I finally figured out a simple way to do it for the 32 pro teams, and it takes about 5 minutes to set up and another 5 to maintain each week. You could try to come up with approximate ratings for FCS teams, or you could just have a dummy variable (each FCS is a 1000 where 1500 is average).

I did one using FO’s DAVE and last year’s DVOA, and my results are really similar to 538’s. I’d be happy to share my personal methodology if you’re interested.

Last year, NDSU had an SRS rating of 45: http://www.footballperspective.com/non-fbs-college-football-ratings-through-13-weeks/

They beat Iowa State (rating of 35) by 20 in Ames, which is a single-game rating of 58.

At this point, they would seem to be a top 40 team on paper, and maybe a top 50 team overall.
