If College Football’s Rankings Were Based on Academics...

Ya the Pac, Big 10, and ACC interchange at #1 quite a bit. The Big 12 took a big hit losing A&M, Nebraska, and Colorado but neither them or the SEC were ever in the conversation.

Former President Bill Powers reportedly favored the Pac before he left and felt that UT identified closer to the California schools than others. Interesting enough, both him and current President, Greg Fenves, are Cal grads. For me, the time difference alone is a non-starter. I'm all in the Big 10 if we make a move. Well run conference, big time programs and coaches, and good academics to top it off.

 

Can you post the whole article? Also, what are the academic rankings according to?

 

UT is the only great school in the south.

 

Since 2006? Baylor would be much higher if it was changed to since let's say 2010.

Baylor came in at roughly #71 overall recently which is their highest academic ranking. We've been moving up consistently. Texas has actually been doing nothing but dropping in the academic rankings. They went from the mid 20s to the 50s. Funny that you didn't mention that.

 

I don't recall Khator promoting UH's 388th ranking anywhere.

You do have to admit, though, that UH is truly one of the absolute best public universities in the 3rd Ward.

 

Man you are a pathetic loser, you must be insecure about something but I guess it does suck when your university hasn't seen any success since 2005-2006.

 

Hasn't seen any success? In what? Do you mean sports? Is that the way universities are judged these days? Just LOL at the Coog fans

 

In what time frame has UT dropped ?

 

Since the early 2000s. A&M also dropped out of the top 50.
