Around SBN: Reflections on the Best Blazers Month In Forever Bar-right-arrows



SI Declares: A&M Beats out UT in '07-'08 season

You know who's directly above us? Princeton. Yikes.

We sit at 15, while the Ags are at 11.

Number one with a bullet is Arizona State. No other Big XII schools are in the top 25, although Baylor, Kansas, OK State, and OU are honorable mentions, in that order.

I have a minor quibble

with their system. In Track & Field they really give no weight to individual national championships. Same is probably true in all collective team sports: cross country, diving, swimming, etc.

However, these individual championships determine All-American status (top 6 in most sports), so to me this method diminishes those accomplishments.

I can appreciate the emphasis on team and collective team accomplishments but there does seem to be a need for a graduated point scale for individual NCAA championships. Team and individual need to be correlated in a better manner and imho this would really be more accurate overall indicator.

Who cares?

This means nothing. Zip.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
