    The worst and most universally laughed at power ratings of all time? I think you should look at the boards you posted these…you are being made the fool.

    Looking at how the site publishes its info, obviously didn’t take in a few of them. South Carolina over Georgia? TCU less than impressive over Kansas? (Frogs had four turnovers inside the 25 of the jayhawks and hurt themselves). Texas overrated, who have they played to say they are better than last year? Ohio State at four? Barf

    But the bottom line is that you have Rutgers at 11. You need to stop spiking your kool-aid

  8. who knows

    Aubs are 1-2 lost to Clemson and Miss St. and beat La Monroe. They are terrible.

    UCLA embarrasses Nebraska, so therefore according to the *genius* who puts this list together, Nebraska is ranked 18 but UCLA is ranked . . .34th? (did a pet monkey type these rankings in?)
