Week 5 Blogpoll

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

1. Alabama - Bama just knocked Arkansas upside the head, and with the Hokies dominating the U, their neutral field win looks awfully nice. Quality Wins: Virginia Tech(n)

2. Boise State - The best thing that can happen to Boise State is for the Oregon Ducks to win out, and Oregon's 42-3 victory on saturday was a step in the right direction. Quality Wins: Oregon

3. Virginia Tech - YA little sleep walk action vs. Duke, but who cares they still won. Quality Wins: Nebraska, Miami

4. Miami - Landry Jones is no sad Bradford which makes for a sad day for Sam Bradford. The U took advantage and now has three wins of merit. Quality Wins: @FSU, GT, Oklahoma -- Bad Loss: @VT

5. Iowa - Knocking off Joe Pa twice in a row gets Ferentz another contract extension. Quality Wins: @Penn State

6. LSU - Sure they were helped some by the lame call but they did win in Georgia which is impressive. Quality Wins: @Georgia

7. Cincinnati - Cupcake week for the Bearcats. Quality Wins: @Rutgers, @Oregon State

8. Oregon - And Oregon is back? And LaGarrette is also back? Hmm... a team of intrigue. Or does Cal just suck? Quality Wins: Utah, Cal

9. USC - It looks as if the Trojans are back and ready to dominate the Pac 10. Quality Wins: @Ohio State, Cal - Bad Losses: Washington

10. Auburn - Who knew Gene Chizik was going to get Auburn to score a lot of points? Quality Wins: West Virginia, @Tennessee

12. Florida - I'm waffling over Florida. Do I give them credit for two SEC wins over bottom SEC teams? Or do I wait for their game against LSU with or without Tebow? Quality Wins: Tennessee, Kentucky

13. Houston - How are you going to lose to UTEP after pulling off those huge victories? Disgusting. Quality Wins: @Oklahoma State, Texas Tech - Bad Losses: UTEP

16. Texas - Is UTEP more of a quality win than Texas Tech given that TT lost to Houston and UTEP beat Houston? I don't know but I'm sick of Texas OOC games already. Quality Wins: Texas Tech

20. Michigan - Losing on the road to your rival in overtime is bad but its not the worst thing in the world. This week perhaps they defeat Iowa to redeem themselves. Quality Wins: Notre Dame

And that's all I'm gonna do for right now cause I'm a bit behind schedule, if you have complaints, comment and I shall address the remainder of the logic.

Also, Mizzou speak to me after this week, it's obvious that Illinois is bad. Same goes with you Ohio State.

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...
