Data Sets and Preprint

The files below contain results from FBS and FCS games, excluding games between FCS and lower-divisional teams. The files contain the outcomes of games through the end of the conference championships, but exclude the outcomes of the bowl games, allowing for comparison of rankings from different models to those used by the BCS. The data were originally obtained from the NCAA website.
