Bowling Green, Northern Illinois tops in spending/success ratio

SB Nation College Football put up a lovely-looking chart a couple days ago that compared every FBS football program over the last ten years to their football success on the field, using numbers from the U.S. Department of Education, combined with a composite of popular ranking polls to determine the results for each team.

To determine these rankings, SB Nation compiled the numbers from the Department of Education, converted those into rankings, then averaged the rankings. They compared those rankings to the Massey Polls average rating of each team over the last ten years, and then totaled together the numbers to create a sum.
