Even in 1970, the "good" QBs had a 1:1 TD:INT ratio, and led their teams to a good record.  They'd have a 55-60% comp rate and/or would be a rushing threat with a few hundred yards on the ground.  "Field General" stuff.

This guy didn't do any of that.  At all.  But he was 10th in Heisman voting?  There's no argument for that.  None.
Dude had to be the 2nd coming to take K-State of 1970 to a winning record.  I don't know much, except I was in utero at the time, I'm told.

So is Magic.
And the wrong flags by names.
It's bullshit AI nonsense, that you're spreading.
It's purposely erroneous to get more engagement.

Stop being the problem, please.

The entire thread is about bad or useless rankings ….. I posted an example.

They're not bad rankings, they're not real rankings.  Every reshare, post, or any interaction with those just breeds more.

Back in the day, I recall being somewhat "consumed" with rankings.  If they Dawgs were doing well, a move up a notch or two was Big News.  I'd watch the scoreboard to see if anyone ahead of them was losing.  I recall when Tech tied ND 3-3 in 1980 and UGA had the last minute comeback against UF, it was pretty big.  To me, at the time.

Of course today a team can end the regular season #1 and leave fans disappointed in the playoffs.  

Indiana fans have a Big Taste now, I wonder if they get all despondent if in 2026 they end up say tenth?

Not a ranking really, but interesting, if accurate.

Yup, a good portion of those games would occur when the team is a clear underdog likely to lose.  The Bama figure is impressive, as are any 33% or better.

I'm guessing a good portion of the "wins" could be early in the season when a team is ranked #1 but doesn't finish in the top 5

could also be some #1 vs #2 or #3 in bowl games or playoffs
