Cool idea, but we all know how easily manipulated academic rankings can be, and when it comes to "Student-Athletes," it's even worse.

Well, they are using official APR ratings.   In the event of a tie, using GSR rates....both are tracked by the NCAA.

Arizona over Miami????
Duke over Yale???

However, no issue with both Oregon schools losing in first round seems appropriate

All about APR and GSR, so presumably Yale or Miami had a bunch of kids not finish up properly.

Which might be because the classes at Yale and Miami are a bit more challenging....
