BLOGPOLL, WEEK TEN: PURGIN' TIME!

Where’s the real poll. Some of these places are even made up: Conn-ect-i-cut? What’s a Connecticut? Who’s this guy Brigham Young who made the poll by himself? Is he in the Heisman race? What is this madness?

1) Many fine wines for keeping BC in their place. Based on what I read about it the perfomance against VTech was cause for dropping them some (really can’t go lower than 8, unfortunately – some might go a couple places higher but 8 seems just about right).

2) tOSU at #1 is certainly defensible but there is some dispute about the quality of the PSU win. Certainly they have not run the gauntlet that LSU has. True, the high quality of that gauntlet has taken a bit of a hit this week – which I suppose is the reason for the demotion – but then again the MSU win looks better. As you say though the SEC is utterly incomprehensible this year so whatever.

If Richt Spurriers Troy, can we get a #10?

(Sniff sniff) What’s that smell?

Oh, it’s your blogpoll.

Hey, if Georgia beats Florida, Alabama and Oklahoma State, can it be #10 or does UGA have to lose to UVA to get there?

UConn. #10. I may cry.

I’m not sure I understand the lack of love that West Virginia has been getting. The Big East has been respectable and they just hillbilly smacked that Miss St. that beat Kentucky the next week.

Also, Oregon beat a far superior opponent than Ohio St. did. Maybe not as impressively, but if you are putting them ahead of Ohio St. before this week, I don’t see a reason to drop them.

Coop, we need clarification. Is bourbon the pregame beverage of choice in Pickens County?

I don’t remember that to be the case.

Cal at 14? Sure, if you’ve been in a coma for a month.

I dunno about your Moh’s scale classification of the Florida D. Is that pre or post injury rash? Sans injuries, they may be somewhere between calcite and fluorite, but nothing harder. With out Major Wright, I think a fair comparison would be slightly above talc and below gypsum. Throw in all of the d-line injuries, and you might find them below talc, and slightly ahead of my loose stool. Just sayin.

Chg – Can you smell stale PBR from the Esso Club in Memorial Stadium? Ain’t nothing wrong with being accused of drinking bourbon.

Something Stinks Dept:

Florida and USCw out of the top 25? These two can easily beat a third of the teams on that list right now.

I believe bourbon is the universal adult beverage of choice at Memorial Stadium/Death Valley, and everywhere else in the South.

Seems to go well, with Coke, no?

As for the Esso Club slight, OOC, I don’t come down to Cola and NARC out the coke dealers at Pavlov’s, do I?

Hmmm…perhaps I can create some sort of altercation involving Blake Mitchell, such as a dance off that gets out of hand causing Corey Boyd to bring out the automatic weapons, resulting in both being suspended prior to over visit to W-B.

Or, we just eke out another win down there.

There is a theory going around that South Carolina does not win again this season.

I almost like your chances versus Florida better than I do versus Arkansas.

Chg, at least among my crowd it is some variety of light beer mixed with hoots of bourbon (sips straight from the bottle). The strongest smell of bourbon probably comes out of the student section though, as we always snuck liquor into the stadium using various creative means while in school.

OOC, I’ll have you know the Esso Club does not serve stale PBR. It is fresh and delicious.

Coop, your dubious “theory” is all I can really think about this week. And the Esso Club = decent. Not great, but decent. OOC, you should know this…if you’re going to make fun of a watering hole in the greater Seneca metropolitan area, it’s gotta be “Tiger Tails.”

Oh and Orson, forget about the Gamecocks again?

One more thing…“Mean Girls-Director’s Cut” has already been done in Japan.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/

I always thought Heathers was the director’s cut of Mean Girls. Only with fewer hot girls (which is no slight against you, Winona).

Surely, you meant SC at 14 and not Cal.

I know this is going to start an argument, but…

Can you explain how Tennessee, after almost blowing a 21 point lead, jumps up 10 spots to number 16, 8 spots AHEAD of the Alabama team that thumped them last week (said Alabama team FALLING one spot after beating the holy hell out of BYE).

Ah robert, that explains why it is listed by multiple publications as one of the top sports bars in the country…because it’s decent. There actually is no “Tiger Tails” anymore. It got bought out and is now called “Sports Entertainment Club” or something like that. I will agree that it is extremely sketchy though…only strip club I know of where you can bring your own beer and watch pregnant/over 40 strippers as well as ones with knee braces.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t forget about the Shamecocks though. Have you watched the past few games they’ve played in? They should have been dropped completely after not scoring a touchdown on Vandy of all people.

7 –
UConn > USF > WFVU
For now at least. West Virginia can start getting the love by pounding Louisville and Cincinnati and trying (ha!) to do the same to UConn.

If you want WFVU to get some love, keep rooting for UConn to make that Nov. 24 a really big deal.

Great Googley Moogely, y’all sure have come to Jesus regarding ASU!!!! Hell, even the teams they beat (California) get to move up 9!!!! Weee haw, how can I get Michigan a game against them? Top 10 here we come. Or is it, you’ve got to lose to Oregon St., UCLA, and then ASU to get the bump? Is the order important? Do the losses have to be consecutive?

Is this thing on?

clemson327, I am a Gamecock fan. I am contractually obligated to hate all things from the greater Seneca metro area, so “decent” in regards to the Esso Club is as good as you’re going to get. And re: blogpoll, it was just a question—Orson didn’t rank them or mentioned them in the “Dropped Out” portion.

Can someone please explain Michigan’s ridiculous rise? They were beaten by a D-1AA team and Oregon by 31 points at HOME.

Who the hell have they beaten? And do NOT say Penn State, who doesn’t count by virtue of being a member of the worst BCS conference in history, a/k/a, the Big and Slow 10.

Touche robert, just as I am contractually obligated to hate all things from the greater Columbia metro area. I guess I can accept decent from a Gamecock fan. As for the dropped out thing, I thought maybe he had dropped them out last week.

The most widespread bit of crazy this week I think is ranking 3-loss Auburn ahead of the 2-loss USF team that beat them. I understand the whole “better to lose early than lose late thing,” but really? Considering who these teams lost to and who they beat, if you completely wipe their head to head matchup from your memory, they have nearly identical ranking qualifications. Throw in their head-to-head matchup, overtime though it may have been, and I just don’t see how Auburn gets the nod over USF.

/soapbox

Alabama behind Tennessee???
41-17 ring a bell?

Troy, I don’t think there is much rhyme or reason to his poll. Simply witness that he has Wake at 12 and Clemson at 13…how the heck did we get that high? The Auburn/USF debate isn’t quite as lopsided as the VT/Clemson debate. They beat us by 18 and are 7 spots behind us.

Matt Ryan has beaten Clemson twice already, throwing for 42 and 38 times. What would make this time any different?

Matt Ryan didn’t beat Clemson last year, our lack of kickoff coverage did. Oh that and a helpful call by the review official overturning an interception.

You definately have to cut Orson some slack for his poll. I have it on good authority that he is morally opposed to voting on such matters, but had his mind changed after this recent interaction with puff diddy, or is it p-diddy, or diddy?

Orson: Puff Daddy?
Puff Daddy: Your friend Stranko told me you don’t understand the importance of voting. Apparently you haven’t heard of my vote or die campaign.
Orson: Vote or Die? What the hell does that even mean?
Puff Daddy: What do you think it means, bitch?

Vote or die muthafucka, muthafucka vote or die
Rock the vote or else I’m gonna stick a knife through your eye
College football and BCS rankings is founded on one simple rule
Get out there and vote or I will muthafuckin’ kill you

Yeah

I like it when you vote bitch (bitch)
Shake them titties when you vote bitch (bitch)
I slam my jimmy through your mouth roof (mouth roof)
Now get yo’ big ass in the polling booth

I said vote, bitch, Or I fuckin’ kill you

Vote or die muthafucka, muthafucka vote or die
You can’t run from a .38 go ahead and try
Let your opinion be heard, you gotta make a choice
’Cause after I slit your throat, you won’t have a fuckin’ voice

Vote or die
VOTE OR DIE!

Yeah, for some reason I am not worried about BC. I am more concerned about Wake, which I don’t want to get into.

Conversely, I am definitely not worried about South Carolina because our “legitimate” weakness is our special teams play.

And, South Carolina has nobody on their staff that excels at special teams, like a Frank Beamer, for example.

What’s that?

Shane Beamer is on the Gamecock staff now?

In a word, FUCK…

Do not take the poll too literally, I have it on good authority that Orson does not believe in the importance of voting, but curiously changed his mind after an encounter with puff diddy or p-diddy, or is it just diddy now?

Orson: Puff Daddy?
Puff Daddy: Your friend Stranko told me you don’t understand the importance of voting. Apparently you haven’t heard of my vote or die campaign.
Orson: Vote or Die? What the hell does that even mean?
Puff Daddy: What do you think it means, bitch?

Vote or die muthafucka, muthafucka vote or die
Rock the vote or else I’m gonna stick a knife through your eye

VOTE OR DIE!

I will just say that LSU’s 7-1 record against a vastly superior schedule is justification enough to leave them at no. 1 but maybe I’m just a homer. D’oh

29 – You lost to a Kentucky team that lost to Miss. State. It makes that good loss look less good. Something has to be said for being unbeaten no matter who you’ve played.

I wouldn’t worry, if LSU is 12-1 they will play in the title game unless OSU and Arizona State remain unbeaten. Those two teams would have quality wins to match LSU, especially ASU who has a Colorado win that keeps getting sweeter.

1. beats #15 (per your poll) on the road in a monsoon and both teams move down?? Doesn’t add up.

Bringing the Mohs scale to college football is nothing short of awesome. Here’s hoping your Gators can get back in the game by playing someone whose defense is no stronger than gypsum.

Auburn vaults to 15 by beating Ole Miss?

Who did Wake Forest beat? Delta State?

Look at this horseshit! Can anyone else see we are heading straight the fuck for 1984 all over again. This is the biggest cluster since BYU-gate.

1 Ohio State 5
4 Arizona State —
6 Kansas 3
7 Missouri 2
8 Boston College 1
10 Connecticut 10

So… Auburn is finally ahead of the team that has not beat her since 2002. Must have hurt to cast that vote.

And Bama… the ass whippin’ is coming. Can’t wait to see 300 bammar grads and 9,700 sidewalk Ph.D.s show up on the Loveliest Village on the Plains.

War Eagle.

Alabama hung 41 on Tennesse and that’s only good for 3rd place this year in the “number of points hung on Tennessee contest.”

1. 35

The “ass whippin’” is coming…hope Brandon Cox can take it like the pussy he is, and “300 bammar grads” beats 20,000 sociology majors every time. Go throw toilet paper in a tree you goober.

Roll Tide

35

Maybe then you can actually sell out Jordan-Hare — you think?

Hell of a poultry science program y’all have down there.

Hush up. Bama lost to Florida State.

#7
Edsel…..let’s not start that “team who beat the team who beat the team” crap. Besides, UConn almost beat in a pillow fight with Temple. Under your logic, UVA>USF…are you ready to make that distinction? Al Groh vs. Jim Leavit? Jim would eat Al for breakfast.

Let’s just watch and see what happens…..

I sure wish I had one of those Tide detergent boxes with a roll of toilet paper hung on it. They look great on TV. I guess they come in handy at the laundromat when you have to crap. Now that’s a real goober.

USF is finding out that everything doesn’t always go your way. Penalties, turnovers and polls being some of them. They have a good team and program, but college football isn’t always fair . As a friend of mine once said " The sun don’t shine on the same hogs ass every day".

After watching OSU play Penn St., I can’t say they are #1. Penn St. looked really slow. The only hope they have is not having to play LSU.

Yeh, something has to be said for being undefeated no matter who you’ve played. A word that comes to mind is “Bullshit”.

#45

You’re just jealous because we get to crap indoors.
How’s that outhouse thing workin’ for ya’ down in Lee County?
By the way, when you finish, your toilet paper is in a tree at Toomer’s corner.

5-0 , we’ll just use the bathrooms at Tuberville Field @ Bryant Denny. We own the place don’t ya’ know. Gosh, you win a few games and think you’re invincible. How long is Saban gonna’ stay ? 3 years max. If you don’t run him off first. Or he bails on you. Your guys don’t have to worry about toilet paper, they can just use the pages out of those text books, you know the ones that the NCAA wants to know more about. I smell "em testing the electric chair for that operation. When you get the death penalty .

#50

I will use my considerable power and influence to make sure that the ladies rooms are well stocked for your next visit to BDS. You even have permission to take a few rolls back to Auburn with you. That should make you very popular with family and friends.

How long will Saban stay? Who knows? But he is here right now and making some noise. I can hear it coming from the Plains.
You might want to ask the same about your coach. I think I saw him trying on ten gallon hats the other day “down to the farm supply store”. Kinda made his ears stick out.

I still say those idiots wearing the Tide boxes with the toilet paper mounted to them is the most embarrasing thing I’ve seen. Tells a lot about the fan base, who else would show up 90k strong for a scrimmage.

When you get the Death Penalty , try to find a way to fit “yellow mama” into Rammer Jammer.

#52

Who shows up 90K strong for a scrimmage? Obviously not Auburn. You guys can’t even fill up your place for a game…..ought to change the name from Jordan-Hare to “empty chair”. What a pitiful “fair weather” fan base.

Death Penalty……….Bah!

It’ll be full when the “yellow mamas” come to town. Gosh, if LSU had gotten 14 penalties called against them when we played ‘em. I feel like we could have won. Our defense is right there with LSUs’ . So bring those Tide Boxes with the toilet paper on them. Talk about a fan base! Come on down , there will be be a trail of Bammer flags laying on 280 west all the way to B’ham. Uh, I mean Tuscaloser.
