LOL. "Learn to HTML" should be "Learn how to write HTML" and I am a programmer that learned HTML 20 years ago. This is plain text.

There, something like that is much easier to read, and no one cares about rankings outside of the top 25. Plus you have mistakes in your plain text, so it sucks.

[thebootfitter]

I agree that the tabular format is much easier to read, and if Wallace really does know HTML well, then there is no good excuse not to use it in this context.

However, I prefer that the rankings for teams outside of the top 25 be included. I believe it is useful information to know whether a team lost to #26 or #126, for example. Yes, usually I have a pretty fair understanding where teams fall in the general pecking order, but it is still useful information if you ask me.

Fair criticism. I just think the format needs some work, cause it's terrible reading that plain text.

Agreed. No argument here.

That's both scary and funny if true.

That's even funnier, as I was contemplating making a joke about censorship and communist China.
