CFN 3 year overall program ranking

Pretty good write up, but as always there are fine points that could be argued. At least they determine a formula and grade everyone equally.

We are #3 behind USC and OU and the B10 leads all conferences with 3 teams in the top 10 (scUM and Iowa).

Domers are 14th behind Boise State and its still too high.

pretty good list, i couldnt find many things to whine about, the domers are to high though.

I know OU was in the title game twice but they got blown out both times. I think we should of been ahead of them because our overall schedule has been way better than theirs. The team that beat them b4 they got beat by LSU was the same team that we beat. Also when we lost to scUM in 03 for a chance to play USC for the NC, we lost to a team that is ranked in the top ten.

Did you see that Oklahoma got an elite win over South Florida.

ND got one for Navy too. I'll take that category with an extra large grain of salt, thanks.

Michigan had elite win for beating OSU, but OSU didn't get any for beating Michigan??

So, what's the question?

Elite wins are over a team that finishes with 2 or fewer losses. It's been a hell of a lot longer than 3 years since LLLoyd pulled that one off.

Yeah but I would call scUM an elite team b4 Navy and South Florida.

These "elite win" points sound like the way for them to fudge the numbers to get them to show what they want them to show.

Last time they had 2 or fewer losses was '99 :tongue2: However they are definitely more "elite" than south florida or navy

Agree 100% just pointing out the fine print on the "elite win" deal. Like I said, extra large grain of salt on this particular category, overall I am ok with the concept however. There are worse ways to rank teams than a standardized formula applied to all **cough-media polls-cough**.

junk

I didn't realize home attendance made a good football team??? (even though they did have us rated the highest in that category )...

They didn't figure in final poll results which imo are very important...
