THE MJS COLLEGE FOOTBALL STANDINGS
1997
The MJS College Football Standings are generated by computer analysis of
the records of Division IA college football teams. The computer
considers each game, taking into account the teams involved and the
win/loss result. In keeping with the "win is a win" philosophy, the
score is not considered. The computer ranks each team in a manner
consistent with its own record and that of all other teams.
Unlike the polls, the MJS standings do not try to predict how teams will
do in the future. The standings only consider the results of games
played to date.
