I think he was trying to quote. It is verbatim.

Yeah, I tried to shorten the quote and lost the identifiers.  Sorry.

Sorry, been distracted by interest in my college football board game I made from scratch.  Answering questions and sharing files and all that.

Results:
48  Florida (16-0-0)
32  Wisconsin (0-16-0)
16  Pitt (0-0-16)

Sorry if some of the trios are like this one, we've got a glut of diverse schools that have finished both 1st in one trio and 3rd in another, and we're sorting through them now, with schools that have two 2nd-place finishes as well.

Texas


Some California directional school of no particular note


Some Kansas directional school of no particular note.


I guess the last state was named by a pirate living in Kansas, which makes no sense to me.

USC and Texas are both helmets. Texas has been off my radar for football stuff for about a decade now. USC just won the Rose I'll give them a recency bump.

USC
Texas
Arkansas - should be every voters 3rd place

Texas- fading but it's a tall mountain they have to slide down

USC- same as above only not quite as high and they seem to have found a ledge to cling to

Ark- big hill they are rolling off

USC and Texas are close for me several reasons.  But one is those are the major helmets I wasn't really exposed to or aware of as much when I was a kid.  They are the two most western helmets and back in the 80s I just didn't see much of either team.  These are two schools whose history I didn't have an appreciation of until I was an adult.


Anyway, USC gets the edge for me for a couple reasons.  USC sort of had an aura about them for that stretch in the early 00s.  They reminded me of Miami in the 80s where it almost felt like they were fielding a quasi pro team.  Their A game felt better than anyone else's.  The irony of Texas being the school to end that isn't lost on me.  Nevertheless, I never felt that watching Texas.


The other thing is since WVU entered the Big 12 I haven't experienced "helmet" Texas.  I'm sure that is coming at some point and I will despise it but WVU has taken 3 of 5 and that shapes my perception.


USC
Texas
Arkansas

I wonder if the Cotton Bowl being relegated to irrelevance the last 20 years hinders Texas in something like this...random, I know.  But it may.
