To comply with this, the following teams have been given the minimum rating (for teams with at least one FBS/I-A win) of 1.0 to assess their value as opponents (a smaller number of teams {especially a smaller number of winning teams} indicates stability in these rankings early on; but as the season continues, teams may fall below the minimum as losses continue to outweigh wins):

Akron

Buffalo

Eastern Michigan

Memphis

New Mexico

New Mexico St.

Washington St.

Western Kentucky

It is worth emphasizing that teams with no I-A wins do not make this list, so a team may be added to this list after its first I-A win, even though it's generally reflects better on a team if it is taken off of this list. So of the teams above, two (Akron and Washington St.) are recent arrivals. The above is an example of a preferably small number.
