I think a better Wikipedia entry point is

Indeed -- I simply took a quick look for a publicly accessible description of the Bradley-Terry model (i.e., Googled "Bradley- Terry"), and that's the first link that popped up. I just skimmed Glickman's "A Comprehensive Guide to Chess Ratings," and that includes a very nice description of the Bradley-Terry model and how it relates to the Elo rating system.

Thanks for the correction.
