In response to Scott Hartz: I apologize, but I have to agree that using last year's data doesn't make sense. Upwards of half the roster on any given team could be different. Also --> You originally said the last 20 games should count --> Well, as far as the NCAA is concerned, it does -- they put more weight on the last 20 games (if not all of it) in their rankings (at least, that's what I understand). Bottom line -- why don't we wait until February to worry about such things, if at all? The great thing about this sport, anyway, and all others beside Div. I-A football for that matter, is that there's a playoff system to figure everything out. Maybe I would care more about the rankings if Princeton was ever in them <G>, but what's the big deal?
