I also agree with his ranking of "The Wire". Wife and I have been binge watching for the last week.

Nice article.

Hate to be that freeloader, but could I get the cliff notes on what it says about App? It's behind the ESPN+ paywall and I'm not a subscriber.

In a nutshell; It’s a clear indication that ESPN is running out of things to write about. Seriously though, it’s a proposal to do away with polls and have tiers and the author used Netflix shows to correlate the teams in the tier.

Thank you for the summary!

As the lack of sports continues, it's only a matter of time before we get articles comparing each top 25 team to a TikTok influencer.

It takes the top 50ish teams and breaks them into 6 tiers, with App being tier 4.

Anyone who thinks UNC is a relevant football program is not a credible source. Its lazy writing and its insulting to the sport as a whole.

They sacrificed academic integrity for athletic eligibility. Their fan base is paper thin and if it wasn't for guys like this who keep saying they're name they would only be an after thought.

They were lumped into a group that it basically said gets a lot of hype for no good reason. I don’t really read that as a compliment to UNC.

He is contributing to the hype.
