Excerpt:
The model comprises four major components:
1. The last four seasons of performance on offense, defense and special teams, with the most recent season counting most;
2. Information on offensive and defensive returning starters, with special consideration given to a team returning its starting quarterback or gaining a transfer quarterback with experience;
3. A four-year average recruiting ranking of four systems (ESPN, Scouts, Rivals and Phil Steele);
4. And head coaching tenure.
These four components interact and are assigned different weights depending on the team to produce preseason FPI.
