10 seems right. I can't believe Nebraska and Tennessee are still so high?

Don't buy USC at #1, they're on the list but not #1. Heisman trophies are over-rated.

Georgia & LSU were down in the '90's, Tennessee was way up...in the 2000's UGA & LSU are up while UT's down.
UT's only 0.42 points ahead of UGA & LSU...all 3 are virtually even. Over the years, everything averages out.

Can't be picky...every category is even-weighted. All things being even, USC's #1...numero uno...tout...nummer eins...nummer ett!!

Not at all, I upvoted. That list is hard to argue with.
Says a lot you assumed it’s us though.

Georgia is not a Top-10 program historically.
You want things to be that way, but teams like Penn State and FSU would like a word with you.

2 NCs is not top 10.
Posted on 8/2/19 at 11:28 pm to RatRodDawg
It would be a good list but you left out Miss State. We let people win for years to see how they reacted.

USC
Played in a 1 team conference for most of their history and gets their biggest bowl game in their home stadium. Helps inflate the conference selections and bowl wins.
Look where the next PAC 10 team is rated. Compare it to two teams Bama played every season.
Bama >>> USC and will be #1 in this rating next year.

These categories have nothing to do with the team and everything to do with the individual.

Just love to read all the excuses some of you are expressing, even in the face of facts, not opinions. You just can't stand it, can you?!!
