Um. Yeah.

FYI, here's the link to the countdown if anyone's interested ...

Looks like we're finally getting into the big-time programs. ... The rankings thus far:

16. Miami
17. Army
18. Texas A&M
19. UCLA
20. Navy
21. Pittsburgh
22. Stanford
23. Ole Miss
24. Clemson
25. Wisconsin

Only one SEC team so far ... that's a bit of a surprise ... and one Big Ten.

 

Sorry, but Ole Miss ranked in any big-time football list? The Kansas of the SEC?

 

That means 10 of the remaining 15 (tossing Vandy out) are SEC. </hoops>

 

Sounds like an interesting story but I'll be damed if I am going to take the time to register for the tuscalossa news to read it.

 

Marvin reaches for his copy of the college football enyclopedia and mumbles something about Earthlings in his best martian voice ...

Ole Miss: Consensus national champion 1960 (although AP votes named the 1959 squad the SEC Team of the Decade), six SEC titles, 15 first-round draft picks, 19-12 bowl record (14 New Year's Day appearances), two Mannings.

Kansas: No national titles, last time was co-champion of its conference was 1968 (obviously no Big 12 titles), eight first-round draft pciks, 3-6 bowl record (just two New Year's Day pperances), one Gale Sayers, pretty darnn good basketball team.

 

Oh, THOSE Hawks! ;D

 

actually 6 of the remaining 15 -- no mississippi state, south carolina, kentucky, arkansas or vandy

seriously -- georgia, florida (though they are the nuvo riche -- they're still riche), tennessee, alabama, auburn, lsu -- that's not a bad list

 

hold up. miami has the 16th best college football program?
um, from 1980-now, miami is EASILY top 5.

i would assume notre dame is #1, michigan and osu are top 5

but if we see a school like pittsburgh or something ahead of miami because pitt was good in the 50s ... well, that's a joke. miami's been a force for 25 years straight now.

and if miami is miami of ohio - whoops!

 

'cause nothing happened before espn :
