Often, I have praised CollegeFootballNews.com for its insight.
I take it back. All of it.
The site ranks Akron as the 90th best team in the country. I would list some of the teams in front of Akron, but it would make me too angry. You can check for yourself.
OK. I understand you have to earn praise. And I don't think J.D. Brookhart's Zips want anything handed to them. BUT COME ON! Akron is behind Cincinnati, Bowling Green, Duke, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, SMU, Louisiana Tech. AGHH! (Howard Dean-style yell)
I told you that would get me angry.
Correction: In my haste, I misread the standings. Many of those teams are, in fact, below Akron in the rankings. That does nothing to cure their severe underrating of the Zips.
