Final Rank for 2015, Year 3 of the GCR

As a reference, I’m posting the closest to final rankings I have for the early years. When the GCR started, I only ranked the FBS teams and only through rivalry week (usually), because I didn’t have the ability to have “repeat” games in which two teams played more than once. Because of that, the Army/Navy …
