I think UW is the lone school in that list that doesn't have a conference title. Can't count 2012 really. That was a fluke.

One could of course weight different achievements in such a ranking, NC counts for X, playoff appearance counts for Y, NY6 bowl game counts Z ...

I think a decent ranking is just taking AP final poll positions and giving points 25-1 for finishing 1-25.  You might add points for top 5, top 10, etc.  Maybe.

But really it's not worth the effort in my view.  I had forgotten FSU had some good years early in this decade, that is how fast they have fallen.

Edge could be an OLB in a 3-4.  Or a DE in a 4-3.
