is used in college football.)

Current home field advantage is: -0.07
MAE for games to date: 10.03
These ratings fit to produce 0.68 of the correct winners.
Pct when predicted MOV is above -0.15: 0.68
A favored away team rarely loses when favored by more than -6.32.
A favored home team rarely loses when favored by more than 6.48.
Above are some statistics about the ratings model. The MAE is the mean absolute error of the ratings fit to all the games
played to date. This number is usually
larger than you think it should be, but it's a good measure of how variable (or maybe "predictable") game outcomes can be.
Immediately below that, you can see how this best fit does in retro-predicting (there's a better word I'm sure) just the game
winners. My favorite stats are the last two--when the home or away team is favored by the given margin, they only lose 30 percent
of the time. This is the kind of information that people in the sports wagering world might find useful.
