CollegeFootballNews.com has lost it

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.

Calm down Razor and take a closer look at the numbers.

You do realize that these rankings don't have anything to do with anything important. They have Toledo and Northern Ill in the top 60's. I would put both of them in the 40's. Akron should probably fall right in the high 50's lower 60's.

Obviously they aren't seedings in a tournament.
My point is, some writer is underrating Akron.
