BCS Forecast
Click here. As of this posting, Anderson-Hester is not out for this week, it will be added when available and when I'm able to do so after parent-teacher conference day. It is now updated with Anderson-Hester. Wolfe does not release his until next week (the holdout so the BCS cronies can have an...
Looking back at years of AP Polls
I noticed some things I found interesting. Perhaps you will as well. 73 total polls, 1503 teams listed: 1936-61 (20 teams ranked) 1962-67 (10 teams ranked) 1968-88 (20 teams ranked) 1989-current (25 teams ranked) 1) FBS Teams without a single final poll appearance: Akron, Ark St, Ball St, Buffalo,...
Florida wins the preseason national championship
Never before has a team received so many first place votes in the preseason AP Poll. Never! Florida got 58 of 60, and some shitty team from somewhere else got the other two. Pity votes one would assume. The rest of the Top 25 is inconsequential. It's not surprising that Florida got that many votes...

OMG! Click here to find out! After you go pick up a new computer to replace the one you smashed, you can take solace in the fact that at least some people in the media aren't fucktards.
Big 12 Media Days preview
The Big 12 media days kick of tomorrow, and last week the media released their preseason poll and All Big 12 Team. Texas received the most first place votes (17 to OU’s 15), but they both tied with 172 points. So some shitheel probably picked Texas third on their ballot because he feels a Mike...
The Stoops Paradox
I see a lot of people parroting Stoops' line about how you can't use Texas' head-to-head victory over OU in voting unless you also vote Tech ahead of Texas...but yet OU beat Tech. OMG! There is no solution! I am surprised by how many people seem to buy this argument. It's an example of...
Texas Passes OU in Coaches' Poll
Looks like some of them were shamed by some of the media scrutiny. Still, not a very compelling lead for us. An OU victory over Tech while we're on bye creates the possibility for backsliding. By the way, don't look now, but UTEP and Florida Atlantic are now .500 at 5-5 and Rice comes off idle at...
Mr. Football's BCS doomsday scenario
Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has come up with a scenario that he believes will cause the most hatred towards the BCS system. But what if No. 4 Florida beats No. 1 Alabama in the SEC championship game and No. 3 Texas beats No. 14 Missouri for the Big 12 championship? Penn State...
The Big 12 South and the BCS
Looks like the computers love the Big 12 South. 40% of the BCS Top Ten are from the Big 12 South. Basically, the 5th best team in the Big 12 will have a home game for the Conference championship. 2. Texas Tech 4. Texas 6. Oklahoma 9. Oklahoma State 14. Missouri
