Ridge regression uses rolling offense, defense, conversion efficiency, turnovers, recent margin, pace, rest and site. Missing metrics use declared priors with missingness indicators.
Weather and verified injuries are context only: no tested historical coefficients are available. No numerical adjustment is invented.
Opponent strength is represented by the opponent’s prior statistical profile; CFBD paid adjusted metrics are not requested.
Win probability is an empirical residual estimate, not a guaranteed outcome. Legacy validation data has not been independently reconciled to CFBD.
