Well, speaking as someone who knows more than a little about historical college football information, my reviews:
winsipedia - couple of guys scraped data from the internet without crediting their sources and are fairly ignorant about historical information. Whoever uses that, gets what they deserve.
sports-reference - also ripped others off for information without credit. Information is incomplete.
Stassen - Good stuff, but also doesn't have all-time records
cfbstats - good stuff, but only has about 8 years
cfbdatawarehouse was original research, for which it will be missed. The national championship section was responsible for causing massive amounts of confusion on the subject and wikipedia was far too reliant on it for information that could have been found at reliable sources, but original research is rare and priceless. I hope someone picks it up and cleans it up.
