NOTE: To comply with this,
the following teams have been given the minimum rating of 1.0 to assess
their value as opponents (this is mostly to keep one game from being too much
of a disadvantage for losing to these teams): Florida Atlantic Idaho Kansas Maryland Memphis Middle Tennessee New Mexico UNLV Ole Miss Tulane This
adjustment is only made for teams with at least one FBS (I-A) win, so
there are other teams (5) that rate lower as opponents, and winning that
first game often ends up with the team making this list. Initially, the
number of teams on the list might decrease as strength of schedule
becomes more normalized. However, later in the season, some teams are
added as losses greatly outnumber wins. For example, assuming strength
of schedule is constant, a 1-4 team is less likely to be on the list
than a 1-11 team would be.
