NCAA Week 11 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.

And now the Power Rankings are slowly resembling the BCS rankings.

1. Texas Tech - If your Mike Leach I understand loyalty to a program that gave you your first major coaching job, but just imagine how high powered his offense would be if he could recruit 5 star players instead of molding unknowns into gems. And doesn't Harrell look like a douche in that picture? Quality Wins: Kansas, Texas, Okie St.

2. Alabama -#2 is never a bad spot to be. The next two games are against Miss St. and Auburn both very winnable games. Then the tester against Florida. Quality Wins: @Georgia, @LSU

3. Texas - The Longhorns can not be pleased with the results on saturday. If Texas Tech wins out than they are screwed. If Oklahoma wins out then they are probably screwed. But I guess that's what happens when you can't make an easy INT or tackle with under 15 seconds to play. Quality Wins: Oklahoma(n), Mizzou, Oklahoma St.

4. Florida - They did not fall victim to the Degrees, and now thanks to the Hawkeyes they control their own destiny. Quality Wins: LSU, UGA(n) Bad Loss: Ole Miss

5. Oklahoma - Snoozer this past weekend, but this weekend is their chance to make the Big 12 title game. Quality Wins: TCU, Kansas, Nebraska

6. USC - Threw a massive celebration after the Penn St. loss, now all they really need is Mizzou to dominate the Big 12 title game.Quality Wins: Ohio State, Oregon, Cal Bad Loss: Oregon St.

7. Utah - TCU had the chance to secure the non-BCS conference BCS birth but could not hang on to their 4th quarter lead. The Utes now need to get past their mormon neighbors and they are in. Quality Wins: @Air Force, Oregon St., TCU

8. Penn St. - Yay, no Big 10 team in the BCS title game, unless the apocalypse happens again. Quality Wins: Oregon St., @Ohio St.

9. Boise St. - I shall include Boise St. even though their wins outside of Oregon are not very solid. Quality Wins: @Oregon

10. Georgia - Barely beat Kentucky this week end and perhaps are not for real. Quality Wins: South Carolina, Vandy, @LSU Bad Loss: Florida(n)

11. Oklahoma St. - A 40 year old man can not apparently cover the spread very well. Quality Wins: @Mizzou

Dropped Out: TCU

Noticeable Absences: Ohio St. will not be ranked in the power rankings at any point this year.

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...
