Finally a writer looks beyond the W-L stat and looks at the body of work. Great find, Orangeyes.

Nine years as a metrologist (PMEL). A crusty old Staff Sergeant. I think Texan Mark retired from the Air Force, too.

A lot of things support this.
1. Best offense.
2. Most balanced team between offense and defense in the conference.
3. Best second half record.
4. Toughest schedule.
At the end of the day a four way tie is accurate.

Ahhh...known a few PMELers...Yeah but Mark is one of those...a retired officer. I am a retiring MSgt, Information Mgt (now called Knowledge Ops). Today is officially my last day in the AF, tomorrow I will be a dreaded military retiree.

New to the site... went to Syracuse undergrad and Maxwell grad, grew up in Ohio. Loving the smart dialogue so far.
As for the power ranking article, I think this is more about generating clicks than a true power ranking. The central premise is that the BE is a toss-up. It's cool to see writers talk about us like this and I can't look at a single game all season where we were decisively outplayed. This frustrates me to no end, but I still chalk up every bad break we get to some sort of karmic payback for the Toledo extra point from last year. If we beat Rutgers we're in the Orange Bowl. But we're 7-5. I think that says more about the BE than it does about us as a team. I don't think we underachieved or overachieved because in this post-Greggers period, our program needs consistent 6-6 or 7-5 seasons to go bowling year in and year out before we start thinking about going to a BCS game or competing for conference titles.

Welcome to the board!
After nearly a decade of mostly negative headlines it is so refreshing to post the positive ones.
