Hi Robert and welcome. This will be the first full college football
season for the CompRatings mailing list. I hope we can have some lively

everyoen will feel encouraged to follow your lead and introduce themselves
and maybe share a little bit about their opinions, philosophies,
mathematics and any other spects of their ratings systems.
