In their defense they have had like 2 good seasons of football ever. Makes sense

I've been kinda assuming that cinci was in the top 2 (with BYU of course)

Wow, that is much closer than I like. I thought....

Coaches have seen the data:

Machiavelli

Data on why they should expand or data on individual teams?
