Here you will find rankings based on the Bradley-Terry method for NCAA FBS (Division 1-A) football and Division 1 basketball. Two separate versions are compiled for each: one that ignores margin of victory entirely, and one that modifies the basic Bradley-Terry method to include margin of victory.
2011 system update: To reduce the predicted win probability to realistic levels (particularly for an unbeaten team against a team with one or two losses), the fictional game is now given triple weight. Additionally, home field advantage is now considered as part of the rating system as a multiplicative factor to the home team's effective rating. These updates have not been rolled into older ratings as of right now but are in effect for the 2011 football season and will be for 2011-12 basketball.
