The rankings are over the past five years and used a simple formula relying on the genius of Sagarin. We are number 1, Florida is 2, LSU is 3, OU is 4, and Wisconsin is 5. I really don't want Florida or Ohio State to be the first school to win both championships in the same year.

Also, Texas A&M could not be found on the list, oh what a travesty.

hook 'em, baby

Let's get PHF over here and determine where we are when you add in volleyball. Then we'll add baseball, track, and swimming, and we're light-years ahead. Just don't add hockey, water polo, or lacrosse, or Stanford will start to catch up to us.

You ask, I answer

Texas: add 7th in v-ball, final score 20
Florida: add 10th in v-ball, final score 30
LSU: add 19th in v-ball, final score 44
OU: add 12th in v-ball, final score 39
Wisconsin: add 11th in v-ball, final score 42
BC: no score in v-ball, drops off
ND: no score in v-ball, drops off
tOSU: 16th in v-ball, final score 54
Maryland: no score in v-ball, drops off
Michigan: no score in v-ball, drops off
Pitt: no score in v-ball, drops off

So the new ranking would be:

Texas: 20
Florida: 30
OU: 39
Wisconsin: 42
LSU: 44
tOSU: 54

Other teams joining the top 10, but not sure of their order: Nebraska (ranked in football, #1 in volleyball, mediocre basketball team) UCLA (#1 in basketball, #3 in volleyball, should have a better football team), Washington (ranked in basketball, #4 in volleyball, terrible football team) and Tennessee (ranked in basketball, usually ranked in volleyball, usually ranked in football).

Texas, OU, and LSU move up to the top 3 slots if you throw in WBB results from the last 5 years. Add in baseball, and I'll bet LSU moves up to #2, and Nebraska may pass OU.

Starting in January 2007, just another Limey Longhorn
