Week 1 Blogpoll

Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards.

1. Alabama - The Crimson Tide look like a team that's only going to get better this season as their QB starts to get more and more experience. They showed this weekend that they can already rush the ball extremely effectively against one of the best defenses in the Nation. Quality Wins: Virginia Tech(n)

2. BYU - One could say they got lucky in knocking out the current Heisman holder. Others can say, they were the ones that crashed him to the ground seperated his shoulder, and effectively ruined his season. I'm going with the latter. Quality Wins: Oklahoma(n)

3. Oklahoma State - It might be a bit early to fully know exactly what Georgia is going to be this season, but its a nice feather to stick in your cowboy hat after week 1.Quality Wins: Georgia

4. Boise State - The schedule is about to get very very easy, so the Broncos better hope that Oregon holds up their end of the bargain and stays a good team, else Boise State is going to fall off the map as other teams pick up Quality Wins while they're playing San Diego State.Quality Wins: Oregon

5. Miami - Are the Cains back? They certainly looked athletic last night and like they may just have a quarterback who has some value. Quality Wins: @Florida State

6. Missouri - The Juice was squeezed. Quality Wins: Illinois(n)

7. Cal - Perhaps I jumped on the bandwagon of the wrong Pac 10 team not named USC. Move over Oregon, I'm jumping on Cal now. Quality Wins: Maryland

8. Baylor - Robert Griffin and the Baylor Bears just might shock a few teams in the Big 12 this year and they got off to a big start beating Wake Forest in Week 1. Quality Wins: @Wake Forest

9. Cincinnati Apparently the Bearcats weren't a joke last year after they went into Jersey and pounded the Scarlet Knights into a bloody pulp. Quality Wins: @Rutgers

10. South Carolina - This is a marginal quality win, but it still is a road win at an ACC Team that made a bowl game last year, so it'll hgold for a week. Quality Wins: @NC State

We're only going as far as 10 Quality Wins this weekend. There were way too many Woffords and Directional Michigans on the Schedule to hand out more than 10 Quality wins. From there I ranked the rest of the completely unknowns and would have given William & Mary a Token Vote if I could have figured out how.

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.
