From this list, it should be possible to reconstruct my rebuttal to any 
questioning of the rankings (e.g. "because Iowa St is only worth half a 
team").

It's not a perfect system, and I do intend to make some refinements for 
next year.  But I do think it has achieved its stated goal.  Which was to   
provide less biased, but still reasonable, rankings than the weekly AP poll.
