I would say that any team that makes it to the Boro is an elite team, dont you think? 28, 25,and 10....add it up. If Gleason plays so weak how come nobody came close to beating them? They had much better games during the season that were nail biters, all from one of the worst schedules, according to OS91. Read OS91's posts and you will see crying and bashing Gleason for the past two weeks. AS far as politics, every individual award depends alot on how one sells theirself, so in my opinion politics does play a role.
