I'm not understanding the relevance of schedule strength to these rankings. If the 30th best team went 0-12 against the top 12 teams, that wouldn't make them the 64th best team.
It sounds like Vandy and Syracuse are expected to go around .500 against very tough schedules. Aren't there more than five teams we'd expect to fare worse in those situations?
Autoplay videos have been the bane of my existence. I added an extension once to block them, but it blocked every single image from loading and was annoying. My life is now measurably better than it was four minutes ago.
If we allow unlimimted subs, that means we can mandate that players who go down with an injury be replaced by a sub. Not only do we get fresher players with more action, we get less diving. Sign me up to watch those games.
Seriously, as much as Americans muck-up soccer, this is one thing youth soccer here gets right.
I'm probably dating myself here, but the "Fresh Five" will always be the incoming class of 1994:
Maurice Taylor (Detroit Henry Ford MI)
Maceo Baston (H.G. Spruce High, Dallas TX)
Jerod Ward (Clinton High MS)
Travis Conlin (Lakeshore High, St. Claire Shores MI)
Willie Mitchell (Detroit Pershing MI)

Ugh. Fixed that once, and then my post got erased. Forgot to fix it the next time I pasted in the names.
Also forgot to cite the source of all the names (I remembered "Fresh Five" but not every member of the class): http://www.umhoops.com/history/past-classes/
