Fun With Rankings

The Sonoma State men's soccer team awoke this morning to find that the powers-that-be have declared them the No. 2 team in the nation. Head coach Marcus Ziemer downplayed the accomplishment, stating that the only ranking that matters is the one at the end of the year. Very true.

The ranking got me thinking. Do you realize that in the past five months, three different Sonoma State teams have been ranked in the top two in the nation? Men's Golf was No. 2 heading into the national championship tournament (they were No. 1 for much of the season before that) and baseball was No. 2 going into the World Series.

Not many schools can claim something like this.
