If you look at he top 10 team in the 6th, 7th, 11th, and 9th I think They would have to be the strongest. Maybe not the top three or four but all the way through they are strong.
I really do not think that 10 days of practice in the fall would do much, but in the same breath, 10 days of football in the spring is the same. How can an AD vote for one and not the other, they are bieng a hypocrite.
