2016 FCS College Football Conference Standings


Last updated: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 - final ratings

I will be updating this page by each Monday night during the season.
These ratings are based on a mathematical formula that includes several 
factors, including win-loss record, schedule strength, and margin of victory
in games.  The most recent games are counted with more slightly emphasis than
those played earlier in the season.

PF = points for
PA = points against
