Football was a daily topic of conversation, we talked Big Ten Expansion and divisions before they happened 15 years later. We decided to create a rating System.
The Garwin Football Rating (GFR) is different from all other polls because it is fluid. Every game matters, home or away, which teams are playing, who plays against who and what the outcome of the game is. It changes weekly, every team is on an equal playing field and there is no advantage for the Big BCS Boys.
I will post them weekly, so feel free to comment and leave me some feedback.
