NCAA Week 1 Power Rankings

Remember this is all about Quality Wins and Bad Losses so if you lose to a top ranked team its not going to kill you, if you lose to Arkansas St. in the opener it will haunt you the entire season.


1. Alabama -How could I possibly have doubted that Clemson was going to give the full out choke this weekend. Man that was stupid. Quality Wins: @Clemson

2. East Carolina - Perhaps Tech made a little misjudgement when they decided to redshirt Tyrod and give the full duty to Glennon, cause he sucked on saturday and now their national title hopes end before the start of September. Quality Wins: VT

3. UCLA - Only Phil Fulmer's squad could lose a game where they intercept 4 passes in the first half. Perhaps the Ricky point is in full effect already. Quality Wins: Tennessee

4. Utah - Fuck Balls Cock Shit Fucker. Damn it. Quality Wins: @Michigan

5. Bowling Green - A lot of the teams on this top 11 are the result of big time week 1 upsets, but arguably none was more surprising than Bowling Green knocking off Team Wanny. Quality Wins: @Pitt

6. Mizzou - Chase Daniel really gave himself a solid start to the Heisman race by throwing up 50+ points against the Zookers. Quality Wins: (n)Illinois

7. USC - Well, there certainly was no stumbling block for USC in Charlottesville. Quality Wins: @UVA

8. Fresno St. - Perhaps without Ray Rice Rutgers is going to regress back to their old shitty ways but Fresno St. went into the dirty jersey and gave them a good butt whoppen. Quality Wins: @Rutgers

9. Arkansas St. - I know absolute nothing about Arkansas St., I didn't even know they were a D1 school, but they did go into College Station and knock off A&M which is either pretty impressive or incredibly pathetic for the Aggies. Quality Wins: @Texas A&M

10. Cal - The Bears pulled off a close victory against the Spartans who may end up being a surprising success in the Big 10. Quality Wins: Michigan St.

11. Nebraska -Directional Michigan went into the season as the favorite for the MAC title, so we'll give the black shirts a little credit for coming away with a solid victory. Quality Wins: Western Michigan

Dropped Out: Uh Nobody It's the First Poll

Noticeable Absences: The Majority of the AP top 11.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

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...
