"ISR: "The basic idea is an iterative one. Begin with all teams set to an even rating -- 100 in this case. Then, for each game played, give each team the value of their opponent's rating plus or minus a factor for winning or losing the game -- 25 in this case. Total all of a team's results, divide by the number of games played, and that's the end of a cycle. Then use those numbers as the start of the next cycle until you get the same results for each team for two consecutive cycles."

What the F does that have to do with whether or not a team has come prepared to wrestle or how much time off a team has had or whether or not a team just wrestled the #3 team in the nation before squaring off against the #1 team in the nation 2 hours later?

I am not sure our sport can be ranked in this way.
