I've kept up a bit with the running commentary that Salty and Hurricane1 have been having in the ShoutBox, and that coupled with last night's VT/BC game as well as my most recent Top 25 compelled me to write a bit about this year's season.
They say that it's a 60 minute game, and you have to play all 60. If that's true, then BC should drop in the rankings like a DG's panties tonight at the Landing. They proved for 58 minutes that they were not as good as VT, a team that has many, many problems of their own (um, like say, offense?). So why should they (and Matt Ryan, who will inevitably be propped up as a legit Heisman candidate as a result of the final two drives) by rewarded by anyone for that performance? I watched the entire game. BC playing LSU or Florida would result in a game so lopsided it would make Tara Reid's first boob job look like it was performed by God himself (which I suppose would make actually make it her second boob job performed by God, why did he have to screw up the first time? Omnipotent, my ass.).
My Top 25 this week is unabashedly homerific. I have UF at number 1, why? Because when I look at putting UF against any other team on a neutral bowl site, I believe that UF will win. This comes from watching games, not from watching scoreboards. It also obviously comes from my subjective point of view, but until you bitches start paying me to be objective, screw off. But in the end, in this wacky season where upsets abound, I see no reason to reward teams like BC, Hawaii, and OSU who after watching them (which OSU is the only one who I haven't paid close attention to for an entire game, only snippets) I realized were not very good at all.
Of course, we'll never really know the answers to the head-to-head hypotheticals, just as we'll never know exactly how much semen will be pumped from Britney's lifeless body (I mean, c'mon, you'd think somebody over there will have a graduated cylinder, but noooooo, there will be "privacy concerns"). That being the case, the more arguments the better- and if anyone can watch the game last night and tell me with a straight face that BC deserves to be #2 because they should expect to beat all the teams ranked beneath them, I'll call that person "Jeff" for the rest of his/her life.
Jeff's a fuckin' liar, Timmy!
