Degrees of Loss Separation: Rutgers > Pittsburgh

The Degrees of Loss Separation is a simple concept, I go out and find a highly rated team with some losses playing against a crappy team with lots of losses. Next I find a chain of losses which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt (not at all) that the underdog is going to pull the major upset and storm the field. The Final Outcome is calculated simply: Add up the scores of the losers, add up the scores of the winners in the degrees of loss separation and divide both by the # of degrees.

The Game: Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Pittsburgh Panthers

Pittsburgh is currently charging away as the favorite in the Big East after defeating South Florida. They could potentially get Wanny a trip to the BCS. Meanwhile Rutgers is 2-5 and won its first conference game of the season last weekend due to UConn turning the ball over and missing a game tying field goal in the last minutes. Clearly these teams are heading in different directions. But its Wanny and he likes to lose games he shouldn't. And the Degrees don't lie.

5º of Loss Separation : Rutgers beat Uconn beat Temple beat Miami(OH) beat Bowling Green beat Pittsburgh

This all starts with Bowling Green's shocking upset over Pitt the first week of the season. Who saw that coming? Bowling Green than struggled in losing many games including this past weekend against the Redhawks of Miami of Ohio. Miami of Ohio had previously lost to Temple in easy fashion 28-10. The same Temple squad suffered their first loss in OT after they choked away a late lead to UConn. The same UConn who last week could not nail the tying field goal in Piscataway.

Final Outcome: Rutgers 21 Pittsburgh 13

Rutgers will scoop up 3 shocking tds and will slow LeSean McCoy and the rest of Pitt's offense down in securing the 21-13 victory.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
