Welcome to the website for the Chamness Rankings. These ratings are brand new, started in the fall of 2019 as a side project for a PhD Student. More information about the system used may be found under the methodology page.
I would like to thank Kenneth Massey for the raw data used in these calculation found here, and for including my rankings in his comparison page (https://masseyratings.com/ranks).
After this inaugural season of these rankings I have learned quite a bit about the effects certain choices have on the results of the rankings. I have not changed the exact algorithm during the course of the season but will be making adjustments during the off season to try and fix some current issues (losing to Ohio St benefiting some teams too much). Thank you to all who visited and looked at my rankings.
Unfortunately it was not possible for this algorithm to successfully run during the 2020 Season due to the cancellation of games due to COVID-19.
I have taken a pause after the 2022 Season to focus on finishing my Ph.D. - Future versions will be published once I finish.
