I think you mentioned that you saved these up until 2000 or so. Did USA Today keep publishing complete ratings like this for that whole time?
ReplyDeleteyes. I think the lists were published until at least 2004. I remember purchasing a paper that year (after 4 years) and they had the chart plus added grafts and other info.
