LOL... Crack is a Hell of a drug.
 
Obviously, this is new to you responders. It is NOT an opinion poll, It is a mathematical system similar to that the NCAA uses to seed the at-large teams in the playoffs. As the season plays out, results will come closer to our various opinions. I don't always agree with the results either. But for those who were on Onnidan, including critics, they know the deal. If you look at the D2/NAIA Ratings, it may appear more "logical" to you. The reason is that several FCS teams are shuttling between playing FBS or D2 schools during their non-conference seasons. I started doing this in 1991 as part of a proposal I was working on to create an HBCU Football playoff. TRF stands for "The Renaissance Foundation," a non-profit I started to promote the HBCUs, with Athletics used as a primary marketing tool. It is shut down, so it can't be Googled. I even got to testify on Capital Hill at a Sub-committee hearing about the NCAA's relationship with HBCUs. That CAN be Googled. What derailed it? D1 presidents/CEOs. Coaches and ADs were for it. In fact, i just found a letter from Billy Joe, then Central State's coach, supporting the proposal.
