Entropy System 2008 Pre-season Ratings

Pre-season ratings are generated by examining several factors, such as numbers of returning starters, and whether or not a team's QB is returning. We do not divulge our exact formulae...

These numbers may change some as I consult other sources. Please visit again for updates.

Predictions can be made from differences in power rating values (adding 3 points to the home team). However, those would be rough estimates. Our official predictions are obtained through a more complex process. Visit the Entropy home page for more.
