How big has home field advantage been in the BCS era?

New numbers in the BCS Central database give the home and away records of teams against FBS opponents.  This update has allowed a new column to be added to the table on the scoring in FBS games by season page.

new FBS team, new conference name, new conference members in 2013

The Georgia State Panthers join FBS (the Sun Belt Conference) in 2013.

The FBS conference previously known as the Big East will be named the American Athletic Conference.    It gains Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, and SMU from Conference USA.   Pittsburgh and Syracuse leave the Big East /AAC for the Atlantic Coast Conference.  CUSA adds Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee, and North Texas from the Sun Belt Conference.  CUSA also adds Louisiana Tech and UTSA from the Western Athletic Conference, which dropped football.  Former WAC members Idaho and New Mexico State go independent.  The Mountain West conference adds San Jose State and Utah State from the WAC, enabling it to split into two divisions.  After only a single WAC season, Texas State joins the Sun Belt Conference.

All of these changes are now reflected in the BCS conferences, non-BCS conferences, and teams with multiple affiliations pages.
