Degrees of Loss Separation: Miami > Oklahoma

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: Oklahoma Sooners vs. Miami Hurricanes

Doesn't it feel like the good ole days when the most relevant football game of the weekend pits Miami vs. Oklahoma. I feel as if I'm back in the mid 80s in January prepping for the Orange bowl. In this years showdown the Sooners look to hold on to their National Title hopes without Bradford on the field while Miami looks to rebound big time from their blow out loss at VaTech.

3º of Loss Separation : Miami > FSU > BYU > Oklahoma

The season started off with the shocking 14-13 victory by BYU over Oklahoma after they knocked off Bradford. This was followed up two nights later when the Hurricanes upset the Seminoles in Tallahassee. These games were linked up two weeks later when the Seminoles embarrassed the Cougars.

Final Outcome: Miami 35 Oklahoma 25

The Hurricanes get their third quality victory of the season and surge back into the top ten after a double digit victory over the Bradford-less Sooners. Speaking of Bradford he will sit on the sidelines and watch Landry Jones miss throws he would easily make and in the process ruin the Sooners season.

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.
