Start the poll insanity: How on earth is Alabama not number one?

We get the fact there is nothing scientific about the polls.
We get the fact the system is utterly broken.
We get the fact the dinosaurs of the BCS conferences have no intention of giving the fans what they want: A playoff.
Fine. Whatever. We’d still would like to see the best team each week voted number one. [...]

Our preview of Wednesday’s stories … leave a tip in the jar - we got a fam to feed.

Everything you wanted to know about our site but was afraid to ask … well, ok: We’re afraid of us too.

Dear U. of Cincinnati: Go to Paul Brown Stadium, inherit to the problems

You may have noticed the University of Cincinnati’s suddenly resurgent football program. Yes, it got walloped at Oklahoma, but we think the Sooners will do that to a lot of teams. And with UC’s success comes the problem: Can they keep playing all its games in tiny Nippert Stadium?
Oh no: You’re not suggesting moving games [...]

Geography, football knowledge optional at Oklahoma

We get the fact most college football fans don’t respect the Big East. Fair enough.
But at least pay attention a little bit.
Berry Tramel, a writer for The Oklahoman, previewed today’s Oklahoma vs. Cincinnati game in Norman by asking the team what conference the Bearcats played in. The answers?
“Sam Bradford and Jon Cooper knew Big East. [...]

We got stories out the wazoo. When we figure out where that is, we’ll let you know.

Our Sean Bartel .. well, me … fills you in on Tuesday’s TMC stories.

The Gillette curse: Razors = evil

Remember this annoying Gillette ad with Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and soccer star Thierry Henry.

Started running in late 2007, even spawned a second commercial with Derek Jeter replacing Henry (we assume one shown just in the States).
So what’s happened since the original ad? All of them have suffered some severe career change.
Tiger Woods? Sure he [...]

Had no idea Norfolk State was BCS ready, Lexington

We know this: After Kentucky’s 27-2 whipping of them, Louisville stinks. UK? They might not be too bad, but the SEC is going to be a bitch.
But we also know this: A ton more fans could have seen the blowout had Kentucky not been so damn stubborn. Why? Here goes.
Back in late March, ESPN came [...]

Was Bobby Petrino THIS good, Steve Kragthorpe THIS bad, or Tom Jurich THIS clueless?

We realize coaches often leave programs in bad shape, and the next coach gets blamed for a lot of things he can’t control. But in the case of Louisville football, come on: Losing 27-2, at home, to your rival Kentucky? Seven losses in Steve Kragthorpe’s first 13 games, with a team that won the 2007 [...]

New AP Football poll, very similar crap

So we’re back to the same ol’ game:
Start the college pigskin season with some inaccurate polls based on assumptions, know said polls determines who will play for the mythical (yes, it’s still mythical until you have a playoff) championship game, and wait for excuses from pollsters/coaches on why anyone but a big school from a [...]
