jones Top Ten - Final - 2011 Season
Ah, but to live life unapologetically, that’s the spirit, yes? To root out your cynicism and sow instead joy. To live life in the moment with nary a care for tomorrow. College football’s national championship comes tonight. Are we really going to ruin this grand occasion with our complaints and...
BCS Championship Game - Around SB Nation
I see you, Nick! Thanks to our own Nickel Rover for breaking down tonight's game below. I am excited to watch this game. No boycotting here. I think NR's soccer match comparison is a good one. I get the notion that a few other schools should have "gotten a chance" but I do think these two teams...
Previewing LSU vs. Bama: The Rematch
I think most of us are well aware that the BCS is a farce and an insult to college football in virtually every regard of its existence. It gives us meaningless games that divert College Football's profits into the hands of an elite class and then pretends that our system for choosing teams to play...
jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...
Who is Top Chef in College Station? Kevin Sumlin is about to find out.
The Aggies have perfected the art of bungling the simplest of tasks. These feats are legendary and well documented in Internet Halls of Fame. More difficult processes, such as hiring and firing head coaches, changing conferences, eradicating bat guano, etc. also befuddle the Aggies but in a much...
jones Top Ten - Week Fourteen - 2011
Well. Now that all the air has been sucked out of the room, I’d point out that a few football games not involving Alabama were actually played. Want to hear about them? Great! Enter the Honey Badger. Here’s a holiday tip for Nick Saban. Coach, during the busy Christmas party season always...
LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma State
Rematch? Want to toss this out as a way to get some discussion going because I am really ambivalent and want to see what everybody thinks. I hate the BCS. Hate it. BrickHorn is three years late with his manifesto on why a college football playoff is such a scourge but we'll soldier on until he...
Quick and dirty BCS update
USA Today poll apparently out per CNNSI. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/polls/coaches/ My projection on the 40 2nd place Alabama votes had them at points of 1397; actual appears to be 1399. My projection for 19 OSU 2nd place votes, 32 3rd place votes, and 8 4th place votes...
Adjusted Stats through 11/26/11
Adjusted stats and ratings have been updated through yesterday's games. LSU remains in the #1 spot of my EWP ratings with Alabama holding at #2. Stanford, Oregon, and Oklahoma State round out the Top 5 with the Sooners just behind the Cowboys. Texas moves up to #18 with the dramatic win over A&M....
jones Top Ten - Week Thirteen - 2011
If you had been with Lewis and Clark, Oregon never would have become a state. My wife the navigator does not generally put up with my smart-assery and this was no exception. If you had been making the turns for them, they would have ended up in New Orleans. The ubiquity of the GPS has eliminated...
