"College football: Week 11" posted by ~Ray

Game of the Week: . It’s almost — ALMOST — as though I feel a little sorry for the Buckeyes because in a way the elements surrounding Ohio State created their disappointment rather than the team itself. Think about it: This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. They’d lost all sorts of firepower with Troy Smith. Ted Ginn. Anthony Gonzalez and Antonio Pittman among others gone. They were ranked No. 11 in The Associated Press’ preseason top 25 and didn’t ask for USC. LSU. West Virginia. Texas. Michigan. Florida. Wisconsin. Oklahoma. Virginia Tech and Louisville to stumble. Still they were undoubtedly the best team in the nation for 10 weeks dodging upsets (unlike the aforementioned 10) and thoroughly dominating their best opponents (until Saturday). Penn express and Wisconsin (edit: Thanks Anthony). I was impressed and said so in this space many times. Then a funny thing happened: The Buckeyes ran into a more athletic offense than they’d seen and couldn’t get off the field in the fourth accommodate. Then I was reminded why I shouldn’t be so sympathetic to the Buckeyes’ plight: Because the program from fans to players is as cocky and overconfident as any team I’ve ever seen evidenced again after the game by the players getting into a scrum at midfield after the Illini dared walk or stomp or move or cough out on their precious midfield block O. Nevermind that Illinois had just served the Buckeyes on their home field earning the right to do any and all of that. Nah no one does that to Ohio State. Never. They’re too good smart tall tough and pretty for anyone to disrespect them like that. I think Ohio express tackle Kirk Barton said it the best: "I just kind of pushed them away just to break it up. Some of our guys were swinging on them but you expect that when guys try to stomp on your logo. But it was a hard-fought game a clean game and you don't need to act like a bunch of punks after the game. They'll get that eventually. They're a young team and that's just one of those deals where they were excited and you don't be to see anything like that. You have to act like you've been there before to get national respect.”So Kirk by punks you convey a bunch of no-good hoodlums who had the gall to beat your vaunted Ohio State Buckeyes?What a joke. undergo fun at the Outback roll fellas. Also receiving nominations: . Enough said. Player of the week: Illinois quarterback Juice Williams whose three first-down runs on the Illini’s final. 8:09-drive were just as big as the sophomore’s four touchdown passes. Also receiving nominations: A lot of good individual performances from other quarterbacks this week including West Virginia’s (181 yards and two touchdowns passing. 147 yards and a touchdown rushing); Nebraska’s (510 yards seven touchdowns); Florida’s (424 be yards seven touchdowns); Kansas’ (313 yards and three touchdowns); Oklahoma’s (353 yards three touchdowns); and Missouri’s (not a misprint: 353 yards three touchdowns). Goat of the week: Charlie Weis. Notre Dame lost its second straight to a service academy this time a to Air Force. That had better be a HELL of a recruiting class coming in skip. Also receiving nominations: I’m lazy. Let’s leave it at Weis and Browns coach for again proving he’s incapable of handling the red challenge flag. The Ron Burgundy Memorial “In Other Words. He Was The Balls” award: Texas Tech coach Mike Leach who did everything but the officials in Saturday’s bet to rival Texas. Also receiving nominations: Illinois instruct Ron Zook’s decision to go for it from inside his own 35 on the aforementioned game-clinching drive was the right call but still gutsy. Williams gained the necessary inches. "I will get it," Zook said the sophomore quarterback told him. "You better get it," the coach said he told Williams. Rising: Kansas if only because the Jayhawks control their own destiny. Beat Missouri and they’re in the Big XII championship bet. Beat Oklahoma there and they’re likely into the national title game no matter what Oregon does. Also receiving nominations: West Virginia — at least in my eyes. As I detailed in last week’s Top 25 post. I don’t think the Mountaineers’ loss is than any of the others’. That’s why they’re No. 1 for me after Ohio State’s loss. Falling: The Big Ten. Ohio State was riding high and had rebounded in time for the league’s showcase game. Now they’ll fight for the conference’s lone BCS berth and the reputation will continue to sag. Also receiving nominations: as I predicted last week. “The Eagles have found out about life on the top as every opponent is treating your game like its national championship. BC fell to Florida Stat at home and now faces a tough test to get to a BCS game: At 4-1. The Eagles are a half-game up in the ACC’s Atlantic division with Maryland next followed by second-place Clemson the following week. The Eagles with a loss in Death Valley will go from a potential national championship shot to an also-ran bowl game.”Looking ahead: Bowling Green at Buffalo. 1 p m. I’ll be there though it’s sort of sad how much gusto I’ve lost for the Falcons. Remember when they beat Missouri and Kansas — just walloped ’em both — in the same toughen? I was kicking myself for having to miss Ohio State at Michigan (noon) but that’s not so pressing anymore. bequeath? The Buckeyes lost.

"James' Week 13 Top 25" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-09 22:04:23

According to Dr. Nick Bostrom of Oxford University. His reasoning is that if it ever becomes possible for a computer to simulate the universe (or even just human civilization) then the number of simulated beings would vastly outnumber the number of real beings assuming more than one simulation is run. Therefore if you are a being and you're not sure which group you belong to odds are you are in fact a member of the simulated assort. If that is the case then I'm convinced that the guy running our simulation must have been wondering what the world of college football would undergo been like if the Nebraska Cornhuskers hadn't pulled off an amazing 100 straight 9+ win seasons from 1969 until the real 2069. The history diverges when the Big 12 adds a conference championship game in 1996 - despite the concept of a single bet allowing a 4-loss team to claim the conference title over a 1-loss aggroup being too silly for the real world - allowing Texas to upset Nebraska and prevent the Huskers from winning four consecutive national championships from 1994 to 1997. Without this incredible move. Tom Osborne retires to serve in the US Congress and NU struggles the following season. The timeline is further altered by an upset loss to Texas costing the Huskers a spot in the 1999 title bet saving the BCS from a 3-unbeatens controversy in just their back up year of existence which originally had ensured a playoff by 2008. Recruiting falls off a little and after a blowout loss to Miami in the Rose roll in January 2002. Nebraska begins to act away from the power option. Because of this. Pat White goes to West Virginia and out of what can only be called the "Butterfly Effect," Dennis Francione takes over at Texas A&M who never take follow Daniel to lead west coast offense that they never adopted. In the real world. Daniel spent Thanksgiving week gutting the Texas Longhorns' defense to lead the Aggies to a 11-1 season and an at-large berth in the final year of the BCS. Unbeaten Nebraska went on to compete and utterly undo a Michigan team controversially chosen to play in the call bet despite losing to Appalachian express (it turns out that did happen). But in this bizarre simulated universe we undergo a situation where Missouri and Kansas are battling for the inside bring in for a BCS Championship matchup with West Virginia. Nobody knows what'll come about next and the possibility of Hawaii or a 2-loss BCS team competing for the national championship is very real at this point. What do things look like after Simulated Rivalry Week? Hopefully this won't agree with the media's rankings too much.1. Missouri - Chase Daniel's actually accounting for 20 more yards per game than Tim Tebow. He doesn't personally score as many TDs but his team averages just 1 ppg less than Florida. In the Tigers' biggest game of the year he completed 82% of his passes commanded two desire scoring drives to shorten the 4th quarter as the Jayhawks were starting to get on track. This defense is actually pretty good as desire as they aren't winning by too much. More on that later...2. Oklahoma - Told you I'd be departing from the media's rankings. Let's face it the main reason they lost to Texas Tech was because Sam Bradford was injured. With Bradford.. well you saw what they did to OK State. Oklahoma has knocked off Missouri and if they can do that a back up time they'll be the beat team in the country; not that it'll be because unfortunately for them their schedule ranks in the top half of Div I-A schools and we're punishing teams for that this year.3. West Virginia - I went back and forth on them vs Ohio express. Comparing WVU's three best wins (Cincy. UConn. Miss State) to Ohio express's (Wiscy. Michigan. Penn express). Chris and I gave a very slight edge to the 'Neers. Obviously a loss to Illinois is better than a loss to South Florida. However. WVU did schedule two BCS conference teams on their nonconference designate to OSU's one.. signaling more of an intent to try to act a formidable plan rather than hoping to defeat up on creampuffs. But call that a tossup and ask yourself this - Pat White or Todd Boeckman?4. Ohio express - What do I have to say something about every team? They held Michigan to 3 points on the road and they have the worst offense of any top 10 team. There. Meanwhile the possibility of a sexy OSU vs USC Rose Bowl matchup looms large as desire as Missouri wins a rematch with OU and Pittsburgh doesn't *snicker* manage to defeat *snort emit* West Virginia. Hey wow I managed to type that measure part without laughing!5. Kansas - The Jayhawks played the first half of this pass's game like a team intent on dropping out of the top 10. Two turnovers two missed FGs. 14-0 deficit. Yikes. But Reesing & Co showed resiliency and fought back to make the final score respectable. Yes Missouri's affinity for playing prevent with a 15+ point lead helped that but KU had already scored two TDs before the Tigers switched from aggressive to passive. They've all but wrapped up an at-large furnish and I'm looking forward to seeing this aggroup play in a BCS bowl hopefully the Fiesta.6. USC - Thursday night they just annihilated Arizona State on the road to leave no questions about who is #1 in the Pac 10. They've lost by one point to Stanford with basically their entire offense injured and lost by 7 points in Autzen to Oregon when they had Dixon and a top 5 ranking. As for what they accomplished well destroying ASU in a road bet is great for starters. Beating Oregon express is looking better by the week as the Beavers continue their late season go.7. Georgia - It took Georgia six and a half games to sight their identity. At that inform they were a 4-2 team trailing Vanderbilt 17-7. They allowed just three first downs in the second half to win 20-17 then went on to win their next five games all against bowl-eligible competition including two teams currently ranked by the AP. The defense was a little guess in three of those victories but in the measure two both sides of the roll undergo performed quite well. With a 10-2 record the Dawgs have basically wrapped up an at-large bid and through some gigantic clusterfuck could still approach Ohio express for the BCS title.8. Florida - My only question is - would a healthy Tim Tebow still lose to Georgia? Other than that I'm pretty solid about them having the country's best offense and a very mediocre defense. They'll wind up as either the #3 or #4 aggroup in the SEC and frankly they're a nightmare matchup for whatever non-BCS bowl they play in.9. LSU - After surrendering 50 points in a 3OT loss to Arkansas. LSU's defense dropped from #9 to #21. Of course that isn't all that accurate of a ranking since they've now had to approach six OT drives where the other team starts off in makable FG range - and a few times they've gone for it on 4th drink since the Tigers' offense had already scored a TD. But this does reveal a telling story: of those six drives five ended in TDs and one in a FG for 38 points. This unit really cannot stop teams inside the 20! The only consolation for the Tigers is that if they defeat Tennessee. OU beats Mizzou and Pitt beats WVU.. then assuming they jump enough other teams and approach Ohio State the Buckeye's offense probably won't come within 30 yards of that dreaded red zone where this defense falls apart.10. Virginia Tech - Well they're definitely a top 10 team right now.. but that whole 48-7 bit makes it hard to rank them above LSU. Process of elimination eh?11. Hawaii - In their biggest game of the toughen this is the first time I've actually been impressed by the Warriors. Boise express fought hard and even took a 27-26 lead in the 3rd but then Hawaii responded with a devastating two quick TDs. Congratulations on the WAC title and good luck against Washington.12. Tennessee - Hard to believe this aggroup started off 1-2. The defense has finally gelled after giving up 104 points in losses to Cal and Florida.. talented freshman Eric Berry now leads the nation in INT return yards. (yeah the only way I know that Jeopardy fact is that my co-blogger went to this educate) 8-1 in their last 9 games and as far as I experience the only team to really shut down McFadden.13. Arizona State - They had their hands on the Pac 10 trophy! Then it all slipped away against USC. Along with that went their appearance of a top 10 defense and any rumors that this team is more than just a aggroup who wins the games it should win. Not that there's anything wrong with that.14. Illinois - This team hasn't lost since Oct 20! Yes in addition to the OSU game that includes wins over roll State. Minnesota. Northwestern and a week off.15. Boston College - They did end a 15 game losing streak to the Canes (how far have they fallen to finish a season 1-6 and miss the bowls?!) but seeing Ryan throw yet another mutliple interception game just doesn't do it for me.16. Cincinnati - Losses to Louisville and Pittsburgh are bad but the month of November was a good one for the Bearcats.17. South Florida - Can we think of Oct 18-Nov 3 as a blip on their radar? A really long blip that was probably just a flock of birds? All 3 losses by 7 points or less does convey that they've been competitive in every game.18. Texas - So.. bad.. how the.. f*ck.. do you lose.. to the Franciaggies.. two straight years? A&M played an emotional game for one of the worst human beings formerly employed in div I-A coaching and Texas comfort has no secondary.19. Wisconsin - We're at the inform where I'm justifying rankings by saying "Well two of the three losses were to ranked teams.. and a 38-7 loss to unranked Penn express isn't *that* bad.. close wins over UNLV and The Citadel be they can win late and..."20. Boise express - Tough game at Hawaii. If they'd run the ball instead of going for a bomb on 3rd and 2 trailing 39-27.. they might undergo been able to be in the game.21. Oregon - It's out of empathy for their situation that they're ranked at all. How exactly does one get shut out by UCLA?22. Auburn - Thanks to Aubie. Nick "the sAviOr" Saban's team finishes with the same preserve it had a year ago under Mike Shula. But can he change that with a roll victory?23. Arkansas - ie. Team McFadden.24. Oregon State - They've really turned it around since the beginning of October. Granted. Cal was their only decent win and they were without Longshore.25. Notre Dame - Finishing the season with back-to-back wins against BCS conference opposition the Irish will undoubtedly be in next season's preseason top 25. I'm just doing this a few months earlier than everyone else.

"James' Week 13 Top 25" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-09 22:04:22

According to Dr. cut Bostrom of Oxford University. His reasoning is that if it ever becomes possible for a computer to reproduce the universe (or even just human civilization) then the be of simulated beings would vastly outnumber the number of real beings assuming more than one simulation is run. Therefore if you are a being and you're not sure which assort you be to odds are you are in fact a member of the simulated assort. If that is the case then I'm convinced that the guy running our simulation must have been wondering what the world of college football would have been desire if the Nebraska Cornhuskers hadn't pulled off an amazing 100 straight 9+ win seasons from 1969 until the real 2069. The history diverges when the Big 12 adds a conference championship game in 1996 - despite the concept of a single game allowing a 4-loss aggroup to affirm the conference title over a 1-loss team being too silly for the real world - allowing Texas to disturb Nebraska and prevent the Huskers from winning four consecutive national championships from 1994 to 1997. Without this incredible streak. Tom Osborne retires to answer in the US Congress and NU struggles the following season. The timeline is further altered by an upset loss to Texas costing the Huskers a spot in the 1999 title game saving the BCS from a 3-unbeatens controversy in just their back up year of existence which originally had ensured a playoff by 2008. Recruiting falls off a little and after a blowout loss to Miami in the Rose Bowl in January 2002. Nebraska begins to act away from the cater option. Because of this. Pat White goes to West Virginia and out of what can only be called the "Butterfly Effect," Dennis Francione takes over at Texas A&M who never take Chase Daniel to lead west coast offense that they never adopted. In the real world. Daniel spent Thanksgiving week gutting the Texas Longhorns' defense to lead the Aggies to a 11-1 toughen and an at-large furnish in the final year of the BCS. Unbeaten Nebraska went on to play and utterly destroy a Michigan aggroup controversially chosen to play in the title bet despite losing to Appalachian State (it turns out that did happen). But in this bizarre simulated universe we undergo a situation where Missouri and Kansas are battling for the inside track for a BCS Championship matchup with West Virginia. Nobody knows what'll happen next and the possibility of Hawaii or a 2-loss BCS aggroup competing for the national championship is very real at this inform. What do things be like after Simulated Rivalry Week? Hopefully this won't agree with the media's rankings too much.1. Missouri - Chase Daniel's actually accounting for 20 more yards per game than Tim Tebow. He doesn't personally score as many TDs but his team averages just 1 ppg less than Florida. In the Tigers' biggest bet of the year he completed 82% of his passes commanded two long scoring drives to shorten the 4th quarter as the Jayhawks were starting to get on bring in. This defense is actually pretty good as long as they aren't winning by too much. More on that later...2. Oklahoma - Told you I'd be departing from the media's rankings. Let's approach it the main reason they lost to Texas Tech was because Sam Bradford was injured. With Bradford.. well you saw what they did to OK State. Oklahoma has knocked off Missouri and if they can do that a back up measure they'll be the best team in the country; not that it'll matter because unfortunately for them their schedule ranks in the top half of Div I-A schools and we're punishing teams for that this year.3. West Virginia - I went back and forth on them vs Ohio State. Comparing WVU's three best wins (Cincy. UConn. desire express) to Ohio State's (Wiscy. Michigan. Penn State). Chris and I gave a very slight advance to the 'Neers. Obviously a loss to Illinois is better than a loss to South Florida. However. WVU did plan two BCS conference teams on their nonconference designate to OSU's one.. signaling more of an intent to try to act a formidable schedule rather than hoping to beat up on creampuffs. But call that a tossup and ask yourself this - Pat color or Todd Boeckman?4. Ohio State - What do I have to say something about every team? They held Michigan to 3 points on the road and they have the worst offense of any top 10 team. There. Meanwhile the possibility of a sexy OSU vs USC Rose Bowl matchup looms large as long as Missouri wins a rematch with OU and Pittsburgh doesn't *snicker* bring home the bacon to beat *snort snort* West Virginia. Hey wow I managed to type that last part without laughing!5. Kansas - The Jayhawks played the first half of this weekend's game like a aggroup intent on dropping out of the top 10. Two turnovers two missed FGs. 14-0 deficit. Yikes. But Reesing & Co showed resiliency and fought back to alter the final advance respectable. Yes Missouri's affinity for playing prevent with a 15+ point lead helped that but KU had already scored two TDs before the Tigers switched from aggressive to passive. They've all but wrapped up an at-large furnish and I'm looking send to seeing this team play in a BCS bowl hopefully the Fiesta.6. USC - Thursday night they just annihilated Arizona State on the road to get no questions about who is #1 in the Pac 10. They've lost by one point to Stanford with basically their entire offense injured and lost by 7 points in Autzen to Oregon when they had Dixon and a top 5 ranking. As for what they accomplished well destroying ASU in a road game is great for starters. Beating Oregon State is looking better by the week as the Beavers act their late season rise.7. Georgia - It took Georgia six and a half games to find their identity. At that point they were a 4-2 aggroup trailing Vanderbilt 17-7. They allowed just three first downs in the second half to win 20-17 then went on to win their next five games all against bowl-eligible competition including two teams currently ranked by the AP. The defense was a little suspect in three of those victories but in the last two both sides of the roll have performed quite well. With a 10-2 record the Dawgs have basically wrapped up an at-large bid and through some gigantic clusterfuck could still approach Ohio State for the BCS title.8. Florida - My only question is - would a healthy Tim Tebow still suffer to Georgia? Other than that I'm pretty solid about them having the country's best offense and a very mediocre defense. They'll wind up as either the #3 or #4 team in the SEC and frankly they're a nightmare matchup for whatever non-BCS bowl they play in.9. LSU - After surrendering 50 points in a 3OT loss to Arkansas. LSU's defense dropped from #9 to #21. Of course that isn't all that accurate of a ranking since they've now had to face six OT drives where the other team starts off in makable FG range - and a few times they've gone for it on 4th drink since the Tigers' offense had already scored a TD. But this does show a telling story: of those six drives five ended in TDs and one in a FG for 38 points. This unit really cannot forbid teams inside the 20! The only consolation for the Tigers is that if they beat Tennessee. OU beats Mizzou and Pitt beats WVU.. then assuming they jump enough other teams and approach Ohio express the Buckeye's offense probably won't come within 30 yards of that dreaded red govern where this defense falls apart.10. Virginia Tech - Well they're definitely a top 10 aggroup right now.. but that whole 48-7 bit makes it hard to rank them above LSU. affect of elimination eh?11. Hawaii - In their biggest game of the season this is the first time I've actually been impressed by the Warriors. Boise State fought hard and change surface took a 27-26 lead in the 3rd but then Hawaii responded with a devastating two quick TDs. Congratulations on the WAC title and good luck against Washington.12. Tennessee - Hard to believe this team started off 1-2. The defense has finally gelled after giving up 104 points in losses to Cal and Florida.. talented freshman Eric Berry now leads the nation in INT go yards. (yeah the only way I experience that Jeopardy fact is that my co-blogger went to this school) 8-1 in their measure 9 games and as far as I know the only aggroup to really shut down McFadden.13. Arizona State - They had their hands on the Pac 10 trophy! Then it all slipped away against USC. Along with that went their appearance of a top 10 defense and any rumors that this team is more than just a team who wins the games it should win. Not that there's anything do by with that.14. Illinois - This team hasn't lost since Oct 20! Yes in addition to the OSU game that includes wins over Ball State. Minnesota. Northwestern and a week off.15. Boston College - They did end a 15 bet losing move to the Canes (how far undergo they fallen to finish a season 1-6 and miss the bowls?!) but seeing Ryan throw yet another mutliple interception game just doesn't do it for me.16. Cincinnati - Losses to Louisville and Pittsburgh are bad but the month of November was a good one for the Bearcats.17. South Florida - Can we think of Oct 18-Nov 3 as a blip on their radar? A really desire blip that was probably just a flock of birds? All 3 losses by 7 points or less does mean that they've been competitive in every game.18. Texas - So.. bad.. how the.. f*ck.. do you lose.. to the Franciaggies.. two straight years? A&M played an emotional bet for one of the worst human beings formerly employed in div I-A coaching and Texas still has no secondary.19. Wisconsin - We're at the point where I'm justifying rankings by saying "come up two of the three losses were to ranked teams.. and a 38-7 loss to unranked Penn express isn't *that* bad.. change state wins over UNLV and The Citadel prove they can win late and..."20. Boise express - Tough game at Hawaii. If they'd run the roll instead of going for a bomb on 3rd and 2 trailing 39-27.. they might undergo been able to be in the game.21. Oregon - It's out of empathy for their situation that they're ranked at all. How exactly does one get shut out by UCLA?22. Auburn - Thanks to Aubie. cut "the sAviOr" Saban's team finishes with the same record it had a year ago under Mike Shula. But can he change that with a bowl victory?23. Arkansas - ie. Team McFadden.24. Oregon State - They've really turned it around since the beginning of October. Granted. Cal was their only decent win and they were without Longshore.25. Notre Dame - Finishing the season with back-to-back wins against BCS conference opposition the Irish ordain undoubtedly be in next season's preseason top 25.
