I like it were not down there at the bottom means a lot.
 
How the hell are the sheep rated higher than us? They've gone 3-9 the last 3 years and are 0-3 against HCDC since he got here.

That's what I was thinking. They're higher on the powerhouse scale and the admirable. What did they do to deserve that? Apparently the WSJ hasn't heard of all their players involved in fights and whatnot.
 
I dunno I think when people rate the MWC teams they do it via a dartboard if they aren't named BSU or SDSU who seems to be some special teams.
 
And how the HELL is byu an admirable, powerhouse?! Sure they were 10-3 last year, but the only teams they beat that were worth a shit were Ole Miss (debatable), UCF, and Utah State. If our schedule consisted of San Jose State, New Mexico State, Idaho State, Idaho, Hawaii, and one of the weakest BCS programs in the country (Oregon State)...we would have a good record too.

According to the chart though, SDSU is in the weakling/embarrassing section.

However they are closer to the powerhouse line than Wyoming for no apparent reason.
 
Interesting graphic.

Most puzzling one to me is Tulsa. I consider myself a pretty big college football fan, yet somehow I missed the part where they became a powerhouse. Or you know, were even close.

I'd put them in "admirable" as they seem to be a fairly consistent team, but yeah, not a powerhouse one by a longshot.

Agreed.

There is a lot debatable stuff for sure. As much as it pains me to say, Hawaii is more of weakling than Wyoming is right now. But neither school has a ton of upside.

Other things I see...

-South Carolina given some serious respect there. Not deserved.

-Notre Dame should be further down the embarrassing list.

-Nevada. Admirable. Now that's funny.

-Texas, admirable? Okay.

-BYU.....**stops reading**

I know. At least Wyoming has an administration that doesn't lose $250,000 in a con. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
