INDEX BY TITLE

I live in the Midwest which is Big Ten country. Once conference play starts virtually every Big Ten game is televised in my region and I commit myself to try and watch all of them. I have three televisions set up as some games are being played at the same time. I have no bias or affiliation to any Big Ten team as I am a lifelong Notre Dame fan (I include ND games in my viewing schedule as well). My comments and reports are qualified only by my love of the game and an extreme commitment to watching and following Big Ten football.

*see the 1-11 post for comments on this week’s rankings

A team’s ranking is determined by the TOTAL column which is the sum of the WIN%, OPP% and ROAD columns.
WIN % represents a team’s winning percentage against FBS (Division I-A) teams only. Games against non FBS opponents are not counted regardless of the outcome. The won-lost column at the far right represents a team’s record against FBS opponents only.
OPP %  represents the winning percentage of a team’s opponents against FBS schools. Again, non FBS games are disregarded.  A team’s game against a particular opponent is not counted in this calculation to prevent a team from being penalized for winning. (Ex: If LSU beats Auburn, the loss is not charged to Auburn when figuring LSU’s OPP %).
ROAD represents the percentage of a team’s games played on the road divided by four. I think road games should be part of the equation but not with the same weight as the other two categories, so I diluted the percentage. Neutral sites are considered half of a road game.
