Re: Ouch, Tech\'s WRs rated 10th in ACC
Has to do with fanbase. The larger your fanbase, the higher your rankings. Bottom line. It's all about money. Large fanbases don't want to hear their teams stink. So all the sports media tells them their teams are good. Small fanbases don't wield enough dollars to get good rankings. In the end, it's what happens on the field that matters. Look at the silver lining. To all your SEC fan friends, during pre-season act all bummed and depressed about having a low ranked team. Then when Tech starts out-performing preseason expectations as they always do because of the small fanbase effect, act all shocked and surprised and start gloating and gleeful, and do an embarrassing little dance around them that will make them clench their fists in rage and grit their teeth until they fracture into shards of fury and envy. Even though all along you weren't surprised that Tech is doing as well as it is, they will think that you are ecstatic with glee and they will be envious and knowing that they are envious will be a great reward.
