blogpoll – Draft – Week 3

Posted by Scipio Tex on September 20th, 2009 under Football

Week 3, Carnival-goers. Let me know what you think.

1. Florida – Tebow bailed out by Gator D; Give Vols a sentient life form at QB and we have a new #1
2. Alabama – Answers everywhere; whine if you like Longhorns
3. Texas – Defense is quality; OL, Colt’s consistency in free fall
4. Cal – Gutted out a 10:00am PST road win; Autzen road test, USC looms
5. Miami – next @ Va Tech, OU @ home; win both and we have a new #1!?
6. Ole Miss – Inscrutable
7. Penn State – Feeble Big 10 will protect them a while longer
8. Cincinnati – College football is fortunate that Brian Kelly doesn’t have Tressel’s job
9. Oklahoma – Landry Jones has confidence now; DL still rocking
10. TCU – Pretty uninspired against Texas State
11. LSU – A harsh reality check is on their horizon
12. USC – Corp-sman! Corp-sman! We’ve got wounded
13. Ohio St – Tressel opens up the offense AGAINST TOLEDO; I laughed
14. Virginia Tech – Bo Pelini is Brad Lidge
15. Florida State – Noles don’t respect their Elders; Ponder has really come along
16. Kansas – Truckin’ along; Southern Mississippi game will tell me something
17. Boise St – Surrendered 500+ yards and three 60+ yard TD runs to a weak Fresno State team; save the Top 10 fairy tales for your kids
18. North Carolina – Much better on offense this week
19. Houston – This week’s game with Tech is a program definer
20. BYU – Noles would not like to accept the further testimony of Joseph Smith
21. Michigan – A very flawed, but fun, football team
22. Oklahoma State – Allowed a bad Rice team to play them competitively at home
23. Missouri – Expected rout of weak opponent
24. Washington – 2-1 with a USC win and a tough LSU loss
25. Georgia – Won a road shootout with dangerous Arkansas team

just missed: Auburn, Texas Tech, Nebraska

    CAl is overrated but will not stumble this weekend against a bad Oregon team.

    I think Miami should be at number 3 followed by Texas. The game with VT will be interesting.

    I think Ole Miss and TCU will fall from the ranks of the unbeaten this weekend. Could Penn State be exposed as an overrated outfit as some suggest this weekend by a gritty Iowa team?

    Arkansas will be interesting to watch this year as they beat a few teams. Do they have enough defense and can they score enough to scare Alabama?

    Miami is a damn good team.

    Man, I love Texas, but i don’t think they belong in the top 8. Offensively, they don’t know who they are. Colt 09 is nothing compared to Colt 08— why i don’t know, but it’s plain for everyone to see. TV commentators are scared to say it, becuz he’s such a good guy—- But he’s not the same guy.

    Last year the team had MOJO! It was a surprise, it was a shock, but that was the year to cash in. This year’s expectations ruins the mojo—– it is just ruined. Last year the offense was in some sort of beautiful synch. you can’t prepare for that, you can’t practice that—it just happens and you better cash in when you feel it. We blew it when Shipley dropped that bomb at Tech, when Gideon goofed the easiest interception, when thomas couldn’t push a man out of bounds.

    I’ve been thinking that the top 25 needs to go back to being the top 20, or maybe even the top 10. There aren’t enough good football teams to honor 25 with being ranked…

    If Texas had played UNT we would’ve been just as dominant as Bama. We should not be punished for playing a decent opponent.

    As far as Colt goes, I agree. He is more like Colt of 07 than of 08. However… how much of that is due to the flu??? Arguably he could’ve had it during the Wyoming game… The flu normally doesn’t JUST effect you for 4-5 days.

    “College football is fortunate that Brian Kelly doesn’t have Tressel’s job.”

    Amen. Kelly is a damn fine football coach and would wreck shop with tOSU’s resources – namely, an extremely gifted QB that has been handcuffed and shell shocked by tightass Tressel.

    I realize that Colt does not appear as sharp as he was last year, but then again to complete 80% of your passes TWO years in a row would have me wondering just how often the devil got so screwed on soul purchasing. But, to say a player is in “free fall” after they complete 70 % of their passes is a little extreme. JMO

    I would be the first to say that it would appear that there are times when Colt is “pressing” a little bit and perhaps should throw the ball away instead of taking a sack ESPECIALLY when he has held the ball for five seconds. Eventually the pocket is going to break down no matter how good the OL is or how bad the DL is. But there is something to be said for having a player think that they can “will” a succesful outcome. Playing with confidence is one of the most important atttibutes a player can have.

    I like Miami in the 3 slot. They looked very for real. Texas needs to slide a spot for the general good of the order.

    Virginia Tech seems too high, especially in light of the beadown Miami is going to administer this Saturday. But it’s hard to make a good argument for anyone below them.

    I fully expect to see Texas Tech on that list before long, at this point they deserve more credit than Oklahoma State does.

    Miami has about as much business being in the top five at this juncture as Scipio Tex has in coaching someone’s offensive line. lol.

    VaTech will beat Miami in Blacksburg and OU will absolutely annihilate them the next week in Miami.

    Wait, the same VaTech team that had to go to the last minute against Nebraska and has already used it’s one accurate Tyrod Taylor throw for the year?

    Bama and Florida are on a collision course. Being #3 is basically being #2.

    Most years we wouldn’t look like a top 5 team, but I don’t know who is better, so #3 works for me.

    Miami has every right to be #5 based on the way they’ve played. They have the chance to prove just how good they are in two weeks. They’re gonna fuck Tech up this week. Tech, like Ga. is always over ranked.

    Nice to see U-Dub in the top 25. I was skeptical of Sarkisian at first. So far he has definitely impressed. That out pass that Locker threw was the best pass I saw all weekend.

    Way too harsh on Pelini.

    Callahan provided more fodder for you guys – but Bo has his sh*t together

    Yeah, the same VaTech team that had to go to the last minute to beat Nebraska.

    VaTech was looking ahead to Miami when they played the somewhat underrated Huskers (who are playing extremely hard under Pellini, btw) and it nearly cost them.
