APR Rates-- You're going to LOVE this

PrintNote: Edited due to my misremembering the information on Ted Miller's blog. UCLA is in fact 1 spot LOWER than previously written. UW comes in at #4.
If this has already been discussed, then I apologize, but I didn't see it anywhere in the fan posts, and I figured it deserves it's own discussion here. The latest Academic Progress Rates are out, and you can probably guess who is #1: Stanford. But that's not the awesome part.
1. Stanford 984
2. Cal 970
3. USC 956
4. UW 954
5. UCLA 948
What I found interesting about this whole ordeal, is all we have heard the last few years is how much more intelligent UCLA's players are then the rest of the Pac-10, hell MAYBE EVEN THE COUNTRY. Numbers don't lie Bruins. Both USC and Cal, who you HATE, are actually, indeed, SMARTER THAN YOU.
Let the Oregon State shit talking begin, say what you will, but its UCLA that this concerns.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Another interesting tidbit, that only 2 Pac10 schools fell below the APR penalty line of 925. I wonder how the other conferences stack up. I’m sure that Pac10 remains supreme on FBS conferences.
I support Takimoto in his effort to support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
we posted about it ad naseum (law term) in the DBD, but you can’t really be expected to wade through that swamp. Thanks for fanposting it though! this continues the trend of people posting APR results on other boards (rocksanddirt posted in on BN)
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
Yeah I figured it was in there but I figured what the hell
In case people didn’t see it there, it’d be easy to debate here

Ahead in all categories
APR, U.S. news college rankings, Director’s cup (just to throw that in there)…
Neuweasel and Bruinsnation can cry all they want, but the numbers tell a different story.
higher academic standards for recruits, huh? well I guess it’s not the same for admitted athletes. Also, is it just me or does it seem as though UCLA has a better recruiting class than Cal in football year after year? Not to mention that they have elite recruits in basketball, so I don’t see how that excuse holds up.
I am impressed about USC. Now, who did they pay to get those numbers? I want names, people!

Maybe I am missing something...
But looking at the scores posted on Miller’s blog, it would appear that ucla is #5 not #4…
UW has a score 954
Ah musta missed that

Stanfurd’s got gradeflation (set curve at B+)
Cal is the default winner.
Rec the shit out this post.

I saw this too
Can’t say I’m surprised by these numbers, though apologists for Ucla will be all over either some sort of grade inflation conspiracy at Cal, or that the poor numbers by their football players actually proves the classes are more difficult in Westwood High.
Of course, then there are the basketball numbers, which show Uclas players very high while Cal’s are pretty bad. In that instance, of course the good people at bn would conclude it proves that only the smarter students enter Ucla.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. All this really says is that our football team is progressing better along the lines prescribed by the NCAA and according to the criteria, they do better academically.
Doesn’t matter. babybruins are still a pack of stinky doo-dooheads with a girly blue color and icky faces.
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
no one has commented on my fan post
at BN on this topic…..
do they have a dbd/time wasting thread like we do where it might be discussed?

They don’t like hearing the truth. I’m surprised it’s still up there. They delete my fan posts and comments all the time, unless it fits into their “BRUIN domiNATION” attitude

The big secret?
Their attitude is more Bruins Dominatrix.

So you’re saying that CGB is tied up and gagged while Nestor and his crew run around in leather, ass-less chaps with choke chains that say “Daddy” on them, mercilessly whipping all other blogs into submission? Interesting.

Oh noes! This pushed my NHL thread out! Now where will I post stuff about the Canucks that no one else will read!?!?
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.
the NBA thread?

If it makes you feel any better, the NBA thread is about to disappear, too.

perhaps, you should try creating a thread where only Cal football fans born in Indiana can partake. Then you can talk all the hockey you want.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
