The idea of a computer ranking system first popped into my head at the end of the college football season last year. While walking around Georgia Tech's campus I wanted some way to connect all the college football teams, through statistics, to find which team was the best. Now, I know there are many different computer rankings out there, not to mention all the human polls as well. But, I wanted something that I had created to compare to all these other systems of trying to determine who is the best.
There are many different things that caused me to come up with a computer ranking system. Not trusting the others, seeing if I could actually implement a ranking system, the push (or really just the snickers) of friends, as well as other things. But, I wanted something that was completely interconnected. Where teams would be compared on many different levels and to their different opponents. So, hopefully these rankings that I have developed will do all these things. Probably not, but oh well, it has been fun and I am sure it will get even better as I try them out this first year.

We will get to preseason rankings soon. And thank you for your great comment. It is quite encouraging.
I am so impressed with the time and effort that you have put into this. I'm excited about seeing and understanding more about how it all works!
