Method and validation

Local SRS uses 2025 regular-season and postseason results as a prior. It is distinct from CFBD SRS and SP+. Rating gaps are points, not win probabilities.

Missing prior: North Dakota State, Sacramento State.

Historical forecast evidence

2024–2025 (previously inspected) event-time replay uses only earlier game outcomes, with forecast mappings trained through 2023; source revisions were not reconstructed. These seasons have already been inspected; they are not an untouched holdout.

Margin error is mean absolute error; lower is better. Brier score measures probability forecast error, with lower values better. It does not measure calibration alone. This evidence evaluates a separate frozen forecast mapping, not probabilities inferred from the strength scale. Frozen forecast mapping trained through 2023. Retrospective calibration intercept -0.002, slope 1.048 (ideal 0 and 1); not a guarantee for future games.
