Dunkel Index has LSU as #2. I always remember following this ranking as a kid, seeing where LSU was listed. It's the original power rating system for all kinds of sports. Point spreads are produced based on his power ratings.
dunkel's always been pretty terrible odds-wise. this vegas list isnt so bad but notre dame is a good team at best. certainly not top 10. their defense is so weak an actual top 10 team will run roughshod over them in a bcs bowl. Something I may decide to cash in on. Wait, has that bill passed yet banning monies to offshore.
I followed the Dunkel too, only thing my paper carried besides AP. I also used to look forward to the BOTTOM 10. That was some funny stuff. Wonder whatever happened to that ?

whoa, Nelly...what kind of bullcorn ranking dosen't have Notre Dame with a single digit ranking, hmmm?
To me, Vegas is king. They have the most riding on whether they are right or not. I actually think they have a better pulse on sports than anyone. By the way. Do you know what the line was on LSU last week? LSU minus 4! I'd say they know what they're talking about.
