I'm smellin' the finish line, Doc. What conclusions I'll draw when I'm all finished and wrap it all into a bow, who knows?

I know that it would be a mountainous task, but when you have crossed the finish line, it would be fun to have a list of Average RPI of Opponents from strongest to weakest. I ain't gonna do that, and wouldn't blame you if you didn't either.
 

I could probably do that, Doc, wouldn't be real difficult. I have them in order (toughest to weakest) as I'm going along.

For some reason, I suspected you would, my friend. We are not as stupid as some people think I look. :)
