Top ten college football programs in Texas
Don't think this has been posted here. Saw it on a Baylor board and thought you guys would like it too.

Interesting.

I take issue with the "sub-BCS level" classification, though. It's even worse than "mid-major." We are FBS, just like UT, Alabama, etc.

I think he was trying to come up with a phrase that includes non-AQ, FCS, C2, and D3 together.

Which would leave you to wonder why we were 10 rather than 2.

His explanation of his ranking criteria is terrible.

Not to be picky, but it doesn't seem to be his explanation that is terrible, since from what it sounds like all they do is sit around and discuss the teams, instead it's the method they use.

But hey, if that qualitative method has us at #4, I'll take it!

Greg Tepper: Four months ago, if you had said "Rice is going to win Conference USA West", you may have gotten some strange looks. But now coach David Bailiff's Owls aren't just playing in the C-USA title game...they're hosting it! What a turnaround for the Owls.
