   Well, here is another round of stats.  As usual, I've found and fixed some
more defects and data problems.  Since I've gotten a lot of mail supporting 
this, I'd thought I'd try throwing another stat into that bottomless pit of
statistical analysis:  The Computer Rankings.  I took this years data (so far)
and ran it through a Football style ranking program (I did the same for just
the games of the last few weeks) just to see what would come up.  One of the
responses contains that data.  Well, anyway, enjoy.
