BLOGPOLL, WEEK THREE: OHIO STATE CASHES A CHECK

This is a day on par with 1929 & the railroad bankrupcies of the 1880s. I’m a commercial insurance broker witnessing my professional world change before my very eyes.

But nothing today compares to the shock of seeing Alabama up at 11 or 12 in all the polls.

I like moving up four by doing absolutely nothing. It is a good day.

I see the Huskers have found a place of honor at the bottom of the pile. So it begins the tough climb to prominence in Orson’s eyes. Which at least for me is far far more important than any AP, Coaches or Nostradamus-like poll from my ever so red shaded perspective.

Va Tech shall make a excellent test of our mettle.

Word of Caution to our rivals to the southeast. ‘Pride goeth before the fall…’ this means you Mizzou. Lincoln in the dark is not a place you want to play…. There is a reason you haven’t won here since 1978, Memorial Stadium is like Kryptonite to your Superman QBs just ask Brad Smith.

FUCKING COCA-COLA!!! Take that, Mormons.

Dude if I was the BYU QB, I would get so many sister-wives right now, and they would all be pregnant by a fortnights end…..
There once was a special education singing group, who would ,as a reward for good singing, get one Tab and one Apple……thus the Moron Tab-N-Apple Choir was born…..(snare,kickdrum and cymbal crash)

So Florida State’s not ranked here? Huh. And I thought beating Western Carolina and Chattanooga counted for something!

This is by far the shakiest Top 25 ever…

I’m not wholey impressed with anyone thus far…. though I have yet to see LSU even play. I mean really, USC have feasted on vastly subpar opponents, and Oklahoma are due for an ugly 13-7 win over Iowa State or some ridiculous bullshit like that.

If Matthew Stafford “is the best quarterback in the year’s class”… this is the sorriest class of QB’s in a LOOONNNGGG time.

Texas I think just proves its best to just not play. Just sit and ride out the storm that is the regular season, and dismiss all notion that Colt McCoy, while having the coolest name for any Texas player, ever, is still Colt McCoy…

I would say
1.USC—til they actually play someone…..take your pick, Clemson or tOSU——-neither one is Top 15 material——
I dont think they will get challenged til they show up in the BCS….then they will kill Choklahoma…again….
2. Georgia——-stays here til they play Alabama. Then insert Florida here til they play Georgia……
3. Oklahoma or Mizzou——both are about the same, have not played anyone of note til conference play….
4. Penn State——Have plenty of thugs to do the deal, a REAL Big 10 Champion—the Big 10’s version of Clubber Lang calling out the paper champion tOSU—will destroy tOSU and any fans walking by frat houses…….
5. Some random SEC team——either LSU or Florida
6. B-angin Y-our U-nderage sister on the compound…

The rest will answer questions once league play resumes or actual ranked opponents that can actually play good football against quality competition….until then the lottery works just as good…..

As a Mortgage-Backed Securities Analyst, let me just say that I’ve taken myself out of the top 25.

Wish I’d scheduled Charleston Southern and UT-Chattanooga instead of Option-A Arms and 2nd Lien CMBS.

I guess by keeping my Buckeyes ranked, Orson feels that there are only 15 teams capable of coming within 32 of USC.

Anyone else think that Troy vs. Ohio State is a potential upset special?
Today’s transitive property:
Troy > MTSU > Maryland > Cal

this week the mighty will rise and the imposters will be exposed

OleMiss – Vandy *NO! you’re on the bottom!
Fla – TN *you just thought you could make it back to ATL
AU – LSU *Corndogs & Cowpies… what could be more fun?
Ala – Ark *Winner gets dinner at Wafflehouse
FSU – Wake *who would have ever thought this would matter?
UGA – AzSt *we will see if the mojo can travel
Troy – tOSU *when was the last time you wore out two Trojans?
MissSt – GaTech *those bees better have that mind control device working

Does Russia have to invade someone else before they find themselves ranked?

And no love for UConn?? Edsall’s gonna be pissed….

Despite the construction worker debacle of a few weeks ago, McCoy is to be taken seriously. He is a talented QB with a lot of skills. If our o-line holds up, he will do very, very well this year. (Fozzy Whitaker also has a great name.)

The defense is just wait and see…unfortunately, October 11 is coming way too soon.

becket929,

Between the protection breakdowns and drops, I thought Stafford performed fairly well against South Carolina. He made one absolutely horrible play that was fortunately negated by an iffy penalty. Otherwise, no major mistakes and a couple of genuinely impressive plays.

You forgot The Mississippi Bubble, which is more appropriate,as it bankrupted the world’s pre-eminent power at the time.

If you liked $4 gas, you’ll love $10 gas a year from now.

Only Ole Pi$$ losing out will assuage the pain.

Thoroughly concur on Penn State. As I had remarked this morning, Jo Pa is truly Rasputin: Every time CW has him pegged to flop, fail, get BOR’d, he puts up a 10-11 win season. This season, they can run the table given the other cripples in the Big Televen

1. -

How about a choice between NCST and some Home Eq floaters?

At least you didn’t have to put up with Ron Cherry’s crew “giving you the business”

Should Ball State beat IU, they will be 4-0 and I hope get some love in the next edition of the poll.

Matt Stafford = Jeff George = slightly better manners.

Clemson should not be ranked. Sponsored by Net Zero.

re: new hot, hot sex. BYU

All those words so close together…makes me nervous. Offending the Almighty is not something to trifle with.

When you coach for 400 years, you’re bound to sneak in a 10-11 win season every now and then.
Especially in the Big 10.

Biggus…

I’ll agree, he doesnt make horrid errors, but he doesn’t in any way, shape, or form come close to being “the best in this class”.. There’s 3 years of tape on Stafford, and hes really the exact same guy today that he was 3 years ago. He’s not any worse, he doesn’t cost UGA games, but there’s little chance of him being a guy in the last 2 minutes of a game to drive the field and win it for ya.

And seriously, there’s a half dozen at least better than him that could come out this year – Chase Daniels, Mark Sanchez, Juice Williams, Todd Reesing, Pat White, Matt Grothe…. Grothe have the potential to make silly errors doing too much at certain times, but he’s also got the potential to stick in the corner of the endzone in overtime at Jordan-Hare…. ask yourself if you SERIOUSLY believe Stafford can do the same…

I realize it’s going to appear biased coming from me, but…

Is it possible hat Toledo is actually working on turning Tulane into a semi-sorta-kinda-ok respectable team? Everyone just assumed Bama took the Clemson win a little too seriously, but two weeks in a row?

becket929,

Well, there was about a six minute drive his freshman year against Georgia Tech where he hit several key passes including the TD and 2-point conversion that won the game in the final two minutes for Georgia. There was the 90-yard drive in the closing minutes of the Vandy game last year, culminating in the game-winning field goal. There was also the perfectly thrown ball to Mikey Henderson on the first play of overtime at Alabama last year to win the game. And to say he’s the same guy as the one who threw 13 interceptions to 7 TDS while completing 51% of his passes just shows how little attention you’ve been paying.

This is not to say that I think he’s the best college QB out there, but he is going to be the first QB taken for good reason. He fits the pro mold better.

Correction: It was a drive that started from the 10 against Vandy, not a 90-yard drive.

@24

The Green Wave will be immediately better. This is just his his second year and Toledo’s doing a pretty good job down there.

I pity the Memphises of the world.

Here’s a shout out to The Humanitarian: Happy Birthday, Pete!

Hard to argue with 59-0.

Like Coach Stalin always said, when it comes to points scored, quantity has a quality all its own.

my family is mormon (i got out of that shit when i left home) and my mom starts every day with a caffeinated diet pepsi and her three favorite words are shit, damn and hell.

Criminaly underrated…Class.

Matthew Stafford = Brody Croyle with a better group around him.

Too bad Penn State has to travel to Columbus to play this year. They never win in the C-bus, I know the Bucks look like shit but the crowd and Pryor will beat the Nittnies, now Wisconsin that is loss #2 for the Bucks, if they can get by troy this week.
