Season Preview

Since 1993, the computer has picked the winner in 74.7% of games played.
In 10 BCS seasons, the preseason forecast has picked 10 BCS title game participants.

Season Preview: Now In Progress
Our much-anticipated annual Season Preview is in development. Between now and the opening game kick-off, CFP will present a multitude of valuable information to help you get ready for another season of college football. The focal point is our exclusive CCR Top 120, and team schedules predicted computer point differentials of each game. We also provide projections of every conference title game matchup, conference winners, major bowl matchups, the BCS Title Game pairing and the National Champion.

Our huge Season Preview also presents conference previews, awards watch lists, preseason conference polls from the coaches and media, fan polls, and more

During the season, the schedules and picks are updated as the computer adjusts its forecast based on the actual results. Updated rankings and picks are presented each week of the season, as well as pregame and post-game analysis.
