Yeah, combination of things, no doubt.  I suspect the top teams are, well, the top teams who more consistently are very good.

The tallest in Georgia is in view from our elevator lobby.  Some call it the pencil building.  For some reason, it has "only" 55 floors, apparently, but is quite tall relatively, over a thousand feet.

The spire on top of course gets counted.

Three states have buildings taller than any ground prominence.

I glance at these on occasion to see if some  team is a big shocker, this one has several, to me.  Ohio State at 21?  Maybe this is April Fool's?  

A&M at 1?  TT at 3?  Florida at 9?  Ok then.

Here's how you too can make a graphic just like that:


def worthless_random_rankings(team_list=None):
  """
    A completely unserious, meaningless Top 25
    designed purely for off-season arguments and clicks.
    """

    import numpy as np

    # If no list is provided, generate the usual suspects
    if team_list is None:
        team_list = [
            "dumb team 1", "dumb team 2", "dumb team 3", "dumb team 4",
            "dumb team 5", "dumb team 6", "dumb team 7", "dumb team 8",
            "dumb team 9", "dumb team 10", "dumb team 11", "dumb team 12",
            "dumb team 13", "dumb team 14", "dumb team 15", "dumb team 16",
            "dumb team 17", "dumb team 18", "dumb team 19", "dumb team 20",
            "dumb team 21", "dumb team 22", "dumb team 23", "dumb team 24",
            "dumb team 25"
        ]

    # Step 1: Pretend we analyzed "key metrics"
    print("Analyzing strength of schedule, vibes, and mascot energy...")

    # Step 2: Completely ignore that and pick randomly
    rankings = np.random.choice(team_list, size=25, replace=False)

    # Step 3: Add fake justification layer
    print("Applying advanced algorithm: 'gut feeling + chaos'")

    # Step 4: Output rankings like they matter
    print("\n=== OFF-SEASON TOP 25 (DO NOT QUESTION) ===")
    for i, team in enumerate(rankings, start=1):
        print(f"{i}. {team}")

    # Step 5: Stir controversy for engagement
    print("\nBiggest snub: whoever you like")
    print("Biggest reach: whoever you hate")

    return rankings

Penn State at 4? We're doing this again?
