ISR's -- 1995 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. There's an odd gap in the NCAA record so that, for 1995, the last D1 team listed is Virginia; there are actually another 20+ teams that fall after that alphabetically, so hopefully that will get filled in as they continue to review records. Even with that, it's possible to get quite close to a full game set by using "reflected light"; most missing D1 games can be identified through the missing team's opponents. At this point, the table at the bottom shows the teams that have missing games. 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.

Addendum: While working on the 1994 score set, I found that the records missing from the NCAA site for 1995 were actually filed under 1994. This creates a knock-on problem for '94, obviously, but it does let me fill in some of the missing scores here. It turns out that I was wrong in that some of the missing games were between D1 teams - VCU-Howard, VCU-William and Mary, William and Mary-Howard, UMES-William and Mary, and Wyoming-Utah. None of this affected anything near the top of the rankings, but these are now updated to capture the best information available.

Team Missing Games
Prairie View A&M 4
Utah 6
Maryland-Eastern Shore 7
