Boy, I dunno...we only recently discovered there is such a thing as 'geography' and that was related to Michigan too. It seems like there should be a factor for: in-state recruits (+), out-of-state recruits (-) [country, continent, hemisphere??], school population versus square miles of the state in question, elavation of the running courses available to the campi at hand, number of runners that school has sent to the Olympics (only counts if they won a gold medal), whether the available course is certified by the forces for good in the running community as being accurate to at least 4 decimal places, tastefulness and style of the uniforms, number of books the coach has authored, number of times the coach has appeared on Oprah's show, and stuff like that -- if you want credibility.
That is what this list is about, isn't it. Credibility?
