Hawaii didn't move up. They were #10 in last weeks coaches poll as well.

As many know, I am a LSU fan. Even before Yesterday's events of #1 and #2 losing, when LSU looked to have no hope to make the National Title game yet had a high enough ranking to make a playoffs I did not want a playoffs. I recently read an article where the BCS chairman(or whatever he is called) cited reasons why there would most likely never be a playoffs. Some of those reasons were... They only want football to be a one semester sport as in they don't want any more games scheduled after the spring semester begins. This means that the National Title Game could not really be scheduled for any later than it is now. Also, not mentioned in the article but a factor, they don't want the games to be played during final, so bowl games can't begin any earlier. This means you only have about three(if you squeeze it maybe four) weeks for playoff games. The article also pointed out that they don't want the season to have to many games. Now I know some of ya'll think this does not matter but remember, while several of these kids that would play in the playoffs will make it to the NFL, most won't. NCAA claims to be students first athletes second. This limits the size of the playoff to a size of four maybe eight teams. Now the article did mention other reasons, but I kind of forgot them as they were ones I heard before while the above ones were ones that aren't mentioned that often. But other reasons for no playoffs. It would weaken the regular season. Lets take a look at the NFL for a second. While several people wanted to see a game between Dallas and Greenbay who both will likely have a shot at the Superbowl, is there a high demand to watch the Bears-Vikings(two possible wildcard teams). Not really. Also with Greenbay losing was there a huge dent to there chance at the superbowl? I think not, while probably losing home field advantage might be a small dent, they still have a good chance of making the superbowl. Now lets come back to the NCAA, the annual Red River Shootout, a mid season game between Oklahoma and Texas. The winner of this game has a huge shot at the National Title Game while the loser has a long road and needs a lot of luck in order to make it. This is a almost a must watch game. In college football right now there are two or three must watch games a week while in the NFL there is one maybe every other week. With the playoffs in college football a team who faltered during the regular season could still make it, so if we missed the Red River Shootout, who cares as they both still have a decent shot. This is a little fact that I heard on ESPN. I can't be 100% sure if this is true, but if it is a really good fact. Before this year no two loss team ever played in the bowl game that determined the National Champion. Having playoff, it opens the door to undeserve teams having a chance at the National Title. Let look at the NFL, a few seaons ago(might of even been last season, I just don't remember which) going into the final week of the season it appeared possible for a 7-9 team to make it to the playoffs. Can you imagine a 7-9 team winning the Superbowl? In College Basketball a year or two ago, a team with a losing record made the NCAA tournament. In the MLB this past season(MLB having one of the hardest playoffs to make), a team made the playoffs with a 52.5% win percentage. That is barely winning over half your games. In College football, before this season if you only lost one game, you had to get lucky to play for the National Title. If you had two losses you were just about out of luck. Also having playoffs take away from bowl games. SKA's 16 game playoff took 14 bowl games away from some 6-6 and 7-5 teams. Imagine for a second that you are Mississippi State. You are your conference cupcake team. Now, you managed to somehow pull seven wins out of your ass. With SKA's format, there is a real good chance that Mississippi State doesn't make a bowl game. Doesn't get the recognition of having a good year. Doesn't get shown on TV to lure recruits to the school and falls back to the cellar of the SEC. With the current format, Mississippi State will probably make a bowl game and be shown on TV. Recruits can watch them and think that the team is on the rise and sign there. Some might be thinking that we could add some games. Yeah, you could do that and take away from the prestige that is the Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl. Now here is a format that I saw in the article that I found very interesting. At the end of the regular season, instead of #1 playing #2 have them go to the games that they normally would go to before the additional of the National Title game. Then after all the bowl games are played have #1 play #2 for the national title. This would keep the tradition of college football(tradition being the most important thing of college football) and would give everyone that plus one game to hopefully meet a compromise between the pro and anti playoff people. The things I found interesting about the above format is this. It would keep the tradition of bowl games alive, hell it might even bring back more of the tradition now that the Pac-10 winner would almost be guranteed to play in the Rose Bowl instead of jumping it for the National Title game. It would in fact make the other bowl games more interesting. If you had a playoff and had #1 play #4 and #2 play #3 than #5 has no shot of making the national title therefore not as much demand to watch #5. But if they play in their regular bowls and #5 plays before #1,3,4 you might want to watch this game incase #1,3,4 all lose thier games.

New Coaches out... Ohio State #1 LSU #2 Oklahoma #3 Georgia #4 Virgina Tech #5

Such a shame. Now I am not much of a redskins fan but I was really looking forward to watching the maturation of both Taylor and Landry to see just how nasty a pair of Safety in this leauge could be. For in three to five years when both Taylor and Landry had plenty of experience the Redskins defense was going to be beyond nasty.

To my dearest ROC, the founder and author of this wonderful list. I am writing you so that I may tell you that the picture you used for #44 Alyson Michalka is not a picture of Alyson Michalka at all but instead a picture of her younger sister and bandmate Amanda Joy Michalka. I request you change the picture to that of the real number 44 Alyson Michalka posthaste or I will seek revenge posthaste. Also, if you do not change the picture posthaste I will be forced to make another post using the word posthaste a bunch of times. Sincerly yours, Hugar

50. Cute but shouldn't be in the top 50. 49. She is hot. I agree in her being in this position. Bad picture though 48. Eww... NO NOO NO take her away from me.

A very good episode tonight that I quite enjoyed. Glad to see Rachel Bilson as she is effin' Hot. Also the ending, while expected almost the whole season was still nicely done a had some shock effect.

Glad to leave you amazed.

BCS Standings are in and... #1 LSU with a .9802 #2 Oregon with a .9383 #3 Kansas with a .9094 #4 Oklahoma with a .8540 #5 Missouri with a .8096 A couple things I find interesting about the computer polls are that: * LSU is first in four of the six computer rankings and second in the two others. * Oregon has no first place computer votes and is third in four of the six computers(second in the other two) * Kansas out ranks Oregon on the computers receiving the two first that LSU didn't get. * Oklahoma's highest computer ranking has them seventh * Hawaii and its perfect record don't even appear on four of the computer's top 25 * Ohio State has one second computer vote and is no lower than sixth in any of the computer polls.

Every play is reviewed even when a coach doesn't use his alloted challenge on the play.

Honestly, have Michigan and Appalachian State play ten weeks in a row? How many times do you think Appalachian State would win? Ap. State won that one time out of ten or heck if you want to give Ap. State some credit they won that one out of five. You want to know why Michigan is in the top 25? Because the Voters voted them there? If you have such a big problem with it than why don't you dedicate your life to becoming one of the voters so you can ban Michigan from the top 25. Did the voters vote for Appalachian State, yeah, until they lost. But Ap. State beat a number five ranked team so the deserve a spot in the top 25 right or Michigan deserves to banned from the top 25? Well lets take a look at this... USC was number two when the lost to FBS Stanford. Did Standford even get one vote for the following week? NO THE DIDN'T. Did you complain? Did you say they deserved it?

Lets look at the Pac-10 Arizona- No one decent Arizona State- No one decent California- Tennessee Oregon- Michigan Oregon State- Cincinnati Stanford- No one decent UCLA- No one decent USC- Nebraska Washington- Boise State, Ohio State, Hawaii(Can someone tell me why they have 13 games scheduled?) Washington State- Wisconsin Hmm so 9/12 SEC teams play ranked opponents so that is 75% while Pac-10 have 6/10 playing ranked teams which is 60% You proved your point DMN.

Alabama- Florida State Arkansas- We don't really like them so they don't count Auburn- Kansas State, South Florida Florida- Florida State Georgia- Georgia Tech Kentucky- Louisville LSU- Virgina Tech Ole Miss- Missouri Mississippi State- They are Mississippi State... They need all the wins they can get. South Carolina- Clemson Tennessee- California Vanderbilt- They also need all the wins they can get Nope SEC doesn't play anyone... oh wait... Also let us mention that playing at an elite program earns you a lot of dollars that can pay for your schools sports program so smaller schools want to play elite schools so that they can earn that money.

Damn it, why is cwtv.com not having the show on thier website? They have Gossip Girl Episodes but no Reaper. What am I to do as I couldn't find it on youtube either.

My Top Five for everyone who cares... 1. LSU 2. Ohio State 3. California(Will lose to USC though) 4. BC 5. South Florida

All together, they have been the best team. But it's not a system where you say, hey you've been good for these years so you get a title berth. 06/07 - Florida d. Ohio State. - USC would have been in that game and unargued by many, but they lost a second game against UCLA, no berth. 05/06 - Texas d. USC 04/05 - USC d. OU 03/04 - LSU d. OU (I've stated why this was the correct decision) 02/03 - OSU d. Miami - USC was beat by WSU so they got the Rose Bowl berth while OSU and Miami were undefeated. 01/02 - Miami d. Nebraska - USC wasn't best in the Pac-10, Oregon was and were left out to Nebraska. Controversial year, but the BCS computer rankings don't take into account the time in which you lose, unlike the human polls. Since the BCS has been tweaked so this year isn't indicative of what the system currently is. There are your last six seasons and the only year they had an argument was the LSU/OU championship year, where I give the best and clear reason why they made the right decision.

Wow, just wow. What a day of college football. USC loses to Stanford... Notre Dame Wins... LSU wins a game and Les Miles proves that he is the craziest coach on the planet. Just wow.

So I finally watched the first episode thanks to NBC.com(if you haven't seen it go watch it!) I have to say this show is by far probably one of the best new show of the season. Brilliant and with great comedic timing. Hopefully the next few episodes live up to the show so far.

Damn you Fox! Because of you my beloved city of New Orleans will never recover.

Jason David played awful. Almost made me wish Fred Thomas was still starting. Just plain awful.

I just wanted to start a celebration dance right here. My warrior is almost level twenty. What a glorious day it will be when my character's level starts with the number two but ends with a different number. This upcoming day will only be proceeded by greatness for when my character is in his thirties. How is everyone else doing in the world... of warcraft?

Well as soon as they fix the account creation page I shall make an account and join Venture Co. What is most of EWB Horde or Alliance? And what are some of your characters names so when I join the make them my friend.
