I’ve picked all 35 bowl games based on my rankings. I’ll post my running record as the games are played. (Also, check out my final regular season rankings here.) And which games am I looking forward to this year? My number one pick for bowl entertainment is the Fight Hunger bowl. This monstrosity of a…

Rankings as of 12/04/2011. Previous weeks rankings here. The BCS explained: It used to be that a national champion in college football was determined solely by human polls. However, human polls are suspect because you are asking each voter to process the results of hundreds of college football games from teams all across the country…

Rankings as of 11/27/2011. Previous weeks rankings here. Some people were not thrilled about my rankings last week when I still had Oklahoma State ranked number 1. For example, one guy critically criticized me by saying: “I’m impressed! You spell very well and your paragraph structure is spot in. That us amazing since it is…

Ok. So I’m not sure I can defend my rankings, but I am going to try. Even after losing to Iowa State, I still have Oklahoma State ranked number 1. Let me try to explain what I think it going on. The Big 12 won a lot of their non-conference games at the beginning of…

Rankings as of 11/20/2011. Previous weeks rankings here. (I’ve made a few small corrections from my original post; I found a mistake in the data. For instance, Michigan State is now in the top 25 at number 24.) Ok. I know. This isn’t going to look good, but…….I still have Oklahoma State ranked 1 even…

Let’s get something straight right now. Wisconsin is not a top 25 football team. 4 out of the 6 BCS computer polls have them outside of the top 25 and the other two polls have them at 24 and 16. The clowns (meant with the utmost respect) who vote in the human polls have the…

Alabama hosted LSU yesterday in what was billed as number 1 versus number 2. This is a great way to market a football game, but it completely ignores reality. 6 out of 7 BCS computer polls, which the BCS itself has selected to rank college football teams, had Oklahoma State ranked number 1 heading into…

Rankings as of 11/1/2011. The previous week’s rankings are here. I apologize for not getting these rankings out until today (Tuesday), but we’re likely without power until Friday or Saturday. I’m currently in the Western New England College University Law School library, which has power and heat. Anyway…… There are 5 teams in the SITW top…
