NCAA Week 8 Power Rankings

Remember this is all about Quality Wins and Bad Losses so if you lose to a top ranked team its not going to kill you, if you lose to Arkansas St. in the opener it will haunt you the entire season.

So Texas is pretty damn good. Ole Miss is about 4 plays away from being the #1 team in the country. And Sam Bradford is a beast.

1. Texas - Chase's FUPA was no match for the Longhorns who look like a pretty safe bet to make it to the Big 12 title game right now. Okie St. is a nice club, but look at the difference between the final scores against Mizzou. And Texas Tech never beats UT. Quality Wins: Oklahoma(n), Mizzou

2. Alabama - Bama once again barely held onto a game which makes you think that eventually their time is going to come. They drop from the top spot due to Texas dominance and Clemson falling from the ranks of a quality win cause well they stink. Quality Wins: @Georgia

3. Oklahoma - Sam Bradford is playing like the best quarterback in the Nation by a longshot. It certainly wasn't his fault the Sooners lost to the Longhorns and after this weekends 470 yard performance he might just be atop the Heisman board. Quality Wins: TCU, Kansas

4. Oklahoma St. - Okie St. win over Mizzou lost a bit of luster after the Longhorns pummeled them, but still I'll give them the mild edge for this week over Penn St. Quality Wins: @Mizzou

5. Penn St. - The Lions fought off a first half scare by the Wolverines to utterly embarrass them in the 2nd half. But Goodbye Wisconsin from the quality wins. Damn what happened to the Badgers this year. Next week the Lions have their biggest challenge on the road to a national title game. Quality Wins: Illinois, Oregon St.

6. USC - USC mowed down Wazzu making the 40+ point spread look like nothing. Additionally the Buckeys destroying clubs in the Big 10 makes them look like a very likely 1 loss team in the Championship game. Quality Wins: Ohio State, Oregon Bad Loss: Oregon St.

7. Florida - A week off and two weeks to the Cocktail Party which will decide the SEC East. Quality Wins: LSU Bad Loss: Ole Miss

8. Boise St. - Boise St. still holds the nice win over Oregon who sits at 5-2 with their only onther loss against the Trojans. The Broncos don't have much competition in their conference this year and just may end up undefeated once again. Quality Wins: @Oregon

9. TCU - The Horned Frogs took those Mormons this weekend and stole all their wives. Plus, you can't kill them for losing to Oklahoma badly on the road, most teams would do that. Quality Wins: BYU

10. Georgia - UGA jumps back into the poll with their win over probably overrated Vandy. Again Cocktail Party in two weeks shall decide their 2008 fate but in the meantime they get to travel to the Bayou this weekend. Quality Wins: South Carolina, Vandy

11. Utah - The Utes now have to think about whether or not TCU is their toughest opponent this year and not BYU. Quality Wins: @Air Force, Oregon St.

Dropped Out: VaTech who's offense is terrible, Texas Tech cause I'm not a believer in their Big 12 North wins

Noticeable Absences: Texas Tech I just don't like them, The Buckeyes cause I'll wait til they beat PSU this weekend, LSU who will join up if they win this weekend

(n) = neutral field

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.
