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...
Mike Gundy Gets A Pay Raise
Mike Gundy is about to become the third highest-paid coach in the Big 12. Gundy has agreed to an eight-year extention that will boost his yearly take to just over $3.7 million. The new contract runs through 2019. Right now only four D-1 football coaches make $4 million or more: Mack Brown ($5.19...
Fiesta Bowl Open Thread: Stanford vs Okie State
In 2012, all open game threads will officially begin in the 2nd quarter to prevent idiots from taking it over in the first. Andrew Luck, Shitbird, Old Man Weeden, Illin' Matt Millen ... this one has potential. Gundy has a few extra squirts of hair gel, each strand vertically aligned in symmetry by...
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...
How The Coaches Voted
Just click on the coach and see who (and where) he voted teams. As expected, the SEC coaches held together. Nick Saban had Oklahoma State 4th behind Stanford. Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads had the Cowboys as #2 -- Missouri's Gary Pinkel gave the league a nice parting gift by putting Oklahoma State...
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...
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...
Big 12 Games Preview – Bedlam and Baptists
Time for the weekly look at the upcoming Big 12 games based on ratings and adjusted stats to date. As always, keep in mind that personnel matchups, coaching decisions, injuries, etc. will not play into the numerical predictions and are all important information that will still need to be...
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...
