This paper explores the subject of rating systems applied to the world of college
football. Current rating system methodologies are examined, and four rating systems
are developed and evaluated in a program. The Hensley Rating system is introduced
as a new method. The details of each of these systems are discussed, and the results
are analyzed and evaluated using data from the college football seasons of 2000 -
