For many, that would be better.  Ths US sends too many of us to college.  It's a kind of birthright now for many.

Folks who admire Europe should appreciate they send about half as many kids to college there.  And they spend less per capita on K-12.

Some rankings, for CDawg.

10 best coaches ahead of 2023 college football season, ranked (msn.com)
Yeah, a good example of a pointless ranking to me.  A good coach is simply a coach of a team that wins a lot, duh.  He might be a mediocre coach elsewhere.

I'm having trouble thinking of anything less useful than preseason all-conference teams.  I get it for magazines - they have something to sell.
But not official ones by the media.

Folks have something to sell whether mags or media outlets.  It gets clicks.  I guess folks pay extra for ESPN plus or whatever it is.

I can't think of a sport where rankings really mean much today.  I guess if your team ends up ranked top ten, that's a thing for you, maybe, or ranked at all.  Preseason rankings are "OK" to me for thinking about those teams ranked 15 and down that surprise you, as you weren't thinking about them as being decent.

UGA likely will stay ranked #1 until at least November, barring large upset, and what does that mean?  Not much really.

They should calculate the cost of attending to get some kind of FPV on that decision.

yeah, he's an obvious dumbass. Michigan and Notre Dame are both easily top 5 national brands in college football. Dumbfk has Michigan at #16 and ND at #12. Lol.
