Weak. I would say ND has to be top 10. Oregon in the top 10? Really?

I'm dumber now for reading that.

Oregon is a a better job than ND? Pfftt....

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

It's only because of the facilities and Phil Knight's checkbook.

I agree though, this list is garbage.

 

[IrishLax]

Ridiculous list. I don't even know where to start. They completely whiffed on every school but Texas.

Did Andy Staples go to Penn State?? Or is it that Joe Pa is his grandpa?

If this isn't a joke then Andy Staples just lost all credibility with me. Yes, I disagree with where he put ND, but that is only the beginning of my issue with his list. Other than Texas at the #1 spot, I think I could make a convincing case that every other school listed is in the wrong place.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

The reasoning ND was lower than expected is the fact that it is truly a unique job, and only a certain kind of guy would take it. Texas, OSU, Oklahoma, etc. are interchangeable with each other, ND is not interchangeable with anyone....

My opinion AS OF RIGHT NOW:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State (will drop to 10ish after sanctions)
5. Florida
6. Oregon
7. LSU
8. Michigan
9. USC (would be top 3 if not for sanctions)
10. ND

This is a persistent and especially obnoxious misconception about ND's SoS.

Does anyone know where SoS averages over a number of years are kept? I know ND's is way up there, even since the "modern" era began with Lou's departure. Aside from the SEC West, I'd put our SoS up against 95% of conference schedules.
