Has anyone found anything on ranking algorithms.... something like college football uses, without the 1/4 subjective part?

I would like to make some sort of recursive program that ranks teams not only on their record, but also factors in their alliance, the alliance they played against, and the score of the matches. This might take several months to perfect, and starting from scratch isn't exactly my idea of fun. (on a side note, the algorithm doesn't have to be quick, it won't run anything more than 90-100 teams at a time, and if its programmed in C/C++, it'll be fast enough)
Efoote,

You are describing exactly what STAMP (Statistical Team Analysis of Match Performance). The site's domain is down at the moment (stampscouting.org) but will be up in 24hrs. We use a number of ranking algorithms based on just about every element of the match.

You can download STAMP here:

We will be putting this year's dev team together in about a week, stay tooned for new posts.
