Kind of an interesting read, not to mention an interesting way to come up with their rankings.
IF you want to ascribe to their rankings, it would kind of put a dent into some of the so-called academic teams, and how they play at a disadvantage. (Ga. Tech, UCLA, USCw, Duke, etc.)
More of an off-season thread, but I found it interesting and thought you might, too. These are based on 2012...

The better question here is who the frick is the New American Foundation and what is their agenda?
quote:
the New America Foundation bases its rankings on several factors: how a football team’s graduation rate compares to that of the school’s overall male student body, how a team’s black-white graduation gap compares to the male black-white graduation gap in the general student population, and the spread between a football team’s black graduation rate and the school’s overall graduation rate for black men. “Our formula is the only one out there that puts these statistics into context,” says Alex Holt, an education researcher at the New America Foundation.

It took the BCS top 25 frozen at a certain point of time before bowl games and then ranked them academically. If you weren't in the top 25 BCS rankings at the time you didn't get ranked.

A lot of people outside of the west, don´t know that USC is a damned good school.
