Well of course the whiner rah-rahs will try to pump up their region's toughness and try to act like every other area is a cupcake, even though as usual they have Bearly a clue in their head.
So there's these things called rankings and ratings that supposedly have some relevance, even if most of the ESPN pundits don't care about such useless tools. Now Charlie and Graham take a bit of a peek at these tools since they realize that the Louisville region has the most grit with four fairly well matched top 10 type teams. As always the west region this year in Stanford is the cupcake by all the ratings tools. The ND region beats out Lincoln as the next most wussy.
So yeah, Mechelle, Michelle, Kate, Charlie, and Graham, maybe you could actually provide some statistical reasons for your guesses. And maybe it's time for little Bears fan to grow up and get a clue if granny will let him.
