Another WSJ piece this one ranks all D1 programs as to on field and off field from admirbale to embarrassing...check out where some of our "favorites", sure its mostly subjective, but look at gumps, A&M, FSU, Ole Miss etc...fwiw Wisconsin is at the top of admirable...

I'm not sure which is funnier, Ole Miss being classified as embarrassing or the WSJ considering them to be the that high of a powerhouse

BTW, at Ohio State being more admirable than us

Apparently Baylor, Georgia, South Carolina, Stanford, and UCLA are all more of a "powerhouse" than LSU...

It factors on and off-field before you get your panties in a wad.

Nope. I also am enough of a realist to realize that those teams have easier paths to the playoffs than we do this year, which is the only year the graph is for.

UCLA, Baylor, Standford, and USCe are ranked as bigger powerhouses than LSU. Hmmm.

To get to the playoff... this year. There is nothing wrong with that besides choosing the term powerhouse.

LOL at Northwestern being one of the most admirable - ther stupid little unionization thing is really damaging to the game.

And what besides one mentality ill coach qualifies Penn State as so embarrassing?
