They gave our offense a B and our defense an A-.

What? Our offense this year is SO MUCH more promising than our D.

God that's frustrating.

And also, why does Brad Smith get ANY of the praise he gets? I don't care if he has a super strong arm and amazing reads; if you can't LEAD your team, you arent a GREAT quarterback. You can be good, but you're not great. He should not be in the top 5 QBs. There are many more promising field generals than him.

edit: added rant.

The "Toughest Stadiums"

1.) Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (Florida)
2.) Kyle Field (Texas A&M)
3.) Neyland Stadium (Tennessee)
4.) Ohio Stadium (Ohio State)
5.) Lane Stadium (Virginia Tech)
6.) Tiger Stadium (LSU)

Kyle Field? Huh? I can give props to the swamp and Neyland, but to see Kyle Field over Ohio Stadium, WOW......

Actually I'm not surprised. Many people consider the "12th Man" the best football environment in the country. I'm not one, but I'm not surprised. A case for first place could be made for all those stadiums. I think this is a good list.

12.) Ohio State B+ B A+ B

do you have different stats than the ones posted here?
and I am going to have to disagree with you as well, we have the best linebacking core in the nation hands down, one possible all american corner, two potential all conference safeties, and what should be a above average defensive line.

our offense is LOADED, with POTENTIAL... We still have to prove those last two games were who we really are. Remember buckeye fans with scarlet glasses didnt make this game.

My only thought on those rankings were, why would you put the team with either the best or second best defense in the country at #12? behind louisville? you have to be kidding me with that one..

The rankings aren't based strictly on the ratings. Look at Miami and Texas. They are A- overall, but behind several B+ schools. Just as in real cfb, some teams are ranked higher than their talent and some are lower.
