Dear College Football Fans,

  In my humble opinion, 2001 was the very best Miami team in that school's
illustrious football history by a long shot - one that belongs in the pantheon
of greatest-ever college football teams.  An interesting statistic - Miami's
Points Fielded (512) versus Points Allowed (117) ratio.  A stunning 81.4% of
total points involving Miami were Points Fielded - proof of an outstanding
offense AND an incredibly impermeable defense. (By contrast, BYU 's 618PF and
424PA yields PF 59.3% - i.e, a great offense but holes in the defense).  Coaches
can use this ratio as an easy indicator of where their own team is heading if
looked at as a trend - and can quickly spot what's hurting, offense or defense.

  No two years in college football resemble one another which is what makes
college ball such an exciting game.  This year was a mirror opposite of last
year - another aeriel offense team from the state of Florida back to prove the
supremacy of "air" over "ground" to a Great Plains team.  A coach new to his
team takes them to the National Championship (not heard of since the days of
Black & White TV, no?) and Bobby Bowden's Florida State is not a Top 10 team
after almost a decade of battling it out as a National Champ contender year
after year... Imagine the Ducks and Fighting Illini the class of the field in
their respective conferences!  Can you believe in the rise of Terrapins and
Gamecocks?

  Where are the Wolverines, the Trojans, and the Crimson Tide?  And the Fighting
Irish actually struggled to find a new Coach?  Just a few examples of the
current sea change in college ball dynamics!!

  Hope you enjoy my 2001 QPRS American College Football Rankings.  A Happy 2002 to all of
you.

Best regards,

Clyde
