Here are my rankings through 13-Sep-92.

I know that I will get flamed to no end about Purdue, Kansas, and LSU but
I am trying to make my rankings be accurate for all 107 Div. I-A teams
and in the early season big wins/upsets will cause there to be "anomalous"
rankings.  A few more games should help settle things out.

This last week my rankings went an impressive 27-15-0 against the spread
and 27-15-2 in picking winners between between Div. I-A teams.  That puts
me at 44-25-2 against the spread and 59-25-4 in picking winners for the
year.  My rankings did ok in Chris Stassens pool but did beat Bapi Gupta's
and Sagarins entries.

I welcome comments and suggestions.
