We rate every FBS school in three sports -- football, men's basketball and women's basketball -- along with two "wild cards" among the school's most successful spectator sports: baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, lacrosse, hockey and wrestling.

So it's not equal across the board - each school has their best wild card sport counted, which can be chosen from almost everything but football

No equestrian? List is shite.

The weighted formula puts 2.5 times as much emphasis on football and 2.0 times the emphasis on men's basketball compared to women's basketball and the "wild cards.

Well that's just stupid.

Football, Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball are included for everyone. Then after that the school's 2 best NCAA sport finishes are chosen.

And an equal number of people think the Director's Cup is stupid as evidenced by the thread on it a week or two ago

No equestrian? Garbage list.

On a more serious note how can they leave off the global sport of golf, but include regional sports of lacrosse, hockey, and wrestling? Vandy, LSU, Auburn, and UGA all finished in the Top 15 in golf this year.
