So I really dont understand the barners logic about Bama not caring about academics. I guess they just decide to completely ignore the facts like these. Well, now that I think about it, I guess I shouldnt be surprised at all. Roll Academics Roll

barner logic is a classic definition of an oxymoron.

Their logic is not what can be proven - its whatever they can sell and hope some of it sticks. If you say things enough, regardless if its true or not - maybe some will believe you?

Just updated the story and added the top 25 single-year scores.
A couple of things that caught my eye:
1) I can pretty much guarantee that this is the first time that none of the military academies finished in the top 25 in single-year scores.
Air Force 971
Army 959
Navy 959
2) All the following single-year scores caused me to say "Really?"
Southern California 925
Texas 914
Oklahoma State 903
Florida International 897
North Carolina 895

Funny that Texas and UNC wanted no part of the SEC because of "less commitment to academics"!

It's a well known fact that if the word "logic" is followed by an adjective reference of negative tone, it will forever be classified as an oxymoron.
And "barner" certainly tops the list in reference described above.
