blogpoll – Draft – Week 13

Posted by Sailor Ripley on November 29th, 2009 under Football

Well, we went from having no blogpoll ballot this week to having two after Scipio emerged from a spelunking adventure through Mammoth Cave National Park with his laptop and a Mint Julip. No word on Clipper Cooper. So this week we get ballots from both HenryJames and Scipio.

henry jamrs

1. Texas – Rivalry game tighter than expected. One win away from the BCS championship game.
2. Florida – Win over dead FSU sets up biggest game of the year thus far.
3. Alabama – Survived against Auburn, but surviving is all that matters at this point.
4. TCU – The second best team in Texas gets to the BCS.
5. Cincinnati – The only thing standing between them and the BCS is Dave Wannstedt’s moustache.
6. Boise St – Beat yet another western school not in the Pac 10.
7. Oregon – Three senior starters in their two deep.
8. Ohio State – Really hoping they don’t get anyone south of the Mason Dixon line in their bowl game.
9. Iowa – I hate myself for ranking them in the top ten.
10. Virginia Tech – Not the best three loss team in the country, but they’re the highest ranked.
11. Oregon State – A win over Oregon puts them in the Rose Bowl.
12. Miami – Firmly entrenched as the second best team in the state of Florida.
13. Georgia Tech – In a just world a loss to a Marc Richt-coached team would keep them out of the BCS.
14. Penn State – Joe Paterno is still coaching. Someone needs to tell him.
15. Pittsburgh – Dirty Sanchez vs Cincinnati Bowtie
16. Nebraska – No James Brown on the Husker roster.
17. LSU – Can you fire a coach who goes 9-3?
18. Houston – No Houston coach has won 11 games since Bill Yeoman.
19. Texas Tech – Almost lost to Baylor.
20. Cal – Remember when Jahvid Best was a Heisman candidate?
21. Stanford – That dude from ‘Life Goes On’ is a pretty good running back.
22. USC – I give Pete Carroll credit for not showing any mercy against guys who wear sweaters and play acoustic guitars.
23. Oklahoma State – Pity vote.
24. West Virginia – Did anyone think they would be better than Michigan at this point?
25. BYU – Losing to Florida State is almost as embarrassing as telling people you’re a Mormon.

1. Florida – Florida OC starting to get it and use weapons better.
2. Texas – How much of our dominant D has been facing bad QBing?
3. Alabama – Squeaks it out against their Aggy. Chizik attended the Les Miles school of clock management.
4. TCU – Played poorly and still won by 41.
5. Cincinnati – Suspect D, but Pike was fantastic.
6. Oregon – This Thursday for the Rose.
7. Ohio State – Boring Big 10 champs waiting to face OSU or Oregon in Junior Rose Bowl.
8. Boise State – Watched Nevada game and I’m just not buying it. Broncos will be “vindicated” playing a slow-paced Big 10 runner-up closely in Fiesta.
9. Iowa – Will they or Penn State go to Fiesta?
10. Virginia Tech – Hammer UVA after slow start.
11. Georgia Tech- ACC title game features losers to two 7-5 SEC teams.
12. Oregon State – Play the Ducks for the title. Most underrated Pure Hate Rivalry in CFB.
13. Miami – Impressive against dangerous USF.
14. Pittsburgh – KO’ed in Backyard Brawl. Cincy for the Big East title.
15. Penn State – Lamed their way to possible Fiesta Bowl berth.
16. LSU- Lucky to beat Arkansas.
17. Nebraska – Struggled with Colorado. O Rly?
18. Houston – Pasted poor Rice. Title game with East Carolina upcoming.
19. California – Don’t be surprised when Washington upsets them in Seattle.
20. BYU – Better pray they avoid a team of athletes in bowl.
21. Stanford – Harbaugh has had a magical year.
22. USC – Heats up the UCLA rivalry with a taunting victory. Upcoming Arizona game no gimme.
23. Oklahoma State – Blew a BCS bowl. Badly. Gundied.
24. Texas Tech – Pathetic effort against Baylor. WTF.
25. West Virginia – Devine inspiration against Pitt.

Flippd a coin, went with Carthage bane.

    As spotty as the Big 12 has been this year, I think it’s going to be worse in ‘10. Record-wise, it’s probably going to look like the ACC.

    Funny thing: TCU/Boise/Cincy are all going to be in serious conflict over our game this weekend. If we win, all 3 have great chances at a BCS game. If we lose, at least one will definitely not get in. John Nash would have a field day with this one.

    Zac Lee is the white James Brown.

    And those photos are just how I see HJ and Scipio, only more handsome somehow.

    Our offense is what I imagine it being if we plugged in Zac Robinson and asked him to read coverages every down.

    6 undefeated teams.

    0 one-loss teams.

    Crazy.

    CJD:

    That’s what I love about reading BC. You never know when someone is going to slip a “game theory” reference in with their “game analysis”!

    Going into the game you would have thought the battle would have been a classic matchup between West Virginia’s frontcourt and Villanova’s backcourt.

    The only question is which team could impose their will and dictate the mismatch. Villanova might try to do it by pressing and playing up tempo. West Virginia’s

    Dam, I was just going to post the same shit.

    OT and DB are the most important postions. OT we need Westerman, Haverty and Drango/Greenlea/Cochran. What do we know about Cochran?

    We know Junior Day #1 is this Saturday. There’s flux in regard to who will and won’t be on the roster come the 2010 season, but let’s assume the numbers don’t really matter, as a whole bunch of seniors leave after 2010 and attrition will take place as well.

    So your number is 25 max.

    What positions

    Just got back from the UT game. At least the Spurs are hanging in there.

    “Oh, and Rick Barnes couldn’t hold Bill Self’s jock when it comes to coaching. Not even close.”

    Understatement of the decade. Errr, century?

    Show of hands. How many here are typing under the influence?

  • Victor Scott commented on the blog post Kansas Open Thread   45 minutes ago

    Fundamentally on both sides of the ball we are very weak. On defense we are athletic but don’t really understand when to pressure the ball or double team. Many times we over persue at a time when the offensive player is not in a dangerous position and end up giving up an easy

    Is she a redhead? That’s fantastic. Possibly the 2nd best performance in this game behind Damion James.

    I thought I remembered a stat one time in the game where it said KU 21 points off turnovers and UT 0.

  • RRR commented on the blog post Mid-Season Thoughts and OU Pre-Game   1 hour, 29 minutes ago

    Agreed Mike. The game is just slower for Scottie Reynolds, totally in control. Imagine him last year with Blake Griffin.

    Singletary was really effective in the first meeting. He’s been frustrated a little bit the last few games, so I’d like to see him go off without much shot-blocking from the OU front

    Can that golfer shoot free throws, and dribble penetrate?

    One piece of good news for the day for the Horns. They picked up a verbal commitment from the number one golfer in the country who is a junior, Jordan Spieth out of Dallas. He will make our team top five or better the day he shows up on campus.

    Yeah, I’m just going to go ahead and give Hamilton the label.

    Bust.

    Henceforth, he shall be Jordan Bustamante to Jordan Bustafazoo.

    Ny Horn -

    You should watch the NBA more. The center position is extinct. Aldrich will probably play 10 years.

    You know the leader in scoring for centers in the NBA?

    Chris Kaman.

    Not kidding.

  • kuoirad commented on the blog post Kansas Open Thread   1 hour, 52 minutes ago

    NY Horn: considering what I understand our track record to be with putting our big men into The League, I think Iraq might be a little beneath him. Maybe France or Spain…

    Mack: right, we abuse our football players by poking them in the chest. Big difference. Though we’ve got a new coach in town, so I haven’t seen how he does abuse.

    It sounds like if you guys can get the rotation and free throws figured out, you’ll be tough to beat in the tourneys. Lord knows I don’t want to see you in the Big XII, and would love you guys make some noise in the Big Dance.

    Basketball is a fag sport anyway, imo.

    Good luck gingerballs. You guys controlled the basketball game and your guys had tired legs.

    I’ll take Hamilton in the game the rest of the season for 25 minutes a game and we will be a better team in the long run. We must have 5 players who can score to have a chance against the premier teams in the country. I agree that he will have to
