Week 3 Blogpoll

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

At the end of the day its still just week 3, this poll has many iterations to go before it has solidified its overall assumptions on who is good and who is not. What we do know is we hate cupcakes, absolute despise teams that schedule the cupcakes.

And Congrats goes to Pete Carroll for once again whiping away his national title hopes in week 3. Now onto the poll.

1. Alabama - The Hokies solidified themselves with a big comeback win at home against Nebraska and thus Alabama reaps the benefits. Quality Wins: Virginia Tech(n)

2. Miami - Welcome to a world where the U once again looks like world beaters. After the FSU destruction of BYU and Miami's destruction of Georgia Tech the Canes just might not be a one week wonder. If they win this week against the Hokies, in Blacksburg, they will be #1. Quality Wins: @Florida State, GT

3. LSU - That win at Washington is looking awfully pretty right now. Quality Wins: @Washington

4. Houston - A week off, is a week to celebrate. Quality Wins: @Oklahoma State

5. Boise State - The Ducks continue to knock off teams to make Boise look a little bit better on a week to week basis. Quality Wins: Oregon

6. Cincinnati - Traveling to the land of the Beaver and coming home with a victory is no joke. Quality Wins: @Rutgers, @Oregon State

7. Florida - Yay the Gators dispatched the Kiffikins and got off the cupcake diet. Quality Wins: Tennessee

8. UCLA - By proxy the Bruins must sit close to the Gators as their quality wins have mirrored each other. Florida's win was a bit easier, but UCLA won on the road and did knock off another BCS team in KState this week. Quality Wins: @Tennessee

9. Virginia Tech - See Bama... Quality Wins: Nebraska

10. Michigan - Directional Michigan Week #2. Quality Wins: Notre Dame

11. Cal - Apparently Maryland isn't good (lost to Middle Tennessee State) btu a win at Minnesota in their new stadium is a nice replacement. Quality Wins: @Minnesota

12. Texas - The revenge lacked the destruction most longhorn fans likely desired but they get Quality Wins: Texas Tech

13 - 16 Box 1 Loss

We clustered FSU, BYU, Washington and USC together because of their one big win against a good opponent and one loss to a good opponent. For this week it just seemed fair.

17. Missouri - Really no reason for Mizzou to fall other than me waiting to find out about Illinois this weekend against OSU. Until then, I'm skeptical on Mizzou. Quality Wins: Illinois(n)

If you're big into 18-23 than do your own math...

As for Ole Miss and Penn State, they get token spots at the bottom of the poll. But their cupcake eating is getting really old really fast.

And the whole picture...

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.
