We do not wikilink ranks. This is a standard all through out the Wikipedia College Football Project, its not just Ole Miss. The reason you don't wikilink a specific rank is because you are not sending it to a specific page about THAT ranking, you are sending them to a page about the rankings of the season. The ranking is already identified. Now if you want to start a ranking chart like sever other team pages have (examples: 2008 Alabama and 2008 LSU) that would be appropriate to wikilink to 2008 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings because it refers to the entire season and progression of the college football rankings from that year. Not just one ranking. Hope that makes sense to you. Rtr10 ( talk) 06:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Caused way too much dead space with the
- when the season ends, it'll fill itself out with content to where there won't be an issue with the schedule box but in all honesty, if someone would clean up that ugly SEC standings template and make it more streamlined, that would fix this issue and other SEC team pages as well. - ✰ ALLST☆R✰ echo 03:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
The BowlTourneyResult is for the result of the bowl game. As stated before 'TBD' is not a result of a game and does not belong in that field. There is a hanging comma because the game has not been played yet. The correct formatting for this template is to leave the 'BowlTourneyResult' field blank until there is an actual result to the game. This is the same format used on pages all through out the college football project. And as for your statement in your edit reversion summary "TBD is being used everywhere else I've seen on other teams w/ upcoming bowl games" I just looked at eight random team pages and didn't see a single other page other than Texas Tech that had TBD in the result field of the info box. It is simply not the correct format. Rtr10 ( talk) 07:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
The Rankings chart is specifically formatted to fit each ranking into ONE column. The column that says Final is for rankings that are released AFTER the College Bowl season. Out of the four rankings listed in the chart, only the AP and Coaches polls publish a Final ranking after the bowl games are complete. The Week 15 rankings are the last rankings published by Harris Interactive Poll nor are the Bowl Championship Series statement, that is why they are not listed in the Final chart. This is a standard used all through out the College Football Project, not just on this specific page. For examples see 2008 Florida Gators, 2008 Oklahoma Sooners, 2008 Utah Utes, 2008 Texas Longhorns, 2008 Alabama Crimson Tide. It is not just this one little thing on this specific article, it is a standard used in the project. A standard is used to lessen confusion among readers reading multiple pages through out the College Football Project. The Final column is for the final rankings published after bowl season, only two polls publish those rankings and that is why there are only two polls listed in the column with the other two empty, which pretty clearly indicates the other two polls do not publish a poll after the bowl games. If you have questions about the format, feel free to leave a message here or on my talk page and I'll be happy to answer. Rtr10 ( talk) 18:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
