BLOGPOLL, CONTINUING TO REDEFINE MUDDLE

Just be thankful you don’t have to make predictions about each BCS conference champion. The SEC is a race between two Titans and a drunken nymph riding a magic donkey with wings that happens to have Chaos Serum strapped in a vial hanging from his taint. The Big East you would have to pick Cincinnati which just feels wrong. The Pac-10 is befuddling, but more transparent now that UCLA has collapsed and Cal is officially exposed as the Jahvid Best Experience. The ACC is like bedlam in Mrs. Johnson’s twelfth grade class for Special Students, with the winner having the most retard strength most consistently (probably VT, GT or Miami but fuck if I know Bobby Bowden might have two months of consecutive clarity and go on a brutal savage conference schedule run). At least the Big XII is shaping up to be Texas and the Eleven Dwarfs again.

LSU is an 800 lbs gorilla with a chainsaw for a dick….when it wants to be.

Well, this is just gold. Steven Garica is “a poor man’s Tim Tebow”

All these changes have Kansas fans nervous because it is a bit too much like evolution.

18th is very kind to Houston. C’mon, they lost to UTEP.

Residents of the state of Louisiana discover the intricacies of cellular phones…again…http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4534884

Nothing wrong with a little VooDoo mind games.

The real asshole in the cell phone matter is the Florida student or fan that leaked the number to a LSU fan.

Ah.. the phone bit is funny to me. I don’t think it affects the outcome of the game. UF lost in ’07 because LSU had a better team. Meaning they had a real, actual defense to put on the field. Period.

Am I reading that right? LSU up 15 spots? Wow. Hitting the drank?

Wow Orson. tOSU misses two chip shot FGs and gives up a TD with no time left with our backups in vs. Indiana, still cover the spread and drop 7 spots. If we had won 39-7 would we have dopped further or just a few? I know the Big Ten is on thouroughbred (Ohio State) and 10 plow horses, but they won’t let us in the SEC this late in the season.

@ 8

The only way it affects the game is in terms of TD ir big play celebrations. Riley Cooper should feel honored that he was one of the players selected that is now allowed to do the “Who’s calling me now” hand gesture.

@Kevin.. true. The difference is this year it would cost them 15 yards every time they do it. Hopefully, they watched the game last week and will be able to contain themselves.

@ ALGator

This is true which will then mean the fans truely have an impact on the game!

I would like to see it come full circle and have Brandon Spikes drop kick a cell phone into the crowd after an interception return.

But really, there’s a lot of hilarious things I’d like to see this Saturday.

@11

Given tOSU’s track record against the SEC elite, they would come in fourth or fifth in the SEC. It also sucks but Iowa and Wisconsin are both undefeated and Iowa’s beaten a ranked opponent, in an away game no less. You get your chance this week against Wisconsin. Then you might get to claim that tOSU isn’t a dour, miscoached offense full of tremendous but unfulfilled talent, and a defense that makes games that should be blowouts close.

Wow, Oklahoma State dropped out for not playing and Oklahoma for losing by a point on the road to No. 10? Odd.

I can’t shake the feeling that Penn State may be wanting to review JoePa’s driving privileges soon—rickety is the appropriate descriptor. Of course, one could say that about everyone in the Big We Can’t Count.

Give Houston credit, at least they are entertaining. [Looks in Tressel’s direction.]

@Kevin-#3 - did you read that "writer"’s bio? I wouldn’t put too much stock into what he posted.
6-56 to a win vs. the Gators this year is an awfully big jump.
I’d settle for just covering the number this year.

@9,

Orson’s just pushing a chair up behind LSU with that move so the effect will be more spectacular when Florida pushes them over this weekend.

(Sorry LSU fans, I’m pretty sure that with or without Tebow, the Gators will be able to score more than 13 points, and Florida’s defense is better than Georgia’s….and will be consciously playing better to make up for a perceived crippled offense.)

Re: UF-LSU

When you shorten the game, anything can happen. If they can execute the Tennessee defensive gameplan and take away the inside run and entire passing game with their good secondary, Tebow won’t be there to carry it all on his shoulders.

They don’t have as good of a running game as Tennessee but maybe they could execute some short passes and get lucky with a shot down the field. If the Gators continue to fumble and take huge penalties, then you’re left with a close game in the 4th, which means you might as well call it then.

Who knows, I will be most interested to see if Florida gives up two touchdowns for the first time this year.

@16, “and a defense that makes games that should be blowouts close.” I guess you mean Navy? Yeah I would still blame the offense for OSU the lack of blowouts.

Texas slides for not playing and having a weak schedule while florida stays put while not playing? Our schedule was the same as last week since we didn’t play.

How’s that charleston southern win doing for ya jortsie?

What if the Florida players jump up and down with a teammate and do the phone gesture to each other (team celebration) versus taunting the crowd with the same gesture following each touchdown? By my understanding of the rule, that would not garner a penalty…right?

(Not that I think they should do the gesture at all, just pointing out a possible way around the silly rule.)

@4:

I love how Misery fans are always so much more concerned with KU’s successes and failures than those of their own program.

Good luck with Braskeypants this week- they’re a bit better than Bowling Green from what I’ve heard.

Which reminds me, we’re about due for another Dadaist adventure with Lil’ Red, are we not, Mr. S?

@4 – you know your mom has a Todd Reesing poster on the back of her bathroom door. Every mom in the midwest does

No Nebraska? Oh well, that’ll change after Thursday.

Houston still in the poll? Do you people know how bad UTEP is?

1. -

USC lost to Washington and is #8. UTEP might be better than Udub.

Not that I would have Houston ranked either. But I also wouldnt have USC ranked.
