Existing paired comparison models used for ranking football teams primarily focus on either wins and losses or points scored (either via each team's total or a margin of victory). While reasonable, each approach fails to produce satisfactory rankings in frequently arising situations due to its ignorance of additional data. We propose a new, hybrid model incorporating both wins and constituent scores and show that it outperforms its competitors and is robust against model mis-specification based on a series of simulation studies. We conclude by illustrating the method using the 2003-04 and 2004-05 college football seasons.
