ISR's -- 1988 Season
There are too many cases of unknown dates in the historical records that I used to re-create this data set for me to be able to do weekly updates as I have in later years, so these are end-of-year ratings only.
The score set behind this is incomplete, but it's close enough to justify publication. Teams with incomplete game records are listed at the bottom; in most cases, it's possible to find their D1 records by using "reflected light"; most missing D1 games can be identified through the missing team's opponents. Since most of these are unlikely to have played each other, it's likely that the great bulk of the missing games are against non-D1 competition and wouldn't have an impact on the ratings. However, it's quite likely for this year that there are some conference SWAC games that are missing.
Going backwards, we now reach the point where it's a much different game, in the sense that the Southeast becomes largely irrelevant. The top 10 are all West Coast and Southwest teams (yes, I know Texas is in the SEC now; that's not really a relevant point here), and there are only a smattering of top teams below that point from the Southeast. Miami was a legitimate national program at this point, and that's about it.

I want to say a word of thanks to the folks in the NCAA stats office, who have been very responsive to my requests for data that had fallen through the cracks and weren't reachable on their current web site; they've gone above and beyond in supporting this somewhat quixotic search. I'm extremely grateful for their help.
