Addendum for SI: The College Football Issue

Submitted by Devon on August 6, 2008 – View Comments

Right after I posted about Sports Illustrated ranking Penn State #22, I got the SI College Football Issue in the mail.  What stands out is their Big Ten rankings which perplex me on so many levels:

Ohio State (11-1)

Wisconsin (10-2)

Indiana (4-8)

Illinois (8-4)

Iowa (8-4)

Penn State (8-4)

Michigan State (7-5)

Northwestern (7-5)

Michigan (5-7)

Purdue (5-7)

Minnesota (4-8)

Iowa at #4 above Penn State?  Michigan at 5-7 and behind Iowa and Northwestern?  These guys have seriously lost it.

Oh yeah, and one more thing: I looked over their complete predictions and even though they predict both Penn State and Oregon State to go 8-4, they predict us to beat Oregon State.  Yet SI ranks Oregon State ahead of PSU.  Does that make sense to anyone?

    for years it seems that S.I. has gone "outside the box" on their college football (and basketball) picks. I'm guessing they do it just to create buzz about their magazine. This year's big ten ranking reminds me a lot of their march madness picks. Sometimes those can be just as wild.
