sans serif][size=-1]Score: 88.61 2004 Ranking: 10 2003 Ranking: 24
Program Analysis: There's not much of a shock here considering USC's amazing three year run, but it took a lot to just nip past Oklahoma. The lack of a Pac 10 championship game made this closer than you might have thought. The 20 Quality Wins are amazing and the 36 wins is tremendous with the potential to be even higher next year if the Trojans win another national title. Most impressively, USC has only lost three games over the last three seasons (Cal in 2003 and Kansas State and Washington State in 2002). The draft and attendance scores will only go up over the next few years.

Program Analysis: Considering the Sooners haven't won a national championship over the last three years, it's impressive how close they came to finishing number one in the rankings. The draft score went up in a big way after 11 players were drafted in 2005, while the Attendance Score keeps climbing up. The wins are the most impressive aspect of the equation with 36 over the last three seasons and a whopping 19 Quality Wins. More impressive than anything else is OU's record in the regular season over the last three seasons going 33-2 with 24 straight over the last two years.

Program Analysis: Ohio State takes a bit of a step back and should fall back even further next year after the 14-0 2002 season doesn't count towards the total score. The Attendance Score remains one of the most impressive in college football, while the draft score is the best in the country. Even with a bit of a down year in 2004, winning 75% of Big Ten games is still excellent.

Program Analysis: With 32 D-I wins over the last three seasons, Georgia stays in the top four only slipping because of USC ascension to the top spot. The 20 Quality Wins ties the Trojans for the best in college football, while the attendance and draft scores are among the best. You're doing something right when you win close to 80% of SEC games.

sans serif][size=-1] 2004 Ranking: 1 2003 Ranking: 1
Program Analysis: Miami falls out of the top spot after two years as the runaway leader, but it still hangs around the top five thanks to 31 wins. Losing the twelve-win, 2001 national title season hurt, but the biggest problem, at least when it comes to being among the best of the best, if the lousy Attendance Score. Losing over 10,000 fans per game from 2002 to 2004 shows the fair-weather nature of the city of Miami. Also interesting to note is the drop in drafted players with only five taken in 2005.

Program Analysis: With two straight trips to the Rose Bowl and a Big Ten winning percentage of 83%, Michigan creeps up once again in the rankings knocking on the door of the top five. The Attendance Score remains the best in college football, while the 29 wins and 15 Quality Wins are outstanding. Considering how strong Michigan is academically, the 57% graduation rate seems a bit low.

Program Analysis: From 36 to 12 to 7, Iowa has quickly moved its way up into the ranks of the elite under head coach Kirk Ferentz. The Hawkeyes tied Michigan with an 83% Big Ten winning percentage. There are more wins and more Quality Wins than the Wolverines, but the Attendance Score is the difference between the two.

Program Analysis: Florida State might be coming off a big of a disappointing 2004 season finishing 9-3, but it moved up one spot after the 8-4 2001 season went off the books. The Draft Score is just behind Ohio State and Miami while the 83% ACC winning percentage remains impressive. In the tougher new ACC world, that might be tough to keep so high. This might not be the monster program it was six years ago, but it's still a powerhouse.

sans serif][size=-1] Score: 74.05 2004 Ranking: 11 2003 Ranking: 13
Program Analysis: If you're looking for a tangible reason why Texas keeps losing to Oklahoma, look at the Draft Score. Mack Brown's supposedly top recruiting classes only yielded 11 drafted players over the last three seasons, while OU has sent 18 players to the next level (and Jason White isn't included in that number). Take away the Oklahoma games and it's hard to find many more impressive programs than Texas going 31-3 vs. everyone but OU. Only USC, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Boise State have more wins over the last three seasons.

Program Analysis: It's easy to forget that outside of the 2002 national championship, LSU never lost fewer than three games under Nick Saban. The Attendance Score has gone up, and the Draft Score will go way up over the next few seasons. However, there has to be more wins and an even better SEC winning percentage (75% isn't bad at all) to close the gap with the rest of the top ten.

Canes are the #1 program for producing stud players for the NFL in the last 3 years. Albeit there players might end up car jacking someone but no other college is close.

THREE BIG TEN teams in the top seven........pretty impressive stat for the BIG TEN.

Here is a tidbit

Since 1980, Georgia has never lost a bowl game by more than 7 points.

Pretty impressive!
