Which is better?

Are there any more numbers-based ratings out there? I suppose it wouldn't be super difficult for someone to calculate RPI for all the teams.

I'm still trying to find out how to do Elo Chess.

The USHO site is last years? Am I reading this right?

Yes, Mitch's hasn't been updated yet this year.

It isn't about which ones are better or worse, imo, it's just about having multiple opinions on a topic. Look at the BCS, not to say it's perfect, but they take an average of 6 different rankings to compile theirs, and some are totally different.

What are all the different websites out there with rankings?
I can't remember the site, but what's the dent on at yahoo?

Though it is not numbers based, (at least that I'm aware of) it is more of a team A beat team B so A > B. Though, when B beats C and C beats A I think he bases it mostly on who won most recently.
