APR Rankings to Go Along With Earlier Article

Here are the up-to-date, as accurate as can be, rankings of how the majority (113 out of 120 possible) of D-I, BCS, college coaches rank as far as success OFF the field. The seven coaches left off the list are in their first seasons, so, understandably, it's hard to gather data about them since these numbers are collective from the 2003/04 season up to the 2008/09 one. Below are the top 25 and bottom 25 coaches as far as academic success rates in the NCAA. The grade is out of 1000, that being the best.
