How this is calculated
CFB Intel combines opponent-adjusted team strength, unit efficiency, current performance, and special teams. Ratings represent neutral-field strength. Home-field advantage is applied separately; missing inputs are excluded and the available group weights are renormalized. CFB_INTEL_MODEL_2026_V1.
