If anyone can steer me to another ranking of all the teams (I've tried to locate Lindy's online without success), I'd be appreciative. Thanks! The only thing that is a fact is that nothing is a fact. If this statement is true, it is also false.                   --Dr. Donald Horning, circa 1965 Back to Top Jeff McKinney Moderator Member Since: 11/12/2004 Post Count: 6,155 Status: Offline     RE: Creating a "consensus 120"    Posted: 7/9/2010 11:26:36 AM  For Athlon, be sure that you use their rankings for this season rather than their rankings of program status.  I think Ohio is ranked #107 or something like that in program status, but higher for this coming season.  Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 7,456 Status: Offline     RE: Creating a "consensus 120"    Posted: 7/9/2010 11:33:32 AM  Phil Steele is pretty accurate too.

They don't do the whole 120, though; they do the Top 40, plus then build a consensus on a conference by conference basis: http://www.stassen.com/preseason/consensus/2010.html Also on that site is data comparing the accuracy of the various publications in prior years. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Monroe Slavin General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Oxnard, CA Post Count: 9,121 Status: Offline     RE: Creating a "consensus 120"    Posted: 7/10/2010 2:04:52 PM  Entirely off the top of head and with no partic knowledge, is Temple really gonna be that good (didn't they graduate some players and have question at qb) and won't CMU have a significant drop off also after losing qb?

Monroe, I believe their good RBs were very young, and I think they will have an experienced and big line.  The Owls and Huskies enter the season as the expected favorites in the East and West.

They will be tough competition. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 8  of 8 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 180 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 179 Guests 1 Registered User:   MFRONE There are no other users looking at this page.
