blogpoll – Draft – Week 10

Posted by Scipio Tex on November 8th, 2009 under Football

Good luck ranking anyone past #5. The transitive property is pretty useless at this stage and delineating 2-3 loss teams vs 0-1 loss teams who haven’t played anyone isn’t easy for any voter who isn’t just mailing it in.

1. Texas – Deep ball. Is that legal? Apparently. Longhorns roll after slow start.
2. Florida - Gator O looks ordinary right now. Tebow sacked four times.
3. Alabama – I’m not a SEC conspiracy theorist, but that wasn’t an interception?
4. TCU – 9 different ballcarriers in big win over San Diego State. Next up: Utah.
5. Cincinnati – QB Collaros may have Wally Pipped Tony Pike. D was very shaky.
6. Georgia Tech- Barely beat Wake. 6th best team in the country? Maybe not. But make your case for someone else.
7. LSU- They’ve lost to Bama and Florida. How punishable is that?
8. Miami – Smashed Virginia after competitive first half.
9. Pittsburgh – The ’stache ‘chine rolls on. Games down the stretch against Cincy, Notre Dame, West Virginia will tell tale.
10. Boise State – Struggle with an injury racked bad team in La Tech. But they beat Oregon nine weeks ago! What more do you people want?
11. Oregon – Dominated athletically and intellectually by Stanford.
12. USC – Thoroughly unimpressive in Tempe.
13. Ohio State – Win over a gutless Penn St.
14. Iowa – It finally happened. And it will happen again next week.
15. Houston – All offense, no defense is no way to go through life, son.
16. Oklahoma State – Running game and defense bludgeon the Cyclones.
17. Utah – Big showdown in Fort Worth around the corner.
18. Arizona – Control their own destiny in Pac 10.
19. Penn State – They’ve lost convincingly @ home to every team with a pulse they’ve played.
20. Clemson – Starting to actually look good.
21. Virginia Tech – Thoroughly unimpressive against East Carolina.
22. Stanford – Love what Harbaugh is doing on The Farm.
23. Auburn – Defense keeps looking shaky.
24. Oregon St - Why not?
25. Navy – They win in in South Bend again. Georgia Tech without RB talent.

    I fully expect Harbaugh to be in the Blue and Maize in 3 years or less.

    He will have to do some major fence building after taking shots at Michigan’s academic standards for athletes.

    I understand, but after the stench of Rich Rod fully settles over Ann Arbor, who else would be an attractive candidate to take that job? Les Miles….no

    When I lived in the bay area and Harbaugh took the Stanford job, they all knew he would be gone within five years; either he would suck and be replaced or move on to greener pastures.

    I’d move tOSU up simply because they look like the best team in the Big 10, and maybe Tressel will let “Pryor be Pryor” for a few games.

    I’d also move LSU to #6. They aren’t that great, but neither is anyone else in the country…except for us when GDavis leaves the box to take shit.

    LSU has just as much if not more talent than anyone in the country. Miles is a joke of a coach. He has yet to get through a year with less than 2 losses.

    Fences will have to be mended, but Harbaugh is a Michigan man.

    Andrew Luck is something else. Did Texas recruit that kid?

    LSU still #7 after news that Scott is out the rest of the regular season and may miss the bowl game?

    I would like to play my ‘hindsight is 20/20′ card and say that Luck should have been a take.

  9. Groundhogday said:

    November 8th, 2009 at 9:44 pm

    Nordberg,

    He was the top ranked QB in the state 2 years ago and one of the top overall prospects. My question is, did Texas even bother to recruit him or did he commit to Stanford early in the process because that’s where he wanted to go or Texas showed no interest?

    Regardless, the kid has a strong arm and great touch.

    We recruited Luck but he was Stanford all the way. He committed early in June 2007 before he even took his official visit.

    I’ll echo Vash. I remember Luck, he had a hard on for Cardinal from the get go.

    I’d put LSU at 5, they are better than Cinci and Ga Tech. Two losses be damned.

    “We recruited Luck but he was Stanford all the way. He committed early in June 2007 before he even took his official visit.

    FWIW, that’s how I remember it as well. He was 100% Tree from jump street.

    Even though I’m a diehard GT man, I agree that as far as power goes, LSU should probably be ranked ahead of GT. At least until we figure a way not to lose to them in teh Chicken Bowl in our own back freakin yard!
    Besides, we could probably move the ball on anyone in the country, but we make mediocre quarterback look like Heisman contenders with our “Waffle House” defensive backfield. Not that anyone but Morgan on our DL is playing all that great either. Do you have a player with concussion problems, sore shoulder, ankle problems? No problem, play him at QB against GT – its the safest place for him in the whole stadium. We get no pressure on the QB hardly ever. And yes, Scipio, we have tried shouting sarcasm,and profanity laced familial refrences as our LBs and DEs are skewered on another OL’s blocks ( as you put it) it doesn’t seem to affect their throwing motion much. In fact, we had to stop because it was pissing them off.
