NCAA Final Regular Season Power Ranking

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.

The regular season is over and without a playoffs we get the two most deserving teams in the BCS championship game. Does that mean they are truly the best? Maybe not.

1. Oklahoma - The best part about Oklahoma this season is the fact that they never want to stop scoring. It doesn't matter if your up by 30 with minutes to go, it's still time to run shotgun and put more points on the board. Quality Wins: Cincinnati, TCU, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas Tech, @Oklahoma St., Mizzou (n)

2. Florida - Despite not having Harvin the Gators proved that they are the best team in the SEC and probably the best team in the nation. Quality Wins: UGA(n), @FSU, Bama (n), South Carolina

3. Texas - Hey it sucks for you Texas but perhaps you should schedule a good out of conference game instead of cupcakes. Quality Wins: Oklahoma(n), Mizzou, Oklahoma St., Kansas

4. Texas Tech - Sure that loss was miserable but who else in the nation has a victory of a team the quality of Texas? Quality Wins: Kansas, Texas, Okie St. Bad Loss: Oklahoma

5. USC - An easy victory against cross town rival. I believe they are the 2nd best in the nation based on their Defense, but unfortunately for them the Pac 10 sucks this year. Quality Wins: Ohio State, Oregon, Cal

6. Alabama - Why the massive fall? They played well against the Gators and deserved to be on the same field as them, but at the end of the year who did they really beat? Georgia was eh all year long. Clemson also was eh. And Ole Miss kind of came out of nowhere to be the 4th best team in the SEC. Not really the greatest of schedules. Quality Wins: @Georgia, Ole Miss

7. Utah - Wee a Sugar Bowl beatdown is on the docket. Quality Wins: @Air Force, Oregon St., TCU, BYU

8. Penn St. - Woo a Rose Bowl beatdown is on the docket. Quality Wins: Oregon St., @Ohio St., Michigan St.

10. Cincinnati - Woo a boring Orange bowl is on the docket. Quality Wins: @WVU, Pitt, South Florida Bad Loss: UConn

10. Boise St. -Crushed Fresno St. to win their conference. Unfortunately for them Utah shall snatch up the non-BCS conference BCS birth. Sucks to be undefeated and miss out. Quality Wins: @Oregon

11. Ohio State - Another trip to the Fiesta bowl for the Buckeyes. Woo how exciting. Quality Wins: @Michigan State, @Northwestern

Dropped Out: no one

Noticeable Absences: no one

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
