The Dirty Dozen and Bottom of the Barrel Break with Tradition!

OK. This is the week we do it. This is the week we make a stand against the stupidity of the BCS and College Football Pollsters in general. We all know that they vote with biases for teams they either like or have heard of not the teams that are the best. I can prove it if you don't believe me...you know its true...yes...you do.

Last week proved this. There are no DOMINANT teams this year. Yes, that includes you Florida and Alabama. They both could have lost their games to teams that they shouldn't have. No, USC isn't the best either, you can argue they aren't even the best in the PAC 10. Boise...maybe, I happen to think TCU is better as is Cincinnati, but that's just me.

Anyway, enough railing here, let's take a look at this week Clip from the You Tube: In it, the Major warns everyone of breaking ranks...Appropriate don't you think?



And now...let's get on with the Countdown! (Thanks Casey)

The Dirty Dozen:

1) TCU 7-0 (Yes, that's right. It isn't a typo. We are the ANTI-BCS Poll. They deserve it. They killed a BYU team that beat Oklahoma and have destroyed everyone they've played. Why not put them here? This Week: TCU 31, UNLV 10)
2) Cincinnati 7-0
(They still have a couple of tests left, but how do they drop 2 spots while killing Louisville last week with the backup QB? I don't get it. They...at least for now deserve this. This Week: Cincinnati 34, Syracuse 21)
3) Boise St. 7-0
(Yes, they are going to finish undefeated. They get this by virtue of that. I don't know if there schedule was that great, but props if they run the table. They will be in A BCS game, it's just a matter of which one. This Week: Boise St. 35, San Jose St. 20)
4) Texas 7-0 (Again, winning ugly, but they are winning. Stomping Missouri wasn't that big of a deal this year. Still, they are probably one of your BCS Title game teams...Believe me when I say this. This Week: Texas 37, Ok.State 31)
5) Florida 7-0 (I know, you aren't supposed to drop if you keep winning. But I'm not sure they should have been unquestioned until now. They were lucky the past 2 weeks, eeking out wins. Something will have to change. This Week: UPSET SPECIAL!!!! Georgia 21, Florida 20)
6) Alabama 7-0 (They survive because Tennessee's kicker is awful. They should have lost. Greg McElroy looks lost all of a sudden. Again they can turn it around...but will they? This Week: Bye Week)
7) Iowa 8-0 (Lucky bastards. They stole one last week. They play in the 10 which means they aren't that good nationally. Ohio St in Columbus is still looming for them. This Week: Iowa 21, Indiana 13)
8) LSU 6-1 (Watched them dismember Auburn last week. Auburn never had a chance. They are a darkhorse team if they can be consistent. Alabama looms in a couple of weeks. This Week: LSU 41, Tulane 10)
9) USC 6-1 (I just don't buy them as being one of the "Great" USC teams. They aren't. They have holes. They were lucky to escape Oregon State last week. This Week: UPSET!! Oregon 30, USC 23)
10) Oregon 6-1 (They have done well recovering from the opening week loss to Boise. They are deep and talented and have some defense for the 1st time in recorded history. This Week: SEE #9)
11) Georgia Tech 6-1 (They exercised some demons last week at Virginia. They have the look of a championship team seeming to get better each week. They also seem to be the best of the ACC. This Week: Ga. Tech 34, Vandy 16)
12) Pittsburgh 6-1 (Better than you think, despite the Wannstache as coach. Good Sr. QB and Fr. RB are leading a balanced team. The Dec. 5th game vs. Cincy will be a very interesting game to see. This Week: BYE)

The Bottom of the Barrel:

5) Washed St. 1-6 (There just isn't much else to say. Bad is bad. This Week: Notre Dame 41, Wash. St. 10)
4) Miami, OH 0-7
(Oooof, not a good year to be at the other Miami. Nothing has gone right fort them this season. That isn't going to change. This Week: Toledo 33, Miami OH 16)
3) Western Ky. 0-7
(No, they aren't going anywhere either. MTSU just plain lit them up. They aren't good. They are playing in the wrong level. Why would anyone go see them play? This Week: North Texas 47, WKY 31)
2) Rice Krispies 0-8
(This just isn't fair. How can I top last weeks Snap, Krackle and Pop joke anyway? These guys stay soggy...without milk. Thank you...thank you very much...I'll be here all week. Make sure to tip you waiters and waitresses. This Week: SMU 112, Rice 8)
1) Old Ron Mexico 0-7
(If you could see me, you'd see me shaking my head. We have mocked Mike Locksley, reported on Mike Locksley and well we now are waiting for Locksley and AD Paul Krebs to be taken away from this tragic team. This Week: San Diego St. 31, Ron Mexico 12)

Last Week: 13-4 Not Bad! Overall : 78-27...Pretty good Don'tcha Think?
