Interesting list and thanks for providing. Regardless of how you feel about Miles and his staff, it is important to remember that they have accomplished a great deal, and this provides some perspective.

Quick question: how did you deal with years in which the teams on this list finished out of the top 25? There had to be a number of such years.

Overall winning percentage would also be interesting to see, although I suspect this would tend to favor schools in weaker conferences.

Thanks.

Each team had at least one year where they didn't finish in the top 25. My formula in coming up with the average ranking was:
- Assign points to each ranking - 1 gets 25 points, 2 gets 24 points, 3 gets 23 points, etc...
- I then added up the points to get a total and divided by # of years (8). This gave me x
- I then did 25-x which gave me final average ranking

For example, Ohio St. had a point total of 149. 149/8 = 18.625. 25-18.625 = 6.375

In years where a team finished unranked, they received no benefit from it. If someone is a mathematician and tells me my formula is wrong, I can adjust.

Ok...that's cool...but unless history is going to repeat itself your stats don't matter.I saw a poster of Matt Flynn holding up the crystal in a local restaurant tonight...and thought "will we ever see this again?" In my opinion not as long as Miles is the HC...he had his best chance in the NC game against Bama...in my opinion that team was the best in LSU history...if even the most die hard Tiger fan can't see that something is wrong..then you're blind.I refuse to turn a blind eye and say everything is ok when it's not,something has to change and it's gonna start with the coaching...when things are going bad on the field instead of Miles getting on top of the situation (like Saban does) he just stands there and stares or puts his hands in the air and ask what happened...it's his damn job to know what happened so he can correct it...call me a " negatiger" or whatever the hell you want...we will NEVER see another NC trophy as long as Miles keeps the caoching philosophy he has now...we are in the SEC dammit..you have got to be agressive in this conference or you're left behind!
