Interesting Question for you...

[ChappyCat]

I am conducting a research test to see (blindly) which of the following teams have made the most impressive turnaround in college football history. Please list your TOP THREE based on the data below and to be fair, don't cheat or try to identify the teams beyond just the data.


Just simply reply your top three (ex: A, B, C). I will tally the results and identify ALL the teams after a week of posts.

This is for a project I am working on (sorry the format isn't that viewer- friendly. I didn't know how to embed an image in the text box). Thanks fellas!

Just looking at YOY, several are in the argument. But when you take in all factors, it's a certain Team F to me.

I'll go F, G, J

 

[CatChatAR]

F, C, G

You didn't ask, but to me I put significant weight on previous winning seasons over the last 20 years

 

[FanatiCat]

I wonder who team F is...that's my vote
F,G,J

 

[EvanstonCat]

G (this was also obvious to me)
J

 

[Catreporter]

Interesting read. It gives you an idea how monumental 1995 was. "Belief without evidence" as Gary would say.
