Star-divide

As much as I would love to vote LSU number one, I watched the game last night and cannot, in good conscience, do that. It's a shame we'll never know how Oklahoma State's offense would have fared against either defense - he would have been the best QB either team faced by a country mile - but that is the terrible system in which we are stuck.

After tweaking this a bit, I feel pretty comfortable with everybody at the top. Perhaps the biggest sham of the bowl season is that Boise didn't get to test itself against a real team, but I don't feel like it's fair to punish them for that when they destroyed Georgia perhaps even more efficiently than LSU did, then took care of the business most of the season.

You could make a case that Wisconsin should be even higher, considering of their three losses, two were by Hail Marys and one was a close, competitive loss to a great Oregon team. You could also make a case for Michigan but seriously screw Michigan. Probably wouldn't hurt to have Nebraska ranked, but why not reward some white hot #MACtion at season's end?

I think a case could be made for Okie State as #2

Their win over Stanford, in a game lacking defense, is almost as good as last night’s contest, a game lacking offense.

But I am tooo lazy to make such a statistical case.

Well hello there hangover. Fancy meeting you here this bright Thursday morning.

If LSU had won, definitely

But LSU has wins over Oregon (Rose Bowl champs), WVU (Orange Bowl champs), and Alabama. That’s a fantastic resume and I don’t think I could rank anyone other than Alabama ahead of them.

If this makes sense

I liked LSU over Oklahoma State and Oklahoma State over Alabama. Although I read this and feel a little more inspired to put the Pokes at 1: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBC_T25_BCS_PICKING_1?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-01-10-12-15-14

This

many times over.

Sometimes I want to invite my wife (the shrink) to view the pages and playfully diagnose some of the more frequent posters. The same can be said for UHND.

First win over a top ten team

Michigan State is the first time ND has beaten that finished in the top 10 since Michigan in Tyrone’s first year. Progress? lol

Has anyone else noticed the USC Masters Ad on the home page???

Or maybe I’m just hallucinating again.

No I haven't.

But I do get some other random stuff from time to time. I have had a ton of jewelry ads lately. Do people buy a lot of jewelry after the holidays? I guess it is the Valentine’s Day ramp up. Worst holiday ever. Thanks Hallmark!
