Thanks David Kane. My speculation about what you thought was bogus
about the current Elo rating was then largely correct--seems like it's
the sample size being too small--for a moment I thought you had some
other special insight and/or were a crank. I still find ELO quite
useful when done in a normal distribution--play more games, and you
lower the error rate. Of course if you don't play often then you can
have an erroneous rating.

BTW here is the list of soccer (football) ELO ranked champions:
