NCAA Ratings and Rankings Update

Current Planned Projects

2011-03-27T09:48:00.000-05:00

1. Link Jon Rogers' NCAA Basketball page
2. Correct links on master page - that will take a while
3. Get links from Jon's page
4. Make new pages from master page

That's going to take some time.

Began The Fun Today

2011-03-27T09:45:00.000-05:00

I checked all the links on our master page and found some to be "lost" or redirected. That I will work to correct after I get Jon Rogers' NCAA Basketball page linked in. My schedule is crazy so I have abandoned giving estimates on when I will have each item finished. Just watch this page and I will tell you after the fact. I am currently working on the index page (College Football Ratings and Rankings). I have made a template out of it but I want to check all the links before I upload it.

College Baseball Ranking News

2011-03-24T15:26:00.000-05:00

I can tell you one thing that I saw when I had a brief look at my out-of-control email. Jon Rogers has updated the college baseball page of the directory at this LINK.

Hang In There!

2011-03-24T15:23:00.000-05:00

I almost got to work on the directory last week. I'm going to have it ready before football season if it kills me. No, wait, then I'd have to find a replacement. Hey, how would I do that if I'm dead? I think it's bedtime.

Post Your Site

2011-03-08T13:33:00.001-06:00

We're still waiting for you raters to get excited about your sites. Anything you have on your site, especially unusual or new thing, should be posted at our ratings site where you advertise your wares. Well? It's HERE!

Updated Directory Pages

2011-03-08T13:29:00.001-06:00

Several of the pages have been updated in the off-season. These pages are College Men's Basketball, UFL, NFL, College Football, CFL, and College Baseball. The rest of the site should be updated by the beginning of the football season. More information later.

3,000 and Counting

2011-03-08T13:27:00.001-06:00

This blog recently had its 3,000th visitor. Get ready for new posts and pages. Get ready for football. And new pages. And new raters. Ah, the future is great.

Meanwhile ...

2011-03-08T13:23:00.001-06:00

The Basketball Superlist is coming to a close with the NCAA Championship coming down. See who it thinks is the best.

Superlist

2011-03-08T13:20:00.002-06:00

My first official act of the 2011 Football Season has happened. I sent the one change to David. Eight components will remain but David will be adding the new retrodictive member soon. The real retrodictive winner was the Superlist (per Todd Beck's Prediction Tracker for the second time) but it would make a strange member of itself.

The Next Project

2010-11-27T08:49:00.001-06:00

The next page to be posted will be the College Basketball Men's page. Should be up in the next few days for your critique.

UFL Page Posted

2010-11-27T08:47:00.001-06:00

The page for the United Football League has been posted. Unfortunately, only my ratings and Joe Kasulis's are there. Joe will be sending me the other links and I hope to have them posted next week.

Jeff Sagarin

2010-11-27T08:08:00.002-06:00

Mr. USA Today Ratings Dude's entry has been changed in the NFL and College Football lists. The other sports will be updated as we post the pages. The Kiva site is apparently history along with the Indiana high school boys' and girls' basketball and Women's College Basketball, college soccer, and PGA. I assume he's posting them somewhere else. If anyone knows, please contact me.

Jaakko Suni

2010-11-27T08:04:00.002-06:00

His rankings are back and added to the listing.

Another Milestone

2010-11-21T16:42:00.002-06:00

The NFL page has been updated with all the active systems. That brings the total to NFL, College Football, College Baseball, and CFL. The other pages are smaller and will be updated in the near future. The NFL page has 46 listings. College football has well over 100. I lost count. CFL has 12, College baseball has 8. Most listings have multiple links. The next pages to be updated in order are the UFL, NCAA Basketball, Auto Racing, Soccer, NCAA Men's Hockey, NBA, NCAA Women's Basketball, Women's NCAA Hockey, and Major League Baseball. Once I get all the pages set up, it will be a matter of updating listings in the various sports by their entries on our master page. This is where we keep sites that have disappeared and put new sites we find.

A Major Milestone

2010-11-03T18:33:00.002-05:00

Today I finished the College Football page. All signals are go (to be checked through the season) and all entries are listed. From here I will gather any additional information from the NFL page to add to the master page. The new NFL page will be made from that. After that will be the NCAA Basketball page, then the NASCAR page. From this point the objective is to redo all the current pages. There will also unfortunately be some structural changes but it's for order and usability. See the finished College Football Page.

Things are Starting to Look Good

2010-10-23T11:57:00.002-05:00

I have finished the main page down through Ryan Williams. All I lack are David Wilson, John Wobus, Peter Wolfe, and Steve Wrathell. and the four listings at the bottom. Once I finish those I will begin replacing the other pages. It will be smooth sailing through the rest of the overhaul. The signals are updated, too.

Getting Closer to Real Visible Progress

2010-10-22T10:33:00.000-05:00

There are 95 green signals, 8 yellows that probably won't show, and 21 entries left to check before the big overhaul of the other pages. Whew! The first pages to be updated will be the College Baseball (already done by Jon Rogers), College Basketball (being assembled by Jon Rogers or me if I get to it first, then maintained by Jon), CFL (already being maintained by Joe Kasulis), the UFL (I don't remember whether or not I've posted this one yet), NFL (Joe Kasulis), and NASCAR (Steve Pugh will maintain this one and possibly others).

Joseph Dise

2010-10-17T19:13:00.000-05:00

CPI Ratings has been added to the list.

Jon Rogers

2010-10-17T19:12:00.001-05:00

The BCS-Compliant Ranking has been added to this entry.

Update

2010-10-17T10:05:00.001-05:00

I've completed the college football page down through Jeff Sagarin.

Signals Updated

2010-10-17T09:55:00.001-05:00

I've updated the signals so there are a lot of new ratings. I also made some changes to some entries and am currently working my way down the page from David Rothman.

A New Interview

2010-10-06T20:29:00.001-05:00

Jim Ashburn of AtomicFootball.com is doing an interview to be linked from the directory. I'll let you know when it is official.

Got Back Late

2010-10-06T20:22:00.001-05:00

Well, I didn't get anything done on the directory as I had one less day off. We got back late from town and now it's way past my bedtime. Oh, well, my next day off will be three or four days away.

Master Page Check

2010-09-30T12:09:00.002-05:00

I checked the master page with all the links. I've completed the first 25 screens and have six to go. In comparison, the college football links page only has four screens of links.

Catching Up

2010-09-30T12:04:00.002-05:00

I am officially four hours and forty-five minutes behind my goal, now. That means I should have been finished with the college football page and the NFL page and working somewhere beyond that. I will conquer.

Sites and Signals Update

2010-09-30T11:54:00.002-05:00

The list is now checked and signaled down through David Rothman. Some links were added, a few on David including my interview with him.

Signals Updated

2010-09-30T09:34:00.003-05:00

All the signals have been updated as far as the directory has been updated. This was a big week for initial updates. Most of the last initial updates will happen next week. Some of the entries that appear to be valid but are not will become evident in the next few weeks and will be removed. Rating sports has a high turnover rate. You have to be in love with it.

Update

2010-09-30T09:32:00.000-05:00

The College Football Page has been updated through Eddie Pettis.

Sonny Moore Updated

2010-09-30T08:28:00.000-05:00

The entry for Sonny Moore's Computer Power Ratings has been updated to his new site.

New Signals

2010-09-26T11:24:00.002-05:00

Signals are updated from Sonny Moore through Kent Novick.

Disruption

2010-09-26T11:05:00.000-05:00

Just as I was getting into this project my boss called me to come in six hours early. I will finish this hour and may have time to work some more later.

Pat Laffaye

2010-09-26T11:03:00.000-05:00

Pat now has two systems. The description has been updated on the Round Robin Winning Percentage. The new one is the Expected Winning Percentage.

Sonny Moore

2010-09-26T11:00:00.000-05:00

Sonny is psychic. His link was the next one to be updated and he sent me the information for his new web site. It's active and updated.

A Little More Time

2010-09-26T09:32:00.000-05:00

I'm sitting at home with a pulled muscle. I woke up with it yesterday and went ahead to work. The first trip was normal but on the second one the pull got worse and proceeded to worsen throughout the day. I'm trying to avoid using it so I'm sitting in a comfortable chair with my laptop. It took about five minutes to figure out how to get out of bed this morning. I had to slide my foot toward me, then turn to my right carefully and put my hand on the floor. That gave me some leverage and thirty seconds later I was standing tall. I also have a drinking problem. It's not as bad standing up as sitting in a chair but it requires using my pulled muscle. I'm going to buy some straws. Today I will get a little further down the list as my muscle allows.

Progress Update

2010-09-24T08:48:00.000-05:00

I'm about two-thirds of the way down the main page. Last entry finished was Justin Moore. All signals up to date to there.

Signals Updated

2010-09-24T07:33:00.000-05:00

The signals have been updated and there are a few new ratings to view. http://www.nutshellsports.com/wilson/

Progress?

2010-09-23T17:25:00.002-05:00

Yes, I am making progress. You certainly can't tell from all the stuff not being posted but I am in the process of switching HTML editors. The one I have used for years and years has suddenly decided to delete things from the main body. I'm getting the new one going.

Herman Matthews

2010-09-18T12:40:00.000-05:00

Just past Kenneth Massey's listing, though you won't see it on the site, is my interview with Herman Matthews. We lost Herman and David Rothman in recent years. I've posted David's interview in a previous entry. Here is Herman Matthews': Interview of Herman Matthews

Update

2010-09-18T12:32:00.000-05:00

The list has been updated through Kenneth Massey, whose site always gives me a headache. Abundant ratings and information. If you could see all the links I have to his site you would get a headache, too. Anyway, a good deal of the work I just did can't be seen on the site. Most of the links will be added to other pages when I get to them.

Signals Updated

2010-09-18T11:01:00.000-05:00

I've updated the entries to green that have posted this season down to the place I have reached. All yellow lights indicate that the initial list has not appeared. Many retrodictive systems do not post until several weeks into the season.

Update

2010-09-12T07:33:00.002-05:00

The main directory page is now checked down to Lawler.

Drew Pasteur and John David

2010-09-06T11:55:00.001-05:00

The Fantastic 50 has been added to the NFL page. Their other ratings will be added later.

Update

2010-09-06T11:25:00.000-05:00

This list has been carefully checked through Steven Jens which is indicated by the signal lights I am re-adding. I still have to go from Dr. Kambour downward. Once I finish this page I will add the NFL and UFL pages. The college men's basketball page is being compiled by Jon Rogers who has completed the college baseball page as well. The UFL, CFL, and NFL pages are maintained by Joe Kasulis. If you notice that a rating page has been updated to this season and shows the teams in order (not alphabetical) but the light is still yellow, please let me know.

Success So Far

2010-09-06T09:05:00.001-05:00

I have updated to the point I thought I would reach last week - Gupta - who, incidentally, is apparently no longer rating. He must have gotten engulfed in some of the activities in which he was participating in those pictures. I shall continue into this week, now.

At It Again

2010-09-06T08:25:00.001-05:00

How about that first week of football? I'll be glad when they start ending the week on Saturday. I have some time and am about to attack the directory. I didn't make it by the start of the season but I'll do what I can.

Finished All I Could

2010-08-31T13:44:00.000-05:00

The College Football Rankings page has been updated somewhat. I had intended to get down to Gupta but my bedtime has come and gone. I will have to continue this later. The entries that have signals are the genuine new directory. Between the last signal and Gupta not all the entries are legitimate but hit and miss. After Gupta they are fairly reliable because none have been changed.

Getting Ready to Start Updating Pages

2010-08-31T08:45:00.000-05:00

Most of the College Football page is ready. I'm going through it, adding links from the Additional Information page. After that, I will go through all the entries to apply the green and yellow signals. Green means the current ratings are set up and yellow means the ratings are outdated but expected to be posted later in the season. I also have to change some of the link wording so that everything is consistent. After I post the College Football page the NFL page will be next.

Brian Fremeau

2010-08-25T10:59:00.001-05:00

The Fremeau Efficiency Index has been added to the directory.

Better BCS

2010-08-25T10:08:00.001-05:00

The pre-season MegaRanking is posted at Nutshell Sports.

Dan O'Malley

2010-08-25T08:50:00.000-05:00

Dan's Rankings have been added to the directory. Most of the new ratings being posted were located by Jon Rogers.

The First Action of the Season

2010-08-25T08:21:00.000-05:00

The latest and first NCAA Oddsmaker Ranking is now posted at Nutshell Sports. There's not a lot of change from last season.

Kenneth Massey

2010-08-25T06:57:00.001-05:00

The College Football Ranking Consensus has been added to the directory.

Brian Boggo

2010-08-25T06:46:00.002-05:00

Boggo Team Rankings has been added to the directory.

Getting Closer

2010-08-19T17:21:00.000-05:00

Both the new season and my progress are getting closer. I did manage to get my site back in order after the chaos of moving everything to the newer laptop. I also added a new CFL entry thanks to Joe Kasulis, the maintainer of the CFL list. Next week is looking good. I have a lot of finishing up to do.

Jon Dokter

2010-08-13T19:37:00.002-05:00

Entropy has been updated. I forgot to tell you.

Give and Take

2010-08-07T07:02:00.002-05:00

The part of my web site I maintain for David is on my newer laptop. My part of the site is on the old laptop. Unfortunately, the old laptop no longer comprehends the home wi-fi. It does, however, understand the wi-fi from my Samsung Epix. That would be fine but I don't want to pay for an extra line just to upload my web site. My new Palm Pre is the greatest phone in the world except for two things - its Google Maps app doesn't let me log in so I can get my saved locations (Google's fault) and, as far as I know, nobody has written an application so that I can use the wi-fi on my Pre to upload files from the old laptop. I could pay AT&T twice as much to tether the laptop to the Pre but for that price I could have two data lines and there wouldn't be a problem except for the money flowing out of my pocket. So today I am going to have to move the partial web site to the new laptop. Bummer.

Get Your Ratings Posted

2010-08-07T05:59:00.001-05:00

Kenneth Massey is compiling his college football Ranking Comparison. If yours are ready, let him know.

Bad Weekend

2010-07-26T13:57:00.002-05:00

I'm going to take a nap and hope I wake up before I have to go to work. A connection on my car kept them from getting readings on my car to inspect it. They sent me to another place but their computer was down. That will now wait until next week. I took my daughter to start a bank account. She needed two forms of ID that will have to wait for later. My wife got sick and I have to take her to the doctor tomorrow. We went to get my wife a new phone and found out it was a lot cheaper on the Internet. I have to order it, now. There were other things that happened like someone screwing up the date on my loan. I'll stop there. Maybe I can wake up long enough to get something posted later. So, how was your day?

Two Days Off

2010-07-25T06:43:00.001-05:00

Hopefully, in between other things that always inconveniently pop up, I will have a few hours to work on the directory this "weekend."

Canadian Football League Power Rankings

2010-07-20T12:02:00.000-05:00

Joe has added the Canadian Football League Power Rankings to the CFL page.

New Site for You to Talk about your Sports Site

2010-07-14T12:34:00.001-05:00

I set up a new blog for those who want to publicize their own work. Post news or ratings or ask questions or whatever.

Brian McAtee

2010-07-14T10:40:00.001-05:00

Quality Champions Rankings has been updated to its new site.

Peter Mucha

2010-07-14T10:26:00.001-05:00

Remember the Monkey Ratings? Peter Mucha is back with the Random Walker Rankings.

Back to Normal

2010-07-14T10:04:00.001-05:00

Okay, the job change is finished and I'm getting used to the very different hours. I've gotten my email straightened out and started working on the directory, again. A fairly smooth transition.

Great Season in NBA

2010-07-02T12:48:00.003-05:00

In the NBA the Nutshell Combo was the best against the spread followed by Nutshell Girl. Wish I could have been up there. I guess I get half an award and Nutshell Girl gets a half. She did have seven more wins than anyone else against the line. I did well as far as bias goes, coming in second to Least Squares. Of course, I feel a little better knowing Least Squares came in late in the season while I was there from the beginning. We are also doing MLB but we're both behind schedule and there's nobody to tell us how well we're doing. Todd only has so much time.

Status

2010-07-02T12:41:00.001-05:00

Getting close to the end of the page in college football. The tedious part is almost finished except for the Additional Listings page. The rest will be fun.

Catherwood Rating System

2010-07-02T12:02:00.000-05:00

The Catherwood Rating System has been added to the directory.

Updates to Superlist

2010-07-02T08:45:00.002-05:00

When I didn't win an award on Todd Beck's site this season (Nutshell Girl did) I thought I was going to have to kick myself off the list. Fortunately I still hold second place (there's only room for two) so I get at least one more season, making two for me. Jeff Sagarin will be replaced this season by Payne College Football Power Ratings as a retrodictive. The top contenders this season for predictive were Kambour, Nutshell, StatFox, Sagarin, Pigskin, Bemiss, and Massey. Unfortunately for the Girl, she didn't win a category that would get her closer to the Superlist but I'm proud to say that she has won an award in each of her first two complete seasons.

Dezenzio TSRS

2010-07-02T07:44:00.001-05:00

The True Statistical Rating of Strength has been added.

David Knight

2010-07-02T07:25:00.002-05:00

The RoundTable Ratings have been added to the college football page. Other entries that will later be added to their respective pages are NFL, men's college basketball, NBA, and college baseball, most including predictions.

I'm Baaaack!

2010-07-02T07:24:00.000-05:00

Had to do a little job change. Things are almost back to normal, now.

StatFox

2010-06-27T11:12:00.002-05:00

StatFox Power Ratings have been added to the directory. Ratings that will later be added to their respective pages are Arena and CFL football, College Men's basketball, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, and NASCAR.

Real Time RPI

2010-06-27T10:45:00.001-05:00

This system has been added. Entries for men's and women's basketball ratings and RPI's as well as NFL will be added later on their respective pages.

Catastrophic Annihilation

2010-06-27T10:25:00.001-05:00

This system has been added to the list.

This Week

2010-06-27T10:22:00.002-05:00

I have half a weekend to do what I can. The yard I work at has decided to send their business to another one. A good bit of my time will be used to get the next job. I've had three jobs in sixteen years. I hate changing jobs.

Last Week a Disaster

2010-06-27T10:21:00.001-05:00

I had to work an extra day last week and the other day off I used from beginning to end to try to keep my life in order. It was a success in that aspect but nothing was done on the directory.

Status Check

2010-06-18T19:25:00.001-05:00

Added two today, working on several more. Back Sunday - no, really, this time.

Ben Hatch

2010-06-18T18:49:00.000-05:00

Hatch Mathematical Ratings have been added.

Steven Jens

2010-06-18T18:46:00.002-05:00

Steven Jens' NCAA Football Sports Ratings have been added to the college football page.

That's It Until Sunday

2010-06-16T18:54:00.003-05:00

Most of the work we did this week is not visible to the public. Jon Rogers updated the college baseball page and is working on the college basketball page. Joe finished the CFL page and will be tackling the UFL page, most likely. I had a funeral and all its prerequisites which cut my time severely, including normal family time, but managed to get a few things done. Sunday I will get back into the swing of things.

CFL Page is Updated

2010-06-16T10:01:00.002-05:00

You know Jon Rogers has updated the college baseball site and now Joe Kasulis has updated the CFL page. There's still a lot of work to be done on our list before all the pages show up. Now and then a new page will be revised until we get to that point. Pages that are in the works are the UFL and college basketball.

Updating College Basketball

2010-06-14T13:21:00.002-05:00

Jon Rogers is updating the college basketball page. Once he completes it and we have established the links, I will let you know. He already has the college baseball page posted.

Still Grinding It Out

2010-06-14T09:13:00.004-05:00

I'm still working behind the scenes. Every time I knock off one link, I gain two more. It's going to be a race to the finish line to beat the new college football season. I'm gathering links from the Additional Listings page and adding new sites that were sent to me from Jon and Joe. David's still sending me information on college football sites. Once I collect the Additional Information links, I will put update Joe's CFL page. That will be the first brand new page but it will still look like all the others. If you don't hear from me again, I've gone over the edge.

Addition to Steven Jens

2010-06-13T16:41:00.001-05:00

I somehow left out the fact that there are CFL ratings which, ironically, are the reason I was checking his site in the first place.

Eric Hollobaugh

2010-06-13T16:34:00.002-05:00

Eric Hollobaugh's Sports Rating have been gathered and will appear on their respective pages once I get that far. His ratings include Arena Football League, CFL, NBA, and MLB. You can find the various ratings at: http://ratingspage.zoomshare.com/. As with Steven Jens's the pages are linked by the year. If the link shows a 9, you can delete it and add 10 to see if he has moved on to the next season yet.

More on Steven Jens

2010-06-13T16:15:00.001-05:00

Steven uses the year in his URL's. Some of the sports are listed as 09. By changing the 09 to 10 you can find his new ratings once he gets them set up.

Steven Jens

2010-06-13T16:08:00.002-05:00

I have collected the ratings pages from Steven Jens Sports Ratings. I have not put it on the college basketball page, yet, as I await a verdict from David. There are other ratings there, though, including Arena Football, Men's and Women's College Basketball, NBA, WNBA, MLB, Men's and Women's College Hockey, MLS, and USL. The home page where you can find the information is: http://www.stevenjens.com/Sports/

Updating CFL Page

2010-06-12T13:48:00.001-05:00

Joe Kasulis tells me (I usually find out by accident) that Canadian Football is about to start. I'm excited because I don't even know if all the same teams are playing yet. In any case, I'm going to update the page with Joe's information. It might take some time since I will also go through those sites for links elsewhere. The next posts will be mainly CFL.

Hmm

I see in my Twitter section that I need to quit posting so many things to a site that is linked to it. People ask questions for you to answer and I was surprised to see them there. Don't read too many of them. You might get to know me a little too well.

College Baseball Page

2010-06-08T16:13:00.002-05:00

While I've been working on the college football and additional information pages, Jon Rogers has been updating the college baseball and basketball pages. The baseball page is now updated and the basketball page should be finished soon. David's idea has now spread to three sites.

Tough Weekend Update

2010-06-08T16:11:00.002-05:00

I had a family reunion on one of my two days off and went to jury duty the second. I got an extra day off which is good for time but bad for money. I have actually used some of it for the directory. The next few (above) posts will tell you what I'm getting done.

Time to Stop

I probably won't do any more updates this week. I am supposing that David and Jon and Joe will have some new things to do next week. If not, I will continue down the Additional Links page. I have plenty left to do.

Does anyone know where his College Football Top 40 has moved?

Update

2010-05-30T09:48:00.001-05:00

Pulled all useful links from Additional Links through Carl Banks. Added article to Todd Beck's listing. You won't see some of those links until I redo those pages.

Anyone know what happened to Carl Banks? It seems to me he had a problem he had to deal with. I'm not sure.

Basic List Complete

2010-05-30T09:17:00.003-05:00

All entries on the College Football Page have been updated. It's time to go through Jon Rogers' list to see what else needs to be added. It is up to David as to which sites will be added. In the meantime I will start going through the Additional Links page for links that need to be added to the currently listed sites. After that will be Jon's and Joe's pages - NFL, College Basketball, College Baseball, CFL, and UFL, in that order.
