[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129281474, member: 1500287"] Well, they are ordinal facts, in that they are ordered rankings based upon best guesses, complicated comparisons and analyses and also frankly tradition. Flagship schools with identical facts as a program that is on the edge of elite will still be ordered into a ranking, one higher than the other because there are no ties in rankings - that does not make them accurate. 4 proved it was 1, at least on that day. 5 never got the chance, nor did 6, or 7 or 8 to prove that on any given day - they were the best in college football. 4 slots for 5 isn't going to work. Can't wait to see who the number 5 and 6 are that get left out next year. Then the howling will commence from a different quarter. If it is the BIG12 again, the howling will increase from the partisans of that conference. 8 teams - or 6 settles it on the field. [/QUOTE]
