Hopkins is a Lacrosse member only.

ND is a member for hockey.
I think my point about the silliness of that infographic is made. :)

Oh, I dunno....when you look at how FSU destroyed LSU in the 4th quarter, it makes sense LSU would be ranked ahead of the Noles. 

Likewise, Bama > Texas makes sense, if you think about it.....in 4 dimensions, with folded space and a lot of square roots of negative one.

I mean, there's a reason infographics are so widely used.  It's because they're always correct. 



EDIT:  Looks like I'm talking about a different graphic than you were.  I was referencing top 20 list.  But lists are also always correct.  If you don't understand why Michigan is not in the top 20, then you didn't carry the cosine multiplied by half of Thanos' Reality Stone in their most recent game. 

Double Ninja-edit:  Nevermind, Michigan is ranked #14.  Which just proves by their inclusion in the Top 20 and that I missed it, graphics and polls are always infallible, but illiterate, color-blind coon-asses are not necessarily.

I know why Alabama fans' brains are broken, what's YOUR excuse?

I mean, I thought that was implicitly covered in the "illiterate, colorblind, coon-ass" part.

The point of my post was to simply show that the B1G has a collection of pretty good/great schools.

Including Hopkins in that graphic was just plain dumb, but I didn't make it.

I rather enjoy it.

For some reason Fearless tends to go easy on you and leave you out of his pot stirring.  Somebody has to make up the difference.

Looks like they weigh MOV over total cupcakes pretty highly.
Why wouldn’t they? (I assume there’s a specific team this is aimed at?)

Because MOV over complete cupcakes is a worthless basis for ranking and comparison?

And yeah, I'm looking at Oklahoma.

If MOV over cupcakes isn't an important component, then why is everyone freaking out over Alabama?
