          Some horrible formula... It's total crap..

          Divisional rankings are usually pretty solid..

          ATG ratings are absolutely absurd. Tarver is like a top 50 heavyweight all time

                no way. Its all for marketing now a days. I remember when Ring really was a true unbiased ranking. DLH and GB did that in. Now its shlt.

                  A "fair and unbiased" formula.

                    No idea. I wonder if we can get Nate Silver to apply some of his voodoo to it?
