    Don't ask me how, but I had a peak at th revised SAT. I can't remember much but in the math section one question was to give the next number in the series:

    5, 3, 1

    I'm just an old Poli Sci man, so I can't figure this one out. Math majors, would the correct answer be an "irrational" number?

    Can a football team be ranked -1 at the end of a season? Would this be the first time for it to happen?

    LSU was #5 at the end of '05, #3 in '06, and #1 in '07.

    Thus my dilemma.

    We are automatically awarded the trophy at the beginning of the season.

    You didn't get the memo, obviously.

    Kinda like when you did so well during the semester in one of your classes and you were exempt fom finals.
