    I posted a whole article 24/7 on this... It gets deep into the teams.

    You absolutely did it the right way, I just excerpted this for the purpose of calling it to the attention of the more apoplexy-prone among us. It's intended as a public service of sorts you might say. There's been so much pap spewed about MC's incomparable recruiting, particularly in the national media, that I couldn't resist the chance to take a poke at that narrative. So far, I haven't seen the need to address many concerns about his coaching prowess. :p

    Lol... Too funny. I like the quick pics approach too. And while yours shows the top teams, mine shows the talent rankings of the teams on our schedule... :D;)

    Even better. I'll go dig for more comedy gold in that trove of very interesting information as soon as I work up the energy. Stay tuned. :p

    I just have a goofy as hell imagination and a big mouth. Both have been life-long traits. I'm sure that comes as no surprise to anyone here.

    Idk how much weight we can put on that anymore. It’s still important, yes, but the portal has skewed it relevancy to some degree.

    It carries at least as much weight as the "Miami is back and Cam Ward is a phenom" horse hockey going around...just saying. :devil:

    And yet FSU is ranked #10, Miami #19 and we're not at all. We'll see soon enough how our coach utilizes our talent.

    And yet we didn't lose to Georgia by 60 or lose to Georgia Tech, NCSU, and Rutgers (3 Vandy level teams of last year).

    Sure and if we lost our QB a week or so before playing the poodles we could have lost by 70.
    By the way, we don't need to think about losing to Vandy-level teams...we actually lost to Vandy.

    Mine was a complete article about the rankings of the teams we play (of only the teams on our schedule)... Lol... His graph was about the top 20 teams... not the same thing... but it was very informative. ;)

    Lol... Lizard's my friend, Lol... I see what you're trying to do, ET... funny man. Lizard, don't pay any attention to ET... he's just stirring things up. :D;)

    This is true, and this doesn't take into account how the player has changed since entering school. This is using players HS rankings and those are completely different now.

    Which is obviously true for every school in the country. But with the steady stream of surprisingly accurate talent evaluations Billy is rapidly becoming famous for, I'll take my chances along with every other team on that list.
