BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.7 (Won't Get Fooled Again Edition)
We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us onSit in judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.6 (Irresistible Edition)
Since the ilk of OU absolutely refuse to be persuaded by reason, I'll have to counter with an irresistible force - Trashy 80's music videos with lyrics that were written by Dr. Sbaitso and the MS Word Thesaurus. To you, OU and punditry, this is Simply Irresistible. How can it be permissible...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.5 (Times They are A-Changin' Edition)
"Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roamAnd admit that the watersAround you have grownAnd accept it that soonYou'll be drenched to the bone.If your time to youIs worth savin'Then you better start swimmin'Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'." At this...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.4
Not a whole lot is shaking out in the polls this week, at least as far as my pet project is concerned. Even our old friend Billingsley is merely tied for most throwouts this week (with Anderson and Hester, the poll that Huckleberry from BC says was created to prove Washington was better than Miami...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.3
Sigh... Late again. -HB Last week I said the polls were pointing to a close game in Jacksonville and a Texas win in Lubbock, and I was wrong both times, though just barely on the latter. Bring it on, Red Raider internet users (technical major graduates), but I'm saying Texas played like crap and...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.2
Not late this time, but not exactly early. -HB Tomorrow looks like a divisional-champion elimination round for the SEC East and the Big 12 South. Texas could sneak in despite a loss to Tech, but it would require Tech falling to both OSU and OU (or screwing themselves against Baylor). Georgia,...
BCS Breakdown 2008 V1.1
Due to an unforseen dump taken on me by some superiors, this is just a little late. I'll have this week's BCS Breakdown up before the end of the week, and we'll be on schedule from there. -HB It's been a long wait for some of you, but I've finally returned with my spreadsheet to make shutting off...
BCS Breakdown: 2007 Final Poll
Horn Brain checks in with his weekly look at the BCS.I only wish the BCS was delivered with a press conference, where some poor shlub had to go out and face the world, read off the top 10 or 15 teams, and then answer questions based on info from the polls and from the computer operators. In my...
BCS Breakdown: 2007 Week 7
Resident math guru Horn Brain checks in with the latest numbercentric look at the BCS.There are five stages of grief:Denial: We were the better team, right? We were coming back in the 4th, and we just needed a half-yard on that 3rd down. We were robbed! (This was a very, very short stage)Anger:...
