Now if someone would kick Brown in the ass we'd have all Ivies in the top half.

The sum of those points is 1945. 25 voters each ranking 1-12 with 1st worth 12, 2nd worth 11, etc. should give 25 * 78 = 1950 points, so something else is also probably wrong.

So I wonder about all those who loved to wax eloquently about the former Yale coach. Coach of the year multiple times but no championship till he leaves.::screwy::
