of-season SP+ ratings: one snapshot per team summarizing how the year graded out. Rating is net points per game versus average. Offense and defense split the credit. Season summary and context, not an in-season predictive number.Recent Results
The latest completed games, newest first. Final score, the closing spread and total we captured, pregame ELO for each side, and the excitement index (how much the win probability swung over the game). Bowl and playoff games lead the list.Where CFB stands today
Straight talk: a real staked CFB edge needs point-in-time weekly ratings, the team's strength as it was the morning of kickoff, not a single end-of-season snapshot. SP+ here is the year's final grade, which is honest context but knows things the market did not when the line was set. We are backfilling those weekly ratings now.
So for the moment CFB is research and context, not a graded lean. Use these ratings, results, ELO, and closing numbers to sharpen your own read. When the point-in-time data is in place, CFB joins the board with leans graded at the close, same standard as MLB.
