OT: Cal & Stanford show a pulse

[Sean Miller Fan]

Cal lost on a failed 2 point conversion to USC. Stanford was down 2 late in the 4th to Washington.

I still think the ACC should break into a Football Division and Academic Division

Academic Division
Pitt
Cal
Stan
BC
GT
Duke
Wake
Syr

UVA and UNC not in YOUR Academic Division?
Duke and Stanford at the top of the ACC, but
California, UVA and UNC should probably be
next. That's not saying the others you mentioned
aren't top notch institutions.

I forgot about UVa. Yes. UNC wants to be good at football. They are trying. They just cant get out of their own way.

You probably need to include Florida State and Miami in your academic division since they are rated higher than many of the schools on that list including Pitt in the most popular college ranking site.

No. The schools that care about football are in the Football Division

Miami
FSU
Clem
UNC
NC State
VT
Lou
SMU

I just want Pitt to win football games. I’ve already graduated; F academics.

I wasn't including or excluding those you mentioned.
I was asking why no UVA or NC.

I’d really like to hear someone from US News reconcile these Pitt rankings:

US News Global Universities
45 in world
24 in USA
9 in USA public
5 in USA public outside of California System
3 in ACC

US News Best Colleges
67 in USA
23 in USA public
17 in USA public outside of California System
T-11 in ACC

And FWIW, what the rest of the world thinks:

Times Higher Ed
144 in the world
43 in USA
19 in USA public
13 in USA public outside of California System
4 in ACC

Shanghai
83 in the world
36 in USA
16 in USA public
10 in USA public outside of California System
3 in ACC

QS
222 in world
43 in USA
21 in USA public
16 in USA public outside of California System
4 in ACC

Just another attempt by SMF to stir things up a bit by not putting Pitt into his football division.
