TI’s Look at the TOP 10



OK, so the original topic of these articles was to look at the Top Ten and who was in the Bucks way of reaching the BCS Promised Land. Since we are in danger of not even making it to a Bowl Game …. Let alone a BCS game … We will look at the Top Teams and some of our opponents, and look at the National Stats



So why are these teams where they are, and why are we where we are …… Statistics do not always tell the whole truth … but they look pretty reliable from here …..
