Confirming Metaphysical Good and Evil

It's always gratifying when someone goes to the trouble to confirm which college football programs have actual admissions standards and which factories will admit anything with functional brain activity. So many thanks to the Orlando Sentinel for showing that Michigan, Virginia and Georgia all have actual standards, whereas their rivals predominantly do not. I will now do my superior dance.

(One caveat: the Sentinel's rankings are done in an apparently subjective fashion where the sources of the rankings are not disclosed. However, since the rankings conform closely to my "factory/not a factory" preconceptions, they must be right.)

I'd love to see Michigan stop playing Notre Dame and start rotating major opponents on a home-and-away basis. Ohio State has the right idea. They have a two-year series with Texas, followed by Miami and then USC. Those match-ups are fresh, as opposed to the tepid old Michigan-ND game, which helps ND far more than Michigan.
