If you look towards the bottom, you'll see that a losing season is -2 points... so we lose a lot of points in the first 50 years that this thing is based on.
There must have been a lot of stuff going on in the 40's thru 60's that I'm not aware of; Duke ranked ahead of Cal and BC? Did I miss something?
They need to do one for basketball. That one shouldn't be as bad.
Love it losing season -2.... and most probations are only -1 or -2.
It time we start putting a premium on paying recruits
bad thing is that we tried that and ended up with -3's and -4's to show for it!Quote:

Being in the Big 12 should put us in the top 100
The good news is that some stupid list that bored, off-season college football writers put together doesn't mean anything when ISU lines up against its opponents in 2009.
I think ISU should legitimately be in the 80's somewhere, and would be if they also added in some human logic.
Pop Warner gets us in the top 50 alone.
