Prestige Rankings

ESPN's Prestige Rankings are a numerical method of ranking the best FBS programs since the 1936 season. Point values were assigned for certain successes (win a national title, earn 25 points) and failures (get your program banned from the postseason, lose two points). The research department ran all the numbers through the computer to come up with the No. 1 program (and Nos. 2 to 119) of the past 73 seasons.

Great idea. I wish I'd thought of it a few years ago. :wink2:

BP.Rating-teams-based-all-time-poll-rankings

OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved, I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

NC in either poll = 100 points
2-5 = 65, 55, 50, 45
6-10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30
11-20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10
21-25 = 8, 6, 4, 3, 2
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2008 final polls:

01. 2353 - Oklahoma
02. 2255 - Notre Dame
03. 2191 - Ohio State
04. 2050 - Alabama
05. 1970 - Michigan (-10 for losing record in 2008)
06. 1942 - USC
07. 1724 - Texas
08. 1669 - Nebraska
09. 1523 - Tennessee(-10 for losing record in 2008)
10. 1454 - Penn State
11. 1171 - Miami
12. 1112 - Florida State
13. 1044 - LSU
14. 1023 - Georgia
15. 1016 - Florida

Former Wolverine Mike Trgovac quits Panthers job - 10 hours ago

By MIKE CRANSTON ? AP ? January 22, 2009 CHARLOTTE, NC ? Former Michigan middle guard Mike Trgovac became the fourth assistant to leave Carolina coach John ...

Here's the guy who I thought UM would be hot after, even as a potential head coach. UM ties to Bo, Ohio recruiting ties, the kind of guy that embodies the Michigan we used to know. Don't know about the timing of everything, but I wonder who the UM faithful would rather have now - Trgovac or Robinson? Again, the timing of Trgovac's leaving was after the hire of Robinson, but it is an interesting development. Might be something to watch in the future.

By GBW's Sam Webb... Jones thinks he'll be at UM in June (enrolling) and UM is the clear favorite for his signature on signing day. May still take another visit, Tennessee?

DT DeQuinta Jones has been a longtime soft verbal to UM, with much concern that he'd get away.

Scout.com: 2009 Pre-Preseason Rankings - No. 51 to 75
57. Michigan 2008 Record: 3-9 2008 Final CFN Season Rank: 97
As bad as things were last year, they can?t get any worse offensively. Four games were lost by a touchdown or less, including the opening day defeat to Utah. For good or bad, ten starters are back on offense, but the defense takes a huge hit with Tim Jamison, Terrence Taylor, and Will Johnson gone off the line. Three starters are gone off the back seven, but star punter Zoltan Mesko is back.

Mesko was a big help for them with a defense that could stop people. Their D last year got a bad rap because they were put back on the field after 3 and outs so many times. With the D they're going to field this year...ouch. Their offense better figure out how to sustain a drive or it won't just be a losing season, it'll be a losing season full of blowout losses.
