BLOGPOLL, WEEK TWO: 10 PERCENT LESS CRAP!

Colorado? Uhhhh…right.

Orson,

Granted you may not have seen any of this yet, but the Rutgers defense is as good as last year (which was top-10 nationally), the offensive line and Ray Rice are at least as good as last year, and the passing game is even better. I understand we don’t play anyone, but to not even slot RU in the 20-25 range is a little off, no? Particularly given how we stacked up against two of your top 11 teams last year.

the tobacco road con man may want to re-evaluate running that spread read option (or whatever the fuck it is) when your starting qb is not even a remote threat to run. it’s like nebraska running the west coast with option players. and that longhorn secondary is teeerrrrible.

I suspect Florida, Virginia Tech and probably LSU are too high, but it’s all a crapshoot at this point.

oh yeah…..

and what #1 said.

Pete! It’s Division One Football!!!

Orson,
Just wanted to let you know the guys who invented the sport are still playing it. And at said DIVISION ONE FOOTBALLLLLL Level.
OK,
Kevin

where is humanity advanced????

Texas looked awful. NO running game, desptie having a badass running back. No pass defense. Shoddy linebacker play (HOW!?! with these recruits?!!)

Texas hasn’t gotten back to defensive form since Chizickian left, and needs to go back to a traditional non-“let’s-force-the-option-read-without-VY” -running game out of the I-form or something. Oklahoma will rape our horses and ride off on our women.

LSU v. Vtech is a great steak-and-potatoes game this weekend. We’ll learn alot about the Tigres.

My prediction is that auburn will fall on its face, soon. Sundaymorningqb asserts as much, as eventually life on the margins will catch up with their NEVER ENDING LUCKFEST.

I thought you would have used your #25 vote to replace Duke with App State.

What?!?! How could you drop Michigan out of the Top-25?!?! Did they get beat by a I-AA school or something?

ORLY?

I know Oklahoma destroyed North Texas Sisters of The Poor, but three? Really? But, maybe I have some residual hate left over from junior year of high school when a hot chick from Okla turned me down.

No, I still think they’re overrated.

Whoa, whoaaa. #12 for Georgia Tech, we beat a team no better than UNC here people. Let’s not get crazy. I like our national #21 ranking. Gives us a chance to climb up a slot or two every week and end up top 5 perhaps while not having people putting a bullseye on us.

After week one, I thought I would be glad seeing Michigan discussed in the polls so much. Ummm .. .. yeah, about that …

#9

the “infamous” (more than famous) el guapo thinks oklahoma will prune de hedges as well.

Another southern team exposes another Big 10 team. Where have I seen this before? Deja vu all over again.

War Eagle!

PA_Tiger

I don’t care how bad the rest of the damn team is, at least rank Humanity Advanced and Robin above Colorado… not even the Penis brothers should make them rank below a middling Big-13 school

Orson,

While I’m not advocating a Top 15 ranking or anything, I’m slightly confused as to the total dropping of my Fightin’ McFaddens from the rankings.C’mon – you know you want him in there between #17 and #25.

1) Rocky Mountain Showdown is a very underrated rivalry game, and unlike other rivalries, its always a good game (been decided by four point or less in the last four seasons, 3 times on the last play from scrimmage)
2) That being said, CU probably doesn’t deserve to slip into the rankings because of that victory
3) They need to stop playing that game at 10 in the morning. Being drunk 3 seperate times in 24 hours isnt as fun as it sounds
4) Good job not ranking Rutgers. Very overrated, not very good.
5) CU IS better than the teams ranked 22-24.

va tech and missouri are too hight. colorado also. rutgers and arkansas should be on there. also, kyle jackson just missed a tackle.

Also Hawaii shouldn’t be ranked either. They beat the “other” team from Colorado, you know the one where the players stab eachother. Ya, that one.

+1 to #8 & #17.

McFadden alone should be about #22-25. So you’re saying the rest of the team subtracts from him?

Missouri? Missouri? The team that is constantly picked to “finally get over the hump this year” but always loses 3-4 games? That Barely beat a [Name Redacted} coached team, which is like starting out the game with a 16 point lead.

“UT acquitted themselves well”????

c’mon, O, were you watching the same game we were? UT couldn’t tackle, got pushed off the line, couldn’t score from the 1…..

Care to revise?

#16

Did Bucky the Badger “expose” Tuberville and the war chicken when the Badgers pulled Auburn’s pants down a couple of years ago and ran the ball right down their fucking throat?

I do like to see four Pac-10 teams in there, and UCLA still be left out. That shit just warms my heart.

no TCU?…BCS fags

Click Clack Dept:

Where is USC-east?

Yah, I’m not sure that getting within a TD in the 4th quarter, then losing by 2 TD’s (should have been 3) constitutes “acquitted themselves well”, whatever that means. But kudos for giving Cal the proper position in the poll, ahead of a poor performing VaTech, which apparently the national pollsters were incapable of figuring out.

So does that mean that FSU “acquitted themselves well” because they got it to within 6 in the 4th quarter?

Incidentally, the funniest thing on message boards right now are the moral victories by FSU fans. They somehow take solace in the second half against Clemson, when during their run in the 90’s, such rationalization would be unheard of.

And I must have missed where UCLA was in that poll……mmmm? Or does losing by 2 TD’s to Cal get more respect than blowing out the fighting Harbaughs?

The Gamecocks, sans starting QB, win their opener… and drop from #6 to Not Ranked?

That really inspires some confidence in your rankings.

i didn’t even notice the disappearance of Rutgers and USC-E at first either…

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!!

Orson,

While Colorado does indeed play DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL, they do not play GOOD Division One football.

Where is UCONN?!?! Duke was 25th last week and we smoked ‘em by 31. I’m going to keep writing this so everyone knows…UConn is beating Pitt on 9/22….and will be undefeated when it plays Louisville in October. Just make a mental note. Because UConn’s schedule sucks.

Seriously…judging from week 1, I think West Virginia is in the national title game. I know they can’t play defense and I don’t think it matters. They remind me of the 1998 UCLA team that liked to win games 45-42 and refused to play a lick of defense. Except West Virginia’s offense is better than that. Might be the best offense ever. You cannot stop them. Don’t even try. Just put them in New Orleans right now and let’s see LSU, Florida or USC try.

RE: USC-E.

We forgot them. After putting them 6th.

-O.

As for taking our or any rankings seriously, well, that’s your choice.

Click Clack Part Two:

I think Spurrier also wanted to forget about USC-east, given the Gamecocks’ lackluster 28-14 win over Louisiana-Lafayette.

WHERE IS YOUR SPURRIER NOW?

http://elitemrp.net/cgi-bin/wiyg/wiyg.pl?l1=WHERE%20IS%20YOUR%20SPURRIER%20NOW%3F&back=king1&ft=.jpg

No love for Clemson, even after a lovely unofficial visit, Orson?

Once again, lest those kids forget:

University of South Carolina – founded, 1801
State of California – founded, 1851

Timeline, bitches. Our Cocks don’t need USC-W Trojans.

Somehow, FSU has been able to hold off being called FSUe from the FSU Bulldogs (Fresno State University). Methinks it has something to do with national championships, or something.

#33

I think WV already proved what it can do to an SEC defense – run right the fuck through it as it did against Georgia…They were up 28-0 before Georgia realized what was going on…credit Georgia though, they made a come back.

#9

Screw you, Bama & Saban.
The LUCKFEST is in its 6th year and counting you douchebag.

@41

“Somehow, FSU has been able to hold off being called FSUe from the FSU Bulldogs (Fresno State University). Methinks it has something to do with national championships, or something.”

Either that or “being remotely respectable for more than two years at a time.”

Rutgers… out?? What?

McFadden and Felix Jones… OUT?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Obviously, their QB sucks and their team isn’t that great, but Dave Chappelle and Humanity Advanced alone can beat teams like Colorado and Missouri, just by returning the opening kickoff back, Chase Daniel and the Hawkins Whisperer’s heads will collectively explode, rendering each team utterly useless.

Speaking as an A&M fan, we are routinely overrated in polls and this one appears to be no exception. We will undoubtedly lose to Tech…again. Agree with some commenters that Texas looked pretty bad, especially at linebacker. Is it Tech’s year? Yarrr?

Please, N-Hack…Cali was “founded” waaaayy before Souf ’Cack….remember the Spaniards?

Besides, the real SC has done much much more for football than the cocks

1. I think this has been covered before but just in case:

University of Southern California, founded 1880

South Carolina College, founded 1801 (very nice), rebranded as the University of South Carolina 1906.

Timeline indeed.

Hey Hack,

When people think USC, they think University of Southern Califonia. It’s the real USC.

FWIW, SCC founded 1801. USC founded 1880. SCC renamed University of South Carolina in 1906.

You lose the timeline by 35 years or so…

Besides, that’s akin to saying when college football fans see/say FSU, they are actually thinking Fresno State?

You have no argument.

The “real” UT or “real” OSU arguments have better merit.

The Palmetto Poultry loses this battle and the one between the hedges Saturday. Click Clack.

Tubbs and I must now go rid the steet of Miami from about 40 keys of Bolivian nasal dust. Gonna go see our old pal Newton Blades….

As a big Colorado homer, I got to say….WTF?

But, hooray, we are ranked at least once, in one blog. Thats better then last year already.

Orson – the coaches and AP can’t vote for the ‘Neers, but you have to believe they’re a top-25 team.

Who wins in an App State v. Colorado/Washington/Missouri matchup?

I heard Clemson dropped 5 spots for each unsuccessful rushing of the field.

Where’s UCLA? Surely, beating a stanky Cardinal is just as worthy as some of the other wins on here…even with the defense playing a subpar game, they still only gave up 17 points and put 45 on ’em!

Hack: Timeline smimeline.

Southern California: One of the most elite football programs in the history of the sport and the most dominant team this decade. (5 BCS bowls in a row).

South Carolina: Not so much. (O BCS bowls ever)

#25,

     Yes. Yes he did.

Oh and PA_Tiger #16,

     A team from North Carolina is not from the South. As much as it wants to not be, NC is a yankee state.

Texas sucks so much ass.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3005873&campaign=rss&source=NCFHeadlines

They needed a bullshit call to beat Arkansas State

1. - NC is a Yankee state?

Where is the one Carolina football fan to remind you how the state of North Carolina, then Carolina, became the Tar Heels?

FYI, it involves General Robert E. Lee, a mocking of Va soldiers, and a raping of the Union army.

We were doing quite well until the organ grinder took over for Lincoln.

#58,

     And Alabama and Notre Dame used to dominate college football too.
