Comprehensive Rate That Uni Rankings

Today marked the finish of our Rate That Uni series that got us through the doldrums of the college football offseason. We, along with our friend John, had always found ourselves discussing the uniforms we saw on the field via Twitter, so thought we could turn it into a series to get some discussion going. We did get that discussion going, as well as stirring up some anger as well. As we've stated many times, we don't claim to be the ultimate fashion experts, these were just our opinions on what works, and what teams can do to improve their look. This is why we wanted to give you the opportunity to rate the uniforms yourself as well.

Below is a complete, comprehensive ranking of all the uniforms we rated from schools in the West. These are the results based on our panelists' grades. We will follow up next week with a final list of how you, the fans, rated the uniforms presented.

Grade point to letter grade conversions are so wrong. On a 4.0 scale each band should be 0.8 units long, but A and F are .5 and the rest are 1.0. Seems like a 5.0 scale would make more sense anyway...

Sorry. I just subjectively chose to cut off each grade at .5 (So an A- stretches to 3.5, B+ is 3.0-3.49, etc.
