Now I realize this means next to nothing, but I did find this interesting for 2 reasons:
1) While compiling the listing out of curiosity I found it fascinating how divergent individual team rankings were amongst the services. I know we see it all the time in individual player rankings, but the whole "top to bottom" divergence was a point of interest.
2) The obvious impetus for this was looking at conference bias. This kind of evolved into the subcategories of collective bias, versus individual service bias (i.e. they all love the SEC, but which specific one gives XYZ some love, etc.)
With all that being said, I bet that most of you can pick almost every, if not every team in all 3 services rankings (not by slot, but if there are 4 SEC teams, you could nail them down).
