Wednesday Evening Podcast - 11-14-07

Cast: Galen Clavio, Rob Nagel, Warren Whisenant
Topics: The BCS picture from a couple of different angles; an analysis of the rather lame Heisman field; a breakdown of games in the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and elsewhere, including a closer look at the Oregon-Arizona matchup.

These are the guys running a third of the BCS system?!?!

So the new BCS rankings are out, and nothing too shocking: OSU, LSU, Oregon, Kansas, then Oklahoma. KU moves up to four because of it’s strong computer rankings …
Which made us think: Have you ever taken a look at some of the websites of the computer guys making up the rankings? It’s a bit frightening. [...]

No. 1 in the Big Ten, 3rd-to-last in the Southern Conference. Doh …

Remember that cute little Appalachian State team? The one that marched into the big house and beat up Michigan 34-32, a win that spurred the AP to allow non-division 1 teams to be voted in the top 25?
After losing two if their last four games, the Mountaineers may not even make the Division I-AA playoffs.
And [...]

Ok, we enjoy a catchy song as much as anyone …

And John Radcliff of AOL Fanhouse had us singing his stuff all day yesterday.
Monday we showed you John’s hilarious song about Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe. What we didn’t realize is John, with the editing help from Pete Holiday, did one of these every week. Here’s the collection. We enjoy the Phil Fulmer/donut song, and the [...]

The Games of the week

2-3-1 is not a fantastic week, but at least I have recovered from the IU loss, but not so much from the UB win. I will get to this in a bit. It is now apparent that the “old” IU football team has shown up and there is now zero predictability with this team. I [...]

Happy Action Fun Time returns

You can expect to find some of the best coverage of NCAA hoops in SBA right here on The Meaningful Collateral, [...]

Mike Babcock, you’re on notice

Okay, this has spread like wildfire throughout SBA today, but it’s worth re-posting here. Some Michigan fan from the northern part of the state decides to burn his daughter’s favorite UM hat in protest of the Wolverines’ season-opening loss. Bonus points for getting the little girl to sob like a kitten in the background.

The Sunday Morning 3rd Down Back - Week 3

Greetings from the beautiful Wasatch Front and welcome to my first non-self-promotional post here on The Meaningful Collateral. While my head is dominated by Major League Soccer (since it’s in that realm that I earn my daily wage), come September and the following months my heart is ruled by college football, so that’s what my [...]

The NCAA Pillow Fight of the Week

I never thought in my heart of hearts that I would get to say this. My pillow fight of the week in college football is……………… 0-2 Notre Dame @ 0-2 Michigan. It is not a goal that I personally achieved, a deadline I met, or anything significant that I did. What this is, however, is [...]
