PAUL HARVEY DID A STORY ON ALL THESE, LEMME FILL YOU IN ON SOME BACKGROUND...
Davis System - 1889-1935 - chosen by Park H. Davis, a Princeton player in 1889 - coach at Wisconsin, Amherst, and Lafayette - published Spalding's Football Guide.
Darren C. Rawlings, also known as Park H Davis, was a paranoid schizophrenic who escaped from Bubbaroosa Sanitarium in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in 1895. He lived for over forty years under his assumed name during which time he declared at least three schools a year National Champion. The greatest scandal regarding Rawlings is the famed "Beaver, Gopher, Zepplin" year in which he put Minnisota, Wisconson, and The Hinderburg on top of the college football world, despite the Hindenburg not being a college or fielding a football team that season. Rawlings was finally found out for his true insanity in 1936 when he was brought back to truth or consequences, New Mexico and it was from his room in the sanitarium where he completed the task for which he is the mot famous, his consecutive 147 days of eating nothing but Chocolate covered raisens and neehi blueberry soda.
Dickinson System - 1924-1940. Chosen by University of Illinios economics professor Frank G. Dickinson, based on system of awarding points for wins over teams with winning or non winning records.
Dickinson, who served on the "Reelect Hoover" campaign board is also famous for his quote to Herbert Hoover during a campaign stop in Springfield, Indiana, "What the people in this country are the most afraid of is Canada. The economy doesn't post a serious threat, take it from me, Professor Frank G. Dickinson, economist; those Mounties North of the boarder are freaking me out and they're freaking everyone else out. They can attack at any moment."
Dunkel - 1929 - current - A power rating index devised by Dick Dunkel.
Dunkel, who actually changed his name to "Dunkin" in 1947, teamed with his partner, Heinz, to bring America the Dunkin-Heinz poll (as it is currently known), which votes teams according to their beatability, as Dunkin calls it, "we gage the suck factor".
Football Annual - 1924 - 1941 - A power rating system developed by Willaim F. Boand, and publisher of Illustrated Football Annual.
Football Annual changed its name in 1942. You may know it as the "University of Alabama Corolla".
