Whatever happens on the field saturday, being rid of this infestation of double digit IQ's is a major win for all of us. Then we have a few weeks of peace before the Bison set in to tell us how they're a top-10 all-time FCS program after zero years.

The 113th ranked National University is making this claim? It's a good school, but it's not elite, and it's not in the top tier, or even top two tiers, of DI football schools in terms of academics. Hell, Iowa has two state FBS schools that are better than BYU in terms of academics.

Per UNI's front page (www.uni.edu)

For the 12th consecutive year, UNI is ranked second in the "Best Midwest Universities -- Master's" category for public universities, according to U.S. News & World Report's 2009 "America's Best Colleges" guidebook.

UNI - #17 Masters

I have no doubt that the University of Northern Iowa is a fine school, but so is BYU. The average high school GPA to even get into BYU is 3.8 in a university with 30,000 plus students. Not bad for a bunch of dolts with double-digit IQs.

The larger question is, how does one determine the IQ of an entire fan base based on a few posts on a college football message board? Sheesh, this is some of most inane banter I've ever heard.

Who on this board did that? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I have yet to read a UNI fan who has painted with such a broad brush. The posts you're referring to are correctly pointing out a couple of idiots in your fan base, nothing more. One in particular seems to think that BYU's D Line rivals the '85 Bears...there's no way we'll be able to gain yard one on the ground

Fair enough. We definitely have some overzealous fans.

The '85 bears comment was an exaggeration. However, BYU is very good against the run. Last year BYU was ranked 9th in rushing defense (http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank....shdef&site=org) and didn't allow a single 100 yard rusher. The D line is the strength of the BYU defense this year. Corey Lewis will gain some yards, but it won't be easy.

In an era of grade inflation, high entrance GPA's (when many of the best students work on a 5 point system anyway) isn't indicative of much.

The rankings aren't great, but they are what they are. The claim was made that most of Division I couldn't make a claim over the academics of BYU, when in fact the entire Big Ten, most of the Big XII, most of the Pac-10 and a number of FCS and FBS Mid-Majors can make just that claim.

OK, Newsbreaker. BYU sucks at academics. I mean after all, if US News and World Report says something, by golly that's the final word. You talk like you have some kind of huge inferiority complex.

Your first paragraph is complete nonsense. Let me tell you what the 3.8 average GPA (out of 4.0, not 5.0) for entering freshmen means. It means that BYU is able to attract a lot of smart kids (30,000+) that otherwise would be going to some of the other schools you mention. And the obvious reason for that, as you would have us believe, is because they want to get an inferior education at BYU.

Give it a rest, will you? You don't know anything about BYU.

I didn't say BYU "sucks" at anything. I pointed out that the claim that "very few" DI football schools had anything over BYU in terms of academics was patently untrue. By the most widely accepted objective measurement, BYU is not quite on the level portrayed. That has been shown and proven now.

The GPA discussion is completely separate. Besides providing no documentation for the "3.8" number, you're wrong that every one of those students is on a 4.0 system. Many, many, many, many schools operate on a 5.0 system now, inflating grade point averages. Grade inflation is a major issue in education, and one you should spend a little time examining before you attempt to discuss the subject.

We are merely refuting BYUTexan's argument that BYU is academically head and shoulders above "most other division 1a schools." More specifically that BYU is not head and shoulders above us.

I want to make sure I understand your logic (which is remarkably similar to BYUTexan's). If ISU is big time, simply because they are in the Big 12 (not because of the quality of their team), then where exactly does that put UNI? But wait, ISU is big time and UNI beat ISU, therefore UNI > big time. Got it.

I have no opinion on which school is better academically. Like in Football they appear to be in separate 'divisions' in the US NEWS' rankings with BYU placed among the 'National' universities and UNI in the 'Masters' section.

I will say that after reviewing the criteria that is used to do the rankings I am not surprised that BYU does not rank that high. Fully 65% of the scoring weight is based on things that BYU would not show well in.

For Example: 25% is based on Peer evaluation, meaning that administrators from other universities give their opinion on the level of academics at another school. It is very well documented in this region, based on lawsuits and other incidents that most other administrators think that BYU lacks 'Academic Freedom' because of how tightly controlled it is by its sponsoring institution. This may be true, I don't know. What I do know is that the majority of the students don't have an issue with it.

20% is based on retention. Our missionary program hurts us here as retention is defined as the percentage of freshman who return then next year and the percentage of students who graduate in 6 years. Pretty tough to score well here when on average 80% of your male freshmen leave school voluntarily after their first year to serve 2 year missions. This also makes it hard for anyone to graduate in 6 years.

20% on Faculty resources, defined as percentage of small(20 students or less) and large(more than 30 students) classes and on Faculty pay. Our faculty is not paid well, based against the national average. There are many reasons for this but the fact is they aren't. It is also true that most of the general ed classes for freshman and sophmores are very large, though once you get into higher level classes they get smaller, though very few are as small as 20 students.

Anyway I just thought it was a good idea to show this, before we make to much of rankings - football or otherwise- it's always good to understand the formula behind it.

[Dingo]

Good points, TripleCrownCoug. The USN&WR rankings provide some useful information, but by no means do they tell the whole story or describe, in any definitive way, the quality of education one will receive at a particular institution. No single ranking system can take into account all of the unique strenghts and weaknesses of all the major colleges. In BYU's case, there are numerous other ranking systems in which BYU is ranked very highly. For example:

• BYU's Marriott business school is ranked #1 in the Regional Ranking category of the Wall Street Journal/Harris business school survey (http://www.harrisinteractive.com/services/bschools.asp).
• Both the business school and law school are consistently ranked highly, even in USN&WR (29 and 46 respectively this year). See http://marriottschool.byu.edu/news/rankings.cfm for more business school rankings.
• Last year the Princeton Review ranked BYU #1 in the Best Value Private College category, which takes into account the quality of the education students receive weighed against the cost of tuition.
• I saw another ranking a year or so ago in which BYU ranked 10th nationally in the number of alumni who go on to earn PhDs.

The point is not to boast or try to say BYU is better than another university. But to claim that BYU is "not in the top tier, or even top two tiers, of DI football schools in terms of academics" is not really accurate, particularly when you base your argument on one ranking system.

It's like you guys can't see each other's posts, and think every post by a UNI fan is made without reference to any earlier BYU-fan post. It's fascinating.

To return to the "GPA" argument...the 3.8 GPA (still with nothing to back that claim up) wasn't made in reference to the US News rankings, I referenced the rankings to show that objectively, BYU isn't on the academic level claimed. Showing that US News converts 5.0 to a 4.0 scale doesn't make the point if the original claim didn't reference the US News rankings.

Newsbreaker, you made your lame argument to put BYU football in its place in response to BYUTexan's comment about UNI being 1aa and BYU being big time. Yeah, I got your point. And in the process you definitely put UNI it its place as well (my point).

Regarding the GPA argument, I'm starting to think you have a serious learning disability. I gave you two links, both of which back up the 3.8 GPA claim. Did you even look at the sources? Now you're just rambling incoherently.

Give it up, man. You don't know what you're talking about.

[Newsbreaker]

Do I have a link? Yes.

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...-search/page+5

I understand by page 5, what with all those unrecognizable schools comprising #1 - #113, you might've given up, and hence missed BYU as a school.



Learning disability? I have a learning disability, but not one of your own who claimed that BYU holds an academic prestige over "most of division I".

By a quick, rough count, I found 54 FBS football schools ranked more highly than BYU. That's almost half of the total number of FBS teams. I guess by "not many" what he meant to say was "almost half." FWIW, I didn't include FCS teams, which would increase that number by about a dozen, nor am I going to argue with you over the very highly ranked FCS (and a few FBS) teams that don't appear on the "national" list because they have a more regional scope.

By the way, BYU has a raw score of "37." UNI has a raw score of "58." Higher is better. Hell, most schools on the field Saturday night can make a claim to being a better academic school than BYU.

Of course there are very highly regarded programs at any school any significant number of students might want to attend, and as a better-than-average school BYU is no different. Putting the highly regarded programs into the context of the total raw score, it would make an objective observer question what sort of regard the rest of the university is held in. If something is high, but the average is not, something is bringing the highly regarded programs down.

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...ege/items/1890

I understand that by "you don't know what you're talking about" what you really mean is "BYU is the best school in Utah, and is my school, therefore it has to be one of the best anywhere" but unfortunately for you (I'd probably just blame this on your Utah education if I were you ) I, and the other UNI graduates, are smart enough to see evidence for evidence and understand what it means.

Before I go...you're two links of "evidence" don't prove your point. The first just lists GPA, but it doesn't say that it's "converted". The second says explicitly that the GPA score is...get ready for it..."Average GPA (unadjusted)".

Don't take it too hard...I'm sure your football team will perform much more impressively than you have.

OK, Newsbreaker. I'm going to bottom line this thing for you, because critical thinking does not appear to be your strength.

I have argued that you cannot accurately measure the quality of academics using a single ranking system and that you have to consult a variety of measures to gain a clear understanding of what an institution has to offer.

Your entire argument regarding the relative quality of education at BYU hinges on the US News & World Report ranking. That is the only source you have cited and you seem to have unquestioning trust that its rankings are objective, accurate and reliable, and, consequently, proof that BYU's academics are at best "better than average" due to the 113 ranking.

Now if the USN&WR rankings for BYU and UNI are to be considered objective facts, one would expect that a similar picture could be drawn from other ranking systems, because after all, we're talking about object facts here. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Compare the following:

US News Rankings
BYU 113 (raw score 37)
UNI 17 (raw score 58)
Source: http://www.usnews.com/sections/rankings

Forbes Rankings
BYU 217
UNI 472
Source: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/94/...eges_Rank.html

How does one explain the disparity? After all, I thought we were talking about objective facts. And since you provided the profound insight that "higher is better", one is left with a bit of a quandry--which higher is better?

The point, in case you missed it, is that the ranking is not necessarily a reliable and objective measure. Some of the inputs are, but as the example above shows, the methodology used by the ranking system affects the outcome rather than reflecting some kind of objective reality.

Dale Rogers Marshall, President of Wheaton College, puts it this way:

"As a social scientist, I am acutely aware that quantitative measures of quality are inherently imperfect. Combining many disparate measures into a single ranking does students a disservice by pretending it's possible to reduce the multiple dimensions of a college experience to a single number. This can make schools of similar quality appear far apart. The difference in scores between schools among the "top 50 national liberal arts colleges" is so small as to be meaningless. At the same time a single ranking can obscure real differences.

Equally important is the fact that the rankings reflect a skewed picture of higher education. The ratings are overly reliant on measuring each college's wealth and reputation, "measuring inputs such as faculty salaries, test scores of incoming freshmen and alumni giving rather than what kind of learning is really taking place on campus," according to an article published by U.S. News itself."

Source: http://www.collegenews.org/x2732.xml

The reality is that the methodology used by USN&WR is seriously flawed. There are myriad sources you can consult that detail the flaws in the methodology used in the rankings. Here's but one: http://www.johnlocke.org/acrobat/pop...-inquiry17.pdf. Because the methodology is so flawed, only 46% of colleges now participate in the USN&WR survey.

Robert L. Woodbury, former chancellor of the University of Maine system, says the following about the USN&WR ranking methodology:

"Ultimately, what's more important than any particular strategy is understanding the assumptions, approach and methodology that governs the ratings game. When Consumer Reports rates and compares cars, it measures them on the basis of categories such as performance, safety, reliability and value. It tries to measure "outputs" -- in short, what the car does. U.S. News mostly looks at "inputs" (money spent, class size, test scores of students, degrees held by faculty) rather than assessing what the college or university actually accomplishes for students over the life of their enrollment. If Consumer Reports functioned like U.S. News, it would rank cars on the amount of steel and plastic used in their construction, the opinions of competing car dealers, the driving skills of customers, the percentage of managers and sales people with MBAs and the sticker price on the vehicle (the higher, the better)."

Source: http://www.college-advisor.com/articles/fudging.html

By itself, the USN&WR rankings "prove" nothing. The "objective observer" will consider the implications of the methodology used rather than placing unquestioning confidence in a single number spit out by a single ranking system.

Of course there are very highly regarded programs at any school any significant number of students might want to attend, and as a better-than-average school BYU is no different. Putting the highly regarded programs into the context of the total raw score, it would make an objective observer question what sort of regard the rest of the university is held in. If something is high, but the average is not, something is bringing the highly regarded programs down.

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...ege/items/1890

What you fail to consider is that that "something" may very well be the flaws in the methodology used to determine the rankings.

I understand that by "you don't know what you're talking about" what you really mean is "BYU is the best school in Utah, and is my school, therefore it has to be one of the best anywhere" but unfortunately for you (I'd probably just blame this on your Utah education if I were you ) I, and the other UNI graduates, are smart enough to see evidence for evidence and understand what it means.

This is a pathetic attempt at a strawman argument and more accurately reflects your own lack of critical thinking. You would say, "The USN&WR ranks BYU at 113 and University of Utah at 127, therefore you will get a better education at BYU." After all, relying on a simple ranking is a lot easier than doing your homework and weighing all the relevant information.

I would say it depends on your educational goals, the major you intend to pursue, what you value in education, what you intend to do after college and many other variables. Depending on those factors, the University of Utah may very well be the best choice and provide the best educational opportunity for you.

Before I go...you're two links of "evidence" don't prove your point. The first just lists GPA, but it doesn't say that it's "converted". The second says explicitly that the GPA score is...get ready for it..."Average GPA (unadjusted)".

Umm...transcripts are required in the university admissions process. If a different grading scale was used in high school, which is not nearly as common as you assert, then it is converted to the scale used by the institution. BYU uses a 4.0 scale.

Go back and look at the graphic at the bottom of http://saas.byu.edu/admissionsservic...e_averages.htm. If you don't accept that 5.0 scale GPAs (if in fact any even applied) are converted to 4.0, then please explain the absence of the GPAs above 4.0. The burden of proof shifts to you to provide documentation showing that 5.0 scale GPAs are skewing the 3.8/4.0 GPA requirement of BYU.

The term "unadjusted GPA" has nothing to do with the 5.0 GPA scale. It has to do with whether or not adjustments are applied to account for more difficult classes taken and higher numbers of credits. Most universities use unadjusted GPAs for entering freshmen. Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Don't take it too hard...I'm sure your football team will perform much more impressively than you have.

Weak. No response necessary.
