ere ranked ahead of those posers (IE #2 or #3 - I agree Oregon has the best resume). The BIG took on PAC teams and, apparently, their penchant of getting rankings based on their own boasting (but not metrics or logic).

Nice, so you want them to ignore the eye test and the roster/recuriting star counts, and flatten any sense of conference affiliation.
Got it.
By that logic, though, shouldn't Army and Boise State be right behind BYU? Also ahead of Tennessee and Texas, etc?
Seems like that would be asking for the red sea to be parted AND put an iHOP on the other side. (tho...there was the manna...hmm)
