Another Weekend May Be Lost

Here I sit at the hospital not sleeping. My daughter's new daughter is undergoing an operation today. I've been working at night this week and, after my 12.5 hour day, drove home to pick up my wife and now I am fighting unconsciousness staying here and not at home sleeping. What a lovely day.

Again?

Here I sit at the hospital where we came after I took my wife to the doctor. My daughter just had her baby and it was taken to intensive care. The prospects don't look good this week as far as football goes. Now it's time to sit and wait to see what's going to happen here.

Time's Up

Still gathering information to sort. Computer slow today. No posts. No comment. Ouch.

T-1

Okay, I've got a little bit of time to get started today. If you don't hear from me for a while it's because I had to go do my eight and a half mile mowing before I had anything ready to post. The next post you see will be the official inauguration of the new season for me.

No Surprises Here -Sheesh

I had intended to get a great start on the season. That was before I found out my daddy was having surgery, my wife had to go to the doctor, I had to go to an unscheduled meeting, etc. By the time I got to this, it was time to go to bed so I can get up early in the morning and get back to work not doing football. I have started gathering information on my work page but there's nothing quite ready to post yet. To start with, I'm gathering all the ratings from every sports page, putting it into a complete form, then posting all the relevant information to its respective page. When I do get something finished I will start posting. No promises before next Friday, though. Good night.

Moving into the Future

My first post acquainted you with last season. The second with all seasons. And now the third one will prepare you for the upcoming season: Kenneth Massey's College Football Ranking Comparison. There you can watch the next season's expected team ranking to materialize as the season approaches. He finishes the season with more than 100 different computer ratings and rankings. Last season's final results are still posted at the moment but when the giant awakes he will start gathering active systems to create the pre-season ranking.

Let Us Know When your Ranking is Ready!

I will be telling everyone when I find rankings and ratings that are active for the new season. Don't wait, though. Post them right here and I will make your open house public.

Four More Days

That's how long it will be until I start updating David Wilson's College Football Rankings and Ratings for the new season. I will be posting very interesting pages until then that you should know about. Once I get going I will post all sorts of interesting pages about football and other sports.

All the Games ... Ever!

Many of the ratings and rankings you see have the same source in their histories ranking teams many decades ago. That source is James Howell who has collected every college football score possible back to 1869. Do you know how your favorite team did the year you were born? You can find out here.

Let's Get It Started with Clyde Berryman

I haven't had time to update anything yet but I want to bring some ratings to your attention that many of you have never really noticed. Clyde Berryman has a perspective that it ain't over till it's over. Therefore he never posts his ratings until it's over. When all the dust has settled, Clyde tallies up all the games and tells you how well they did. So when you start getting football fever, visit Clyde's ratings to refresh your memory of the previous season. He also posts the Top 100 Teams Since 1920. And each season at the end he adds a new team to his QPRS Champions Since 1920. You can see all these at David's site. So go stare at his ratings for a while and feel the tension gradually go away.

Ready to Go; Out of Time

I had some trouble with a few things but I'm ready to go. Watch for a few things this week and next weekend I will accelerate things. I have a heavy schedule from Sunday to Thursday, so Friday should be the first fun day.

The Opening Weekend Approacheth

Not football, of course, but the weekend when I will start going through the ratings and keeping you updated on what's new, interesting, and back. I've decided to make that particular weekend my starting point.

Keep your eyes open because this blog is about to start the new season.

Current Planned Projects

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

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

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!

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

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

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.
