Good to be in the upper right quadrant.

Lower left? Oh hi, Rutgers.

Looks like teams are clustered in quadrants 1 & 3. Wonder if there is a causal relationship between the axes, and which one is the independent.

Ohio State admirable? ummmmmm...

Possibly moreso, Michigan State? A group of football players breaking into a fraternity house and attacking people? A player goes to prison and is back at practice the day he gets let out? Admirable?

 

[Scooch]

Let's be real, the horizontal axis is the only one that matters.

X marks the spot

 

[Scooch]

Good to be in the upper right quadrant.

Lower left? Oh hi, Rutgers.

It is fun to note that of the ~40 schools in the Weak and Embarassing quadrant, only 3 are from P5 schools.

And one of those is Rutgers.

I spilled my drink when I saw where they were. I have news for that writer.
I have been to Columbus and it is on the outskirts of Hades.
How many schools have a NCAA Investigations Satellite office on Campus?

Ohio State leads the nation in NCAA infractions. They had over 300 in, I believe, 2012.

And then there's MSU...

Michigan State has reinstated sophomore running back Glenn Winston, who was released from jail after serving four months for his role in an off-campus fight that seriously injured a Spartans hockey player. Winston was on the practice field Monday as Michigan State opened preseason camp. He received a 180-day jail sentence in April after pleading guilty to misdemeanor aggravated assault and misdemeanor assault and battery, but he had his sentence reduced in July.

Quite the admirable program in East Lansing...

 

[CuseCrew08]

The chart should read "which teams handle their players indiscretions in house the best"

 

[HtownOrange]

Good to be in the upper right quadrant.

Lower left? Oh hi, Rutgers.

Kind of surprised they were rated as good as the were rated. Just an opinion...

 

[Nicknack]

I have to admit though, I would take a so-called embarrassing label any day of the week to have talent from the likes of FSU, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, etc. I would love to be embarrassing as we beat up on an "admirable" team by 40 points.

Penn State is where it is only because there is a border along the bottom of the box.

Agreed - I expected them much lower and further to the left

 

[Cusester]

Agreed - I expected them much lower and further to the left

Apparently the voters were swayed by RutgersAl's Rutgers season preview.

 

[Trueblue25]

Frankly I'm disgusted by being in the same quadrant as WVU. couchburn

 

[Trueblue25]

Oh my poor poor university

below rutgers

 

[SUMBA]

Agreed - I expected them much lower and further to the left

They will move progressively to lower left hand corner once the season begins.
