Some guy named Tom Dienhart at The Sporting News decided to rank the BCS coaches. It’s an exercise in futility, much like all lists are (including our college football rankings!). And it made us angry. Perhaps you’ll feel the same way.

We’ll let you handle the heavy lifting (pounding Dienhart), but here are just a few of the rankings that pushed us to the edge of catatonia:

12. Urban Meyer, Florida: Let’s see .. the guy won at Bowling Green, took Utah to a New Year’s Day bowl game (victory) and won a National title in his second year at Florida. There are 11 better coaches in the country than this guy? Are we sure Dienhart has a pulse?

33. Greg Schiano, Rutgers: If, with a straight face, you can tell us that Schiano is just the fourth best coach in the Big East, we will give up watching Lost and buy you two upper deck tickets to a MLB game in your city this summer. Problem is, there’s absolutely no logic that you can present to back this up. Nada. You’d have an easier time convincing Ron Artest to feed his dog or getting Paul Goodell to reduce Pacman’s suspension.

The Top of the ACC: Wake Forest’s Jim Grobe may just ‘walk on water’ as his next trick, but how can you tell us that he’s a better coach than Frank Beamer, who has built an empire in Blacksburg? Tom O’ Brien, ranked third in the conference, won six straight bowl games at BC before leaving for NC State. Outstanding. Bobby Bowden only checks in at fourth in the league, despite being the winningest coach in NCAA history (among other accolades). Anybody home?

Just what are the criteria for these rankings, Tommy?
