2017 FCS College Football Conference Standings



Last updated: Tuesday, January 9, 2018 - 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
