"Here at Bottom 10 Headquarters, located behind the footlocker on the "College GameDay" bus where Nick Saban keeps his secret stash of "Anchor Down" Vanderbilt football apparel, we are beginning to worry that perhaps those of you who visit these rankings, as the kids say, "on the regular" might be like those who benefited from Saban's time in Tuscaloosa.
