A guy over on Reddit made this chart for "Blue Blood" schools.  Pretty cool.

Without Matt here to defend the Pokes, I feel a bit guilty in saying this, but still ... this is why Sooner fans have a lil' trouble taking Bedlam seriously, at least when it comes to football.

What would be interesting is to see how many weeks each team has spent in the OVER rated column.

You know, like ND and such. They and others almost always start the season highly ranked and then... <<crickets>>

It's a self-fulfilling thing. Helmets gonna helmet.

be interesting to see weeks in the top 10, top 5 and ranked #1

it doesn't change too much, but might weed out some of the "overrated"

Honestly, "weeks in" is less significant than "years finished".   I've seen teams be in the AP poll for 15 weeks and finish unranked, while some teams have their only time in the poll be the final one.  Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Ohio State and Texas are big on starting higher than they finish.

The chart is based on AP polls so it is a matter of perception rather than facts such as number of wins, championships, etc.  Still, the sample size is large enough to be pretty realistic and staying in the top 5 is difficult unless a team 0-1 losses.

As far as "overrated", saying a school finishes lower than they started just means the AP voters got their preseason guesses wrong.  A big factor in their guesses is the previous history of the helmet schools so there is some circular reference going on there.

It's a lot easier to stay in the top 5, if you are in the top 5 to begin with.  Notre Dame has been in the top 5 98 teams when the AP voters "guessed wrong".  Alabama 111 times.  Ohio State 124 times.

occurances in the "final" poll would be very good
but, then the sample size goes way down

ftbobs.  Damn glad to see you.   I remember you from a bygone forum.   I was probably JCG or Hooky Hornstein back then.  I have to keep changing my identity to keep Shiner from stalking me.

Oh, I remember "Hooky".  Didn't realize you existed in other forms, though I know what you mean about Shiner.  I try to keep on his good side.

speaking of good sides... 

Mr. Bobs- I sent you an email on Sunday I think it was... 

need to know the version of PHP you used when you wrote the scripts for your page, along with the version of mysql- i have you your very own dedicated server- physical server, that is, not a VPS.  this will get you back online with a quickness, and we can go from there.  

it's discussions like the one in this thread that make me miss the product you provided us!!!!!!!!
