CURIOUS INDEX, 10/22/07

Ohio State and Boston College are one and two, respectively, in the BCS standings. That’s fun. Have a seat at this table: MAO! Ohio State has their first surrrrious challenge this week versus Penn State, and BC plays Virginia Tech this week at a huge matchup in Blacksburg. Exit light: Chan Gailey’s allegedly gone for what seems like the third year in a row, according to Dennis Dodd. Zombie coaches abound, but no one’s had the rage longer without getting it from a flamethrower-wielding-soldier than Gailey. Believe it when the head rolls. Arizona State’s proof comes soon and in furious fashion: The undefeated Sun Devils face Cal, Oregon, USC, and Arizona in succession. Their most dramatic improvement: a 14th ranked defense backing up the established, oh-let’s-just-go-silly-and-score-points Pac-10 offense. And hey! They’ve got Jack Elway and his enormous teeth on the way. What can go wrong, besides the inevitable departure of the ADD-stricken Erickson in a year or two? Drew Weatherford slides back into the starting spot for FSU following Xavier Lee showing up lobotomized to the Miami game and committed four turnovers. For sale signs for coaching legends: they happen. Meet the partners in our consumer whoring! Our partner in the ESPN Guide to Psycho Fan Behavior, Warren St. John, will be signing the Guide tonight at Davis-Kidd Bookstore in Nashville at 6 p.m. We know Ma Swindle will be there, so stop by and meet the family. Oh: PURCHASE PURCHASE PURCHASE!!! Or be considered a running dog of subversive, splittist elements, comrade.

Hey Orson, there’s a new Barnes and Noble opening in Tuscaloosa just in time for you and Warren to come over and sign copies the weekend of the Bama/LSU game…
… I’m just sayin’

The SEC is so good that they don’t even have to have a winning record against the Big Ten in head to head play in the last 10 years to be better. Jesus cries tears when SEC teams play, because it is so beautiful. They are so good that they transcend all logic and reason.
Stop the bullshit: the SEC is better than the Big Ten this year. That’s it. OSU has a weak nonconference schedule this year, so what? It doesn’t mean they aren’t a respectable team. Are they better than LSU? I kind of doubt it. They may not be better than Florida, either. But get off your high horse, this is ridiculous. Every time they’ve played someone from a BCS conference, everyone has said “this is the team that will beat them”, but they didn’t. OSU has won all of it’s games in convincing fashion, what more can they do? They DO schedule quality opponents (as evinced by the fact that they play USC, Miami, and Texas for home/home series), but for whatever reason, this year they have a piss poor schedule. Deal with it.
Does anyone gripe about the fact that LSU plays essentially every difficult game at home this year? No. Schedules are made in years advance, it’s not like there’s some grand conspiracy to cruise to a MNC.

The Big Ten has never won the BigTen-ACC Challenge.
Wrong sport, but just throwing that out there to fuel the fire.
