College Football - Early Season Fun

[Drake Tungsten]

God, I hate Kirk Ferentz. Only Jim Tressel has smaller balls...

[Guynemer]

What the **** was that happy horse****?

[Guynemer]

Maybe RichRod lost the battle to win the war (teach Forcier)? I don't know. Puzzling.

[Drake Tungsten]

I don't know why they didn't put Forcier back in. Seemed dumb, almost as dumb as picking Iowa to cover two weeks in a row.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Florida's defense looked impressive today, but then again, LSU doesn't exactly have the most dynamic offense.

Not like the late games are going to impact my rankings:

1) Florida
2) Texas
3) Alabama
4) Southern California
5) Ohio State
6) Boise State
7) Cincinnati
8) Virginia Tech
9) Texas Christian
10) Oregon

Nothing really changed for mine this week (I flipped Virginia Tech with Texas Christian). Oregon has a somewhat tenuous grip on #10 after today's game with Miami, Iowa and Penn State nipping at the heels.

Then again, perhaps TCU should be the one in danger of losing its spot...

Undefeated Report headed into Week 7...

We're down to 9 teams, just as predicted. Here I've listed them along with the best team they've beaten.

ACC (0)
Big 12 (2): Texas (Texas Tech), Kansas (Southern Miss)
Big East (2): Cincinnati (Oregon State), South Florida (Florida State)
Big Ten (1): Iowa (Penn State)
C-USA (0)
Independants (0)
MAC (0)
MWC (1): TCU (Clemson)
Pac-10 (0)
SEC (2): Florida (LSU), Alabama (Virginia Tech)
Sun Belt (0)
WAC (1): Boise State (Oregon)


Alabama has "the best win" to date, followed by Florida; Boise State and Iowa would probably comprise the next tier. Kansas is the lone remaining team without a truly noteworthy victory, though TCU isn't exactly hot ****.

This week, there is one game between undefeated teams:
Cincinnati at South Florida


Other games that look like trouble for undefeated teams:
Texas vs. Oklahoma
Iowa at Wisconsin
Boise State at Tulsa


Less likely to cause trouble, but the potential is there:
Kansas at Colorado
Florida vs. Arkansas
Alabama vs. South Carolina


Should cruise:
TCU vs. Colorado State



This week is hard to predict. I think Texas loses to Oklahoma. Cincy-USF is a coin toss; I'm leaning towards a Bearcats victory. I think Kansas goes down in an upset, but other teams survive close calls.

Kansas is the lone remaining team without a truly noteworthy victory

Texas' win over Texas Tech isn't that noteworthy.

[Guynemer]

I don't know why they didn't put Forcier back in. Seemed dumb, almost as dumb as picking Iowa to cover two weeks in a row.

I have no idea who he thought he was throwing to in that last play. There were at least two Wolverine receivers who were open 10-15 yards downfield, and he throws a wounded duck to nobody 35 yards down the sideline.

[Guynemer]

Kansas is the lone remaining team without a truly noteworthy victory

Texas' win over Texas Tech isn't that noteworthy.

I didn't say it was a great win. But it's a damn sight better than Southern Miss and Clemson.

[Drake Tungsten]

Why are you taking Sloww's side?

[Guynemer]

1. Alabama
2. Boise State
3. Florida
4. Texas
5. Virginia Tech
6. Cincinnati
7. Iowa
8. Oregon
9. USC
10. Nebraska


Not particularly thrilled with those bottom two, but no one else has really knocked my socks off yet. TCU, Miami, Penn State, and Ohio State, in some ill-defined order, would be the next few teams on the list. Beyond that, who the **** knows.

[Guynemer]

Why are you taking Sloww's side?

I feel so dirty.

No worries. It won't matter after next week.

[Drake Tungsten]

From your lips to God's ears.

[Guynemer]

For your lips to God's ears.

That sounds vaguely sexual. What, is KH not man enough for you? You're a doctor chaser now? Golddigging slut.






I should also add USF to my list of maybe, maybe not teams.

[Drake Tungsten]

What, is KH not man enough for you?

No, he's not. Never was.
