What Blue Chip Analytics Covers

Blue Chip Analytics builds and maintains quantitative models for college football. The focus is on factors that create systematic edges: team strength via power ratings, travel burdens, weather conditions, home field advantage, and divergence between power ratings and market lines.

Methodology & Standards

Schedules, results and market data on Blue Chip Analytics come from the publicly available College Football Data API. Power ratings are a blend: we combine several established public rating systems into a single consensus figure, refreshed weekly. Home field advantage is measured against the closing betting line rather than against our own ratings, then shrunk toward the league baseline so that stadiums with few games are not overstated. Weather and travel signals use stadium coordinates and a commercial weather API.
