CFP's Season Preview Studied By Millions
Over 3 million people have studied our season previews in the last 3 years and an ever-increasing multitude of newspapers, sportswriters and bloggers have reported our projections. Why all the interest? Our previews are based on the CCR's proprietary formula that 'plays' every game and reconciles wins and losses across the board. As a result, we can present the projected win-loss margin of every game, the record of every team, the projected standings of every conference, and realistic bowl projections based on BCS selection procedures and bowl invitation guidelines. Everything is connected to the computer's result of playing the games - there is no independent guesswork. We plainly show you what games your favorite team should win, and which games it needs to win to improve on its anticipated finish. It's the most unbiased forecast you can get as it draws exclusively from hard numbers such as each team's recent history, returning experience, and a mathematical comparison to the teams on its schedule. It is then up to the teams, their players and coaches to live up to the high expectations or overcome the documented weaknesses. CollegeFootballPoll.com is heading into its 13th season on the internet and our featured Congrove Computer Rankings are entering their 19th season.
