Quote:Doesn't it just tick me off that in college sports (like the football and the hoops), only the top 25 teams can have numbers next to their names? In my opinion, that means something because the higher the number, the better the chance of your team going to the national championship game (at least in college football). But what if I'm a team that has no ranking number? Unless I beat them and better my BCS rating (btw, the BCS sucks!)
The rankings on College teams are given to them through polls: Coach's Poll, Computer Poll, and Harris Poll (I still dont know what that is). Every year they re-evaluate all of the teams after the season based on that team's current roster. Most of the time the team that wins the National Title stays number 1 unless that team has a drastic change in their roster through the draft then most likely they will drop a couple spots.
As for the teams that arent in the top 25 they actually have chances of getting high up in the rankings if they just keep winning in their schedules get into bowl games and start winning. If they see a team that just keeps winning year in and year out pollsters are going to see that and get them up there in the rankings. As long as they win they will be ranked plain and simple.
Quote:Also, I'm starting to get a bit sick of that thing players do when their team wins a game. They pour the Gatorade over the winning coaches head. Just once, I'd like to put an end to that American sporting tradition (the getting the coach wet with sports drink bit, not the Gatorade).
o.O How can anybody that watches football games and not like seeing the coach getting drenched in Gatorade. Especially if its in the middle of winter ^.^.
