I love how all the fans of the dumb schools claim they don't care


Tolbert,

Just curious, but how long ago did you attend UF? Things have really changed lately, as you have to pretty much be a valedictorian in order to get accepted as a freshman. I don't know what the stats are for the entire university, but I'd guess that 90% of the engineers I know @ UF are from India......as it is highly competitive (very few dumbasses as you described).

That list looks like it was compiled on excel by a UF grad student.

USNWR -- the relevant ranking source (though arbitrary in some regards) has it as:

Vandy
A&M
UF
UGA

This is the accurate ranking.

People who brag about academic rankings on sports message boards do so because they don't have much to brag about sports wise.

But if you wanna go down that road, at least pick the best ranking available, which according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, is this one:

best universities in the world


FU is still in the top 100 fwiw.

And still sadly missing from preseason rankings for top football teams.

Well then, y'all ain't got shat in over 30 years

Quite a few caveats you have to drop in there. Of course you are the one who said "sports"

Ok, Mr. Texas Tech guy. Why don't you show us any academic ranking anywhere that has Texas Tech listed as anything other than an also ran. There are third world universities more respectable than TT.

In the South if you tell someone you drank a Coke with your lunch it could mean you drank a Coke...but more likely is used as a synonym for any soft drink.

In Argentina if you tell someone you like "carne" it may mean any type of meat (the literal translation) but is commonly understood to mean beef (great beef eaters in Argentina).

On a SEC board, sports could mean all sports but is also commonly understood to mean football.

jest sayin.

Got that right... I just got in as a transfer from a 2 year school.

Wouldn't have had a shot applying as a freshman
