Nice work - looks pretty logically sound.
Re: including FCS teams in your ratings, Instead of worrying about each individual one, I finally settled on creating a generic FCS team that'd count as everyones opponent. Just figure out how all FCS teams did in all FCS/FBS games and average them out.
Its not ideal, but it works pretty well. I'm toying with actually rating FCS schools next season in addition to the FBS schools.

It was my understanding there would be no math.

So what considerations are given to the ratings of 1.0 to 0.0 that you assign to each team? Are there certain performance indicators you weigh more than others?

This SOS calculation is better than most. I've always thought that for the BCS rankings, only games against top 30 teams should be considered in SOS rankins, unless you lose to a team outside the top 30, in which case it should hit you pretty hard.
Think about it this way:
1. The only purpose of the BCS is to determine the top 2 teams.
2. If you are in consideration as a top two team, you shouldn't have a problem beating a team outside the top 30, regardless of whether they are #31 or #120.
Top 30 is an arbitrary #. Maybe it should be 40 or whatever. The point is that after a certain point, you shouldn't get any more credit for beating 1 bad team over another,
