There also seems to be a longevity/age component to these rankings.  My take is that Dabo Swinney, at just 50, is the youngest coach to make the list.  Shaw has three more years until he reaches that ripe old age.  Probably Pete Carroll (at #37) has the shortest NCAA head-coaching tenure of anybody on the list (9 seasons); but he packed a lot into those nine years (and some controversy, as well).
