Kentucky is closer to the center than I thought they would be. They have been pretty dreadful since Brooks retired.

[RedTeamGo!]

University of Toledo right in the middle - I like it.

I am surprised OSU is not in the embarrassing powerhouse section.

[Boston Red]

Not a good time to be an Iowa fan. Ouch.

[westofyou]

No football at my school.

[RedTeamGo!]

Not a good time to be an Iowa fan. Ouch.

They are listed as admirable and powerhouse

whats wrong with that?

[medford]

Maybe he meant Idaho or Southern Miss (not sure if that is their logo or someone elses int he bottom left that looks a little similar to the Iowa Hawkeye symbol you see in the upper right corner)

[BuckeyeRed27]

From the article on how the verticle axis work:

"We decided the thin line between admirable and embarrassing with a weighted calculation of every team's academic performance, NCAA violation and probationary record, attendance figures, off-season arrests, total funding it takes from the university or state and amount that student fees subsidize the athletic department."

[Boston Red]

They are listed as admirable and powerhouse

whats wrong with that?

I was seeing Southern Miss and thinking Iowa.

[RedTeamGo!]

Ahhhh, I see the confusion now.

[Caveat Emperor]

Ah, reliable Tulane -- at the back of the line where it belongs.

[Boston Red]

The Big Ten (or however many) must be a pretty admirable place. I mean, Purdue, Nebraska, Minnesota, IU, Northwestern and Wisconsin are all more admirable than West Point, Annapolis AND the Air Force Academy.

We are on the winning sides!

[SunDeck]

Wait, IU is on the right side of the power line? How can that be? They won five games in 2013. Four in 2012. Once in 2011. They use home games against tOSU to take their flyover pictures of Memorial Stadium because that's the only time they can get a full house of people wearing red.

But but but, This year is different. We'll go at least two weeks into the season without losing.

I think this sheds a light on why the B1G has fallen so far behind the SEC. :)

[*BaseClogger*]

My favorite part is Ohio State right above Auburn on the admirable scale...

Not just the SEC...they've fallen below the Big 12 and PAC 12

And the mighty Hoosiers are at it again, with a loss to the ever dominating BGSU.
