I did pick UNC over Miami
But only gave it 1 point!
I also had the Fighting Prophylactics, Didn’t think Stanford would win in LA. If it was up @ Stanford, I might have taken Stanford

Im doing quite well w/ 26
It is by mistake though. For whatever reason I ordered my picks backwards this week. Huston-UCF was my 1 point pick. I should end quite well as long as Auburn wins.

Just got back. Expected outcome, unexpected method to get there.
Will miss the redheaded dancer, as she is a senior. When I oogle future dancers, I only will be doing so wondering how much better Nicole would look doing the routine.
Stupid Ohio State. But props to Iowa for using a backup QB to the fullest.
Let’s go Notre Dame.
The red headed dancer
Is the only saving grace of the dance team. They’re the most useless part of the game.
It’s sad that P.J. is gone though. At least I got her for my four years :)

Don't worry about that

Sorry - stepped away for a bit to catch up with family
So, that was one hell of a finish to that Iowa-OSU game. And to answer the question from the last thread, I’ll be excited to watch the Rose Bowl (because I’ll probably watch it anyway) if the other OSU is there – Oregon State. Yes, they need a lot of help, but they’re still in the running for the Pac-10 title. And I’ll continue support those guys from last season.

Look at this:
Texas blew out UCF, Houston’s playing well, so hell, why not make them my 10 point selection.
Screw you Jonathan Crompton
I blame myself for not picking Stanford when I had a hunch.
Vandenberg is still the Mandenberg but he’s got a ways to go. I could not resist my Iowa shillery.

Can't completely blame UT's loss on Crompton
That defense refused to tackle Ole Miss’ RB (whose name escapes me now…)
But I got suckered into the Houston pick for 10 too – the week I finally give Houston respect and think they’re a legit team, they turn around and burn me.
I lost the Iowa one too.

I know it wasn’t Crompton’s fault but it’s not like I’m going to go into my details

Yeah not too worried about the D-line talent, even with Odrick leaving
You have raw guys like Lattimore and Crawford who should improve with more experience. Ogbu should anchor the middle with Still being a good up and comer, and a ton (quite literally) of talent coming in this class. Should be a good line for the next 4 or so years.
He'll see the field if he can keep his weight down
If he gets lazy and doesn’t watch it no, especially with the talent we have coming in.
Unfortunately, yes
And the extra calories will push him back into Joe’s doghouse.
What year is Ingram
If he can, I bet he goes pro. Hes been talked about all year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he strikes while the iron is hot.
Fresh out of Michigan

This is too far in the future
Yet it worries me as well. Nick Saban runs NFL defensive schemes (watch the Steelers in what is actually a 1-5-5 on third and long) that confuse the hell out of college QBs. The 2003 Pseudo National Championship Game is an example. Left DE Marcus Spears dropped into a zone coverage while DBs blitzed and intercepted a pass off of Jason White for a score. I don’t want a novice QB trying to read that shit.

Way to come out of the woodwork Pitt fan… Lids was packed today with fair weather fans buying hats, Dick’s was packed today with fair weather fans buying shirts… Downtown had people wearing Pitt stuff on Friday, and I’ve NEVER seen that before… guess everyone just finally realized Pitt actually has a football team…

Given that they’re a potential bowl opponent, this is interesting.
So predictions of how high we jump in polls?
I’m saying 14 – we will pass:
Miami
Utah
Huston
USC
Could also pass LSU, Pitt and/or Oregon if they lose

It’ll be interesting to see what the computers do for Iowa. They’re the only thing keeping them afloat because the humans don’t have much respect for them right now, and that’s not gonna get better tomorrow. I’d say theres a chance we pass them if the human’s hose them as expected and the computers do anything less than rank them 15.
LSU is irrelevent though, they’re not gonna get a BCS bid anyway.
An oregon loss would be nice though.

They’re only 4 spots ahead of us in the coach’s and 5 in the Harris. I’d say we’re definitely going to pass them in those polls especially with all the carnage today. The question is how much the computers can save them from. It’ll be close.

And I thank you for furthering my point :)
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

If you take style points out
no reason we should be higher than Iowa. I mean the only arguement we can use is their close games especially the one against FCS.
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?
Here's how I see the argument
Both teams have an equal loss to a quality team. Penn State has a second loss to a quality team (Iowa), while Iowa has a second less to a mediocre team (jNW).
On the other side, Penn State has really no big win – the biggest at this point being Temple. Iowa has 2 quality wins – Arizona and us.
For me, Iowa remains ahead of us due to their higher quality of wins. (That’s where the head-to-head aspect will come in.)
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
I wouldn't, FWIW
Iowa played about as bad against Indiana as we did against Indiana. Head to head win, and they looked better than Ohio State.
