Well, I'm no guru with regards to the methods used to calculate rankings
and I'm sure this will even out as the season progresses but there are
some serious anomolies.  I was curious to see who was ranked 4th by
RHEAL since WI had three 4's and a 5 so paged down and found it at Ohio
State.  That seemed anomolous, but then looked at OSU closer - the only
reason this looks anomolous is that OSU was slammed by KRACH - 13th
compared to 4, 5 and 7.  So I'm wondering - why is OSU so low on KRACH?
Similarly, why does KRACH  treat Alaska-Anchorage with such respoct?
