List of Known Rating Systems
What is on this page?
For many years, David Wilson maintained a list of all of us who produced college football ratings years on his own website, the RSFC (which stands for rec.sports.football.college, the old Usenet newsgroup that we used in the 90s and onward). Rick Turner at Nutshell Sports took over the list for awhile, but his version has not been updated since 2018 so I'm rebuilding it mostly from scratch.
I know this list will be a constant work in progress. In addition to the ratings from the original RSFC index, I'll also add some others that are, and aren't, included in Kenneth Massey's composites.
If you are here and see this section...
Please know that this is a work in progress. As of 20 October 2024 I got through all of Rick's list, but I think there are others that I've seen before and I need to search for them using some old bookmarks. Next up, I'll email some of those who maybe haven't updated recently to see if their page has moved, and so on. Have suggestions or ideas? Drop me a line. My goal is to make this as comprehensive as possible.
