I think I'm going to start calling the Dominance Ranking "Davey's Bane." For Mr. O'Brien, and anyone else with that axe to grind, remember-- this is not a power poll, a resume poll, or any other kind of poll, for that matter. The Dominance Ranking is a measure of how badly a team clobbers its opponents. It's ranking in order of the sum of each team's national rank in scoring offense and scoring defense. This is math, kids-- not science, and certainly no art.
It may be time for another weekly mention-- the SunBelt team of the week. Arkansas State is, besides bowl eligible, ranked in the top 25. Well done, Red Wolves (or, as we right wingers still prefer, Indians.) Teams #26 through 120 below the jump.
