I hate stupid rankings like this.
The real rankings:
Stanford
Northwestern
Notre Dame
Michigan
UCLA
The rest

This entire argument is ridiculous.
You know I had a point to make but just realized that I can make that opening statement on literally 95% of the threads on this site so why even bother jumping in?

I was just saying that neither Alabama nor Auburn are better than each other
bullshite. Auburn always has and probably always will be better than alabama. We will always make more money, be more successful, and win in life. And that is just talking the alumni of the two schools. When you add in the bama uneducated redneck nation, it becomes laughable.
Alabama will NEVER measure up to Auburn in any meaningful way. No matter how many football games their 85 individual players win in any given year.

Remind me again? Who was the player who graduated from Auburn who was functionally illiterate that testified in front of Congress?...and the one guy fron the HBO4 who, in addition to admitting to being paid his entire time there, said the coaching staff discouraged players from attending class?..and the phantom sociology courses for the same major you all pass out like steak and shrimp and $500 handshakes?

I when I saw Alabama in the top 10. Talk about losing all credibility.
Most players in Georgia don't make it to graduation due to arrests, so you wouldn't know what it is about. thUGa

Because of the criteria above, instead of this meaning something, it is just more politically correct BS. and worthless.

Boise St #2 ahead of Stanford. Legit.
One measure they used was the graduation rate of the football team vs the general school population. The graduation rate of all students at BSU is just over 25%.

Look dude, Auburn will always be bama's Daddy in anything in life that means anything.
It is better to just bow down and STFU than embarrass yourself in a discussion of academics between AU and bama.

Listen, I know you might not have gone to college, but there are such things as courses where you do not have to go to an actual class room. College is not like high school or middle school. maybe one day you will get to go to higher education as well. until then continue to make up shite to enable your delusions of yourself
