  Div I WVB 2002 Rankings
The underlying model for the ranking system is a probabilistic approach, which says, essentially, that the larger the difference in abilities between the two teams in a match, the more likely the better team is to win.
I know it is all the rage in NCAA football to disregard ranking systems that include the point spread for a game, on the grounds that “winning is all that matters.” However, the motivation behind such a movement is suspect.

As the sovereign of the universe of these savages is none other than the savage creator of the world, who raised the devil to the rank of guardian and general administrator of his gigantic Gulag, scientific anthropology leads to the psychobiological spectrography of the three single gods.
As a result, the scientific study of simiohuman theology enters the field of historical and political documentation on cerebral and moral evolution of mankind; and the history of the psychophysiology of idols becomes the key to a real scientific anthropological knowledge of humans.
A science of mankind based on critical observation of the brain of the civilizations of liberation and salvation requires a comparative psychoanalysis of the three monotheist theologies and of their history, as well as the examination of their ideological copies.
