And you people, #youpeople, have the audacity to put this man sixth when the teams that he went three and O against last year are ranked one, two?
Have we learned nothing?
No, not we.
I learned.
I won't have him outside the top five, but the coaches do, and you guys actually have to face him.
That's the crazy part.
