I could be wrong and waiting til his mag hits stores near me Tuesday (some stores get it couple days early but haven't seen it yet) but he almost always lists every criteria used to rank something. Based on his past I'd think he would have eddies any other criteria if he used it. Looks like just going off class in this one. If BYU has 2 freshman who end up starting our rank will drop but notice almost the entire top 25 here are teams who were blaa last yr. not sure if that means we could see a crazy year with a ton of upsets, or that this ranking SHOULD make starts a major factor.

I can never wait to get his mag every year. He's the Michael Jordan+Babe Ruth+Stephen Hawking times 10 of football predictions. I'd pay a years income to be in the room when he's researching teams. He's on s different planet compared to all other "experts."
