BLOGPOLL, WEEK SIX: SOMEONE'S GOTTA GO.

UGA against UT, that’s like rooting for diarrhea or puking.

Apparently you don’t understand how rankings work! Don’t you know that Va Tech is supposed to be ranked higher than Ga Tach despite getting beaten badly them at home? We may have to have one of the voting coaches explain this to you.

Note: Please do not take this as a pro-Ga Tech comment, but rather a statement that the coaches poll is as valid as a Belarusian presidential election.

Louisiana State wants pants, too!

Soloman Grundy… born on a monday.

Mr Swindle… methinks you should get the antigrav attachment for your poll-pen when next week comes around and it is time to assign a slot for the ’Gators. They are going down deeper and faster than a Russian sub with a vodka cargo after the LSU game.

Here I was, hoping I could fill the “comic book references in a Gator Sports Blog” niche on my blog and you had to go an bring up everyone’s favorite zombie.

Orson’s setting up a nice 6/7 winner-take-all matchup between L’ville and WVa for the Big East. Too bad it’s a Thursday night game (Nov 2nd), so it won’t get the Game Day treatment.

As you point out Texas is actually unrankable until they play someone other than tOSU, but kudos for at least placing ND ahead of Cal and Tennesse for now.

No other one loss team played BCS opponents with a 18-2 collective record against everyone else ( PSU loss to tOSU and the [REDACTED BOWL] loss).

It started with Purdue game, but here’s a prediction. Weis will try to win every game in the cream puff part of the schedule by running and screening until he’s up by two TD’s.

IF they can then do unto USC what Michigan has done unto them, it would help a bit if GT would actually win the ACC. Is it actually possible for GT to play call to like CJ is on the field.

Orson Swindle, I hate you… mostly because you introduced youtube.com to me. Now my life is spent wasted away in 3 min segments going blind watching crap like this -

but what I was looking for was this -

get your bourbon IV poled up and ready to plug in my friend… and bring it with you to Auburn

…for a whole season?

OH MY GAWWWD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? It took me a week to the Coach O song out of my head and now “Ms Peachez in the tub” has attached itself to my brain like a needy girlfriend. Somebody post something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re just keeping Auburn at #2 so the Gators can knock them off, aren’t you? You think like a real poll-voter!

Ahhh, now we can all watch as the class of the SEC goes through The Unblinking Eye, followed by the Wreck of the Hesperus, and then, once they’ve Crossed the Desert they get treated to the Paddling of the Swollen Ass, With Paddles…which they call conference play…

Props to whomever, if anyone, emerges unscathed….

Those of us around the nation applaud your BCS championship elimination tournament…

Oh, fuck you for putting that video up. Now we’re going to spend the rest of the day singing “I’m a wash my booty for a while.”

I have to agree with you on Georgia.

It can’t help the freshmen quarterbacks that MoMass has never been hit in the hands with a ball he couldn’t drop.

Lumpkin keeps racking up 100 yard games despite only being allowed to play the second half as the WareBrown its 3 ypc.

Oh well, we’ll get some validation after whipping the Vols this week.

Now I have Crash Test Dummies stuck in my head.

“but Calvin instead sat her down and talked with her, teaching her a valuable lesson about honesty, fidelity, and how lucky she is to have a good guy like you in her life. He’s that good.”

hilarious.

You move BC up 5 spots for beating up on Maine? this is the same school that just lost to NC state the week before. What the hell drugs are you on, because that’s one hell of a bad trip.

They shouldn’t even be in anyone’s poll unless they manage to be VaTech this week.

also, TCU is still on there after getting thoroughly exposed by BYU? You’re making Craig James’ balot look sane…

OhioDawg: you referenced Kregg Lumpkin will keep racking up 100 yd. games despite limited carries etc. I saw a stat roll across the screen in the Ole Miss game that amazed me. That game was the first time he had ever broken 100 yards. This guy was a 5 star, Parade All-American, #2 RB in the country in 2003 and breaks 100 yards for the first time in Oct. 2006?

UGA where blue-chip tailbacks go to waste away their college careers. Are you listening Caleb King??

gentelmen, prepare to have youtube dominate the rest of your work week.

Navy almost ran their way back in for a sympathy vote. Absolute demolition of UConn, another mighty opponent.

Ok, those two songs are the SAME THING!

Maybe you could get Calvin Johnson to talk to Ms Peachez and have her stop. Just stop. She’s demonstrated that any idiot can get some kind of dirty crunk track completed in 3.5 minutes. Surely she’s at risk of a goblet blow to the head. It’s for her own good.

As an Irish fan it’s going to kill me to see Calvin Johnson, I mean Georgia Tech, go 7-5 due to Chan Gailey. They should easily win the ACC, not that that’s much to brag about. Actually, 7-5 could win the ACC this year, couldn’t it?

JohnWA,

After the VT game SMQ described Calvin as:

 “an overwhelming force of nature even the methodical, almost monastic persistence of Reggie Ball and Chan Gailey has become powerless to contain”

but will they rechain him?

“Patrick Nix is unwittingly subverting Gailey’s much-honed, time-tested equilibrium, his life’s work dedicated to stoic mediocrity, and wrath and unrest are certain to ensue; Maryland and Clemson, surely, will be battlegrounds for control of the Tech sideline”

I am confused. What ranked team from a BCS conference did Notre Dame beat? Michigan State? Does that win still count since they played more like Atheans and less like Spartans against the Illini?

When Texas smacks Oklahoma silly on Saturday, then I want the Notre Dame fans to shut up.

“What ranked team did Notre Dame beat?”

Georgia Tech, 14-10, in Atlanta.

Short memory, you have….

ND’s wins v. Texas’s wins:

Georgia Tech > Iowa State

Penn State > North Texas

Purdue > Rice

Michigan State > Sam Houston State

Is any of these statements even remotely controversial?

Your observation that Texas has not yet beaten a quality opponent is fair, but how does that distinguish them from Louisville or W.Va.? Phrased differently, what have those teams done to justify the lofty rankings?

(In the case of Louisville, certainly their injuries should mean something. Assuming those injuries make the team worse, does that mean Lousiville would be a top 3 team if healthy?)

Also, how can you justify ranking Oregon so much higher than Oklahoma, a team they barely beat (due in part to crap officiating) at home?

It looks like both the ND/Texas and OK/Oregon ranking situations should be sorted out by the Red River Shootout.

My guess is Mack Brown’s team will revert to form without Vince Young and the Okies take it this year.

And the Domers better enjoy all the moment of SOS comparisons, since given the teams they play over the next several weeks all head to head comparisons will slide as the other contenders go through conference play.

And USC this week faces the last coach to beat them at home. It could be the upset special of the week.

You drop Nebraska just because we give up 594 yards and 94 plays to a middle of the road Big 12 North team after losing a 17 point lead and then play to get into overtime?

Just because we haven’t beaten a ranked team yet and we won’t get many chances because our half the conference is so good that we’ll beat each other up all the time and not get ranked (I’ve been waiting for years to use that Big 10 excuse).

You bastards!
