Methodology & Standards

All ratings and tools on Blue Chip Analytics are built from publicly available game data sourced via the College Football Data API. Power ratings use a margin-adjusted iterative model updated weekly. Home field advantage ratings are derived from historical margin data with exponential smoothing applied. Weather and travel signals use stadium coordinates and open-source weather APIs.
