A Groupthink-Free Top 25 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I look at most Top 25 rankings, they’re almost identical. Maybe one has BYU at 14 while another has them at 16, and maybe spots 23–25 are different, but for the most part, they’re all the same. I have a hard time believing that if everyone made their own Top 25 completely independently, without the groupthink that can subconsciously influence us, they’d look this similar.In this Top 25, I’m not trying to be different for the sake of being different.
