#1?

Ann Arbor is the number one college sports town in America, according to Forbes magazine, which is well-known for its sports expertise. And by "well" I mean "not-at-all". The criteria used are listed in the article. They seem reasonable, and I'm sure Forbes was very methodical and analytical in putting together the list. Heck, even after the past two years, there's probably a strong argument to be made for Ann Arbor. But look at some of the other cities on the list:

#3 Norman, OK (OU)
#4 Palo Alto, CA (Stanford)
#9 College Park, MD (Maryland)
#10 State College, PA (PSU)

State College? Stanford? I think there might be something important missing in these rankings.
