Week 8 Blogpoll

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

1-7 No Movement

Yes it's lame, but honestly none of the top 7 teams did anything too impressive. USC knocked off Oregon St. which was a nice win, but Washington lost yet again so I'm not ready for them to leap frog Texas, maybe if OSU hadn't lost to Purdon't. Also, we're still keeping Boise St. a notch above Oregon and keeping them above TCU because right now they arguably have the best win in the country.

1. Alabama - Quality Wins: Virginia Tech(n), @Ole Miss, South Carolina
2. Florida - Quality Wins: Tennessee, @LSU, Arkansas
3. Iowa - Quality Wins: @Penn State, Michigan, @Wisconsin
4. Texas - Quality Wins: TT, Oklahoma (n)
5. USC - Quality Wins: @Ohio State, Cal, @Notre Dame, Oregon St. - Bad Losses: Washington
6. Boise State -Quality Wins: Oregon
7. Oregon-Quality Wins: Utah, Cal, @UCLA

8. TCU - The Horned Frogs are the biggest movers in the poll for two reasons, obviously the win over BYU and secondly the fact Clemson is starting to morph into an ACC contender. Quality Wins: @UVA, @Clemson, @BYU

9. LSU - I moved LSU up thanks to the Auburn win and the fact that we're still not penalizing them for a close loss to Florida.Quality Wins: Auburn, @Georgia

10. Cincinnati - The meat of their Big East schedule still await them. Quality Wins: @Rutgers, @Oregon State, @USF

11. Houston - Quality Wins: @Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, @Miss St. - Bad Losses: UTEP

And the rest is up for grabs. Miami and BYU are the big droppers for their losses. Texas Tech bails out as does Nebraska, Arkansas and Michigan due to losses. And Cal is out after another Tennessee loss.

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.
