Week 10 Blogpoll

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

Ya so I didn't really get time to go through this with a fine toothed comb, like I wanted. Thus there was minimal movement all around. Bama reaffirms their #1 spot with a win over LSU. Iowa drops thanks to a bad loss to Northwestern and they likely will continue to drop as they will probably get pummeled without Stanzi this weekend. Boise got jumped because Oregon lost, too be honest I'm not quite sure I'm comfortable with either TCU or Boise St. at 4 and 5. I will reassess this next week.

1. Alabama - Quality Wins: Virginia Tech(n), @Ole Miss, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, LSU
2. Florida - Quality Wins: Tennessee, @LSU, Arkansas, Georgia (n)
3. Texas - Quality Wins: TT, Oklahoma (n), @Oklahoma St.
4. Cincinnati - Quality Wins: @Rutgers, @Oregon State, @USF
5. TCU - Quality Wins: @Clemson, @BYU
6. Boise State - Quality Wins: Oregon
7. Iowa - Quality Wins: @Penn State, @Wisconsin, Arizona
8. Georgia Tech - Quality Wins: Clemson, UNC, VT
9. Oregon- Quality Wins: Utah, Cal, @UCLA, USC
10. LSU - .Quality Wins: Auburn, @Georgia
11. Southern Cal - Quality Wins: @Ohio St., @Cal, @Notre Dame, Oregon St. - Bad Losses: Washington, Oregon

If you're wondering where Utah is, I care not for a single one of their victories thus far this season so they are unranked. If they beat TCU this weekend they shall join the party. I dumped BYU for a similar reason. The Oklahoma loss isn't standing up anymore. Oklahoma St. hasn't beaten a team with a record better than 5-4. Let's see if they beat Texas Tech.

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...

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...
