What's with the "Please fact check" comment? BB73 didn't list "Most consecutive weeks ranked" so he wasn't in error. Omitting a list isn't the same as having an incorrect one. Here's the top ten:

1. Nebraska, 348 weeks, 1981-2002
2. Florida State, 211 weeks, 1989-2001
3. Florida, 209 weeks, 1990-2002
4. Texas, 162 weeks, 2000-2010
5. Miami (FL), 162 weeks, 1985-1995
6. Michigan, 160 weeks, 1969-1980
7. Oklahoma, 158 weeks, 1970-1981
8. Colorado, 143 weeks, 1989-1997
9. USC, 130 weeks, 2002-2009
10. Notre Dame, 124 weeks, 1987-1994

He wasn't correcting BB, he was adding related content to the discussion because he is proud of his program's history. See, to correct Bill he would add some preface, like "Stupid sphincter licker - we have been ranked far more than you. !!!!!ELEVENTY11111!!! :pissed:"

I will greenie this poor, misunderstood seeker of further communication. :lol:

By saying "please fact check" that's insinuating that BB's facts were INcorrect - which clearly is not the case.

IF the Buckeyes go undefeated, then beating TSUN would also make them the first team to hit triple digits at #1.
