[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 494801, member: 282"] If I just responded off the cuff, I'd say there are multiple levels, and Alabama is at one level, and Clemson and UGA are at a next level, then teams 4-10 or 12 are at another, then other groups. So, I thought I'd look Here's F+ (combined FEI and S&P+) [ATTACH=full]4570[/ATTACH] It looks pretty smooth to me, like there are gradual differences between teams. This is one of the better ratings for Tech, putting us at #47. Others are less flattering. It doesn't look like there are levels to me. It looks like there is a massive climb from us to the top 25, much less the top 5 playoff caliber teams. But it's all made up of individual teams, and not any real "levels". Is it money? I think that's a big part of it. Here's the 2016-2017 [URL='http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/']NCAA Athletic Finances[/URL].

Not really us. If it's a $$$ problem, then we need to get smarter at how we spend our money and get more in. At any rate, we have 46 teams to climb over to get to the top, and Clemson just has one or two. Just to get into the top 25, we've got 22 teams to climb over, and 26 teams to climb over in terms of budget and fan revenue. So, this is where we are. [/QUOTE]
