As seen on ESPN...
BOTTOM 10
Rank Team 2003 Rec. Comment
1. Buffalo 1-11 After finishing second in 2002 and sixth in 2003, look for the Bulls to charge to the top in 2004.
2. Army 0-13 Bobby Ross hopes to rekindle the glory days of Army, but he inherits a team that was outscored 476-206 last year.
3. Louisiana Monroe 1-11 If you can't replace the players, try the coaches. Charlie Weatherbie did just that, adding five new coaches, including Army reject Todd Berry.
4. SMU 0-12 If Mark Cuban bought the Ponies ... Wait, that's what got them in this predicament in the first place.
5. NCAA 0-1 No brand equity here. The NCAA shuts down Jeremy Bloom's shot at marketing his skills. Wonder if Mike Williams is nervous?
6. San Jose State 3-8 You can guarantee that ADs looking for a win know the way to San Jose.
7. Illinois 1-11 Have you seen the size of the Illini's media guide (think spiral Palm Pilot)? Are they saving money for Ron Turner's buyout?
8. Temple 1-11 When the Owls drop out of the Big East after this year, will anyone besides Bill Cosby even notice?
9. Idaho 3-9 If the Vandals finish last in their final season in the Sun Belt, will the WAC still want them?
10. Eastern Michigan 3-8 What's tougher: turning around the Eagles, who have one winning season in 15 years, or spelling Ypsilanti.
Oh look... it's Baylor!!
Waiting list: Baylor (3-9) , East Carolina (1-11), Iowa State (2-10), North Carolina (2-10), Ohio (2-10), UTEP (2-11). Also back by popular demand is Wyoming's uniforms.
