Team Strength

What does it mean?

A team's total strength is determined based on the strength of their opponents up to the current week of the season, as well as how the team performed against those opponents. If a team is playing an opponent who has lost very few games and managed to win by a good amount, they will get a much higher strength score from that opponent. If they are playing an opponent who has won very few of their games up to the point of the matchup, then they would get a very low strength score from that opponent. FCS teams do not add to the opponent strength score at all.
