As bad as Smith can be he's still a much better option than Dilfer. Worst thing in all of this is the Patriots have the Niners' 1st Round pick in 2008.

AL Most Valuable Player 1. Alex Rodriguez 2. Magglio Ordonez 3. Ichiro Suzuki 4. David Ortiz 5. Vladimir Guerrero 6. Carlos Pena 7. Victor Martinez 8. Grady Sizemore 9. Jorge Posada 10. Curtis Granderson NL Most Valuable Player 1. David Wright 2. Matt Holliday 3. Albert Pujols 4. Hanley Ramirez 5. Miguel Cabrera 6. Prince Fielder 7. Chipper Jones 8. Chase Utley 9. Jimmy Rollins 10. Ryan Howard AL Cy Young 1. C.C. Sabathia 2. Josh Beckett 3. Johan Santana NL Cy Young 1. Jake Peavy 2. Brandon Webb 3. John Smoltz AL Rookie of the Year 1. Jeremy Guthrie 2. Dustin Pedroia 3. Brian Bannister NL Rookie of the Year 1. Troy Tulowitzki 2. Ryan Braun 3. Hunter Pence Don't care about the manager awards.

Before I get to my awards picks, here's my quick rundown of what I want out of this postseason. 1. No Red Sox/Yankees ALCS. Do I need to explain? 2. No Rockies/D-Backs NLCS. Do I need to explain? 3. D-Backs don't win the World Series. We have one 90's expansion team with two world championships already, we don't need another. 4. Indians win the ALCS. Besides the Giants, there are no teams in baseball that I would rather see less in a World Series than the Red Sox, Yankees, and Angels. The second the Indians are eliminated is the second I tune out from the postseason. My gut feeling is we get another Yankees/D-Backs World Series with the Yankees prevailing this time. Finally Yankees' fans many years of suffering will be over! On to the awards. I should note that when I post my player rankings for the year there may be some differences from my awards but mainly because I throw this together pretty quick. Last year I had C.C. Sabathia as 3rd for A.L. Cy Young but by the time I did the rankings for starting pitchers I had Sabathia about 5th or 6th. Also I'm going to be lazy and not bother with typing out players stats. You know where to find them anyways. N.L. MVP This was a wide open race all year with no one ever seeming to take a real strangle hold on the spot as favorite. The media has narrowed it down to Matt Holliday, Jimmy Rollins, and Prince Fielder but my choice is David Wright as he was just a tad better across the board. Any writer's who held out until the last second to submit their ballots probably filled in Holliday's name at #1 today and his late season surge I think will make him a PAC (Pefectly Acceptable Choice) but it's a shame that Wright is unlikely to finish better than 4th and the Mets' collapse has completely overshadowed his amazing season. Fielder would be a pretty uninspiring choice and Rollins would be almost on the level of Justin Morneau winning the A.L. MVP last year. 1. 2. Matt Holliday, Rockies 3. Albert Pujols, Cardinals 4. Hanley Ramirez, Marlins 5. Miguel Cabrera, Marlins 6. Prince Fielder, Brewers 7. Chipper Jones, Braves 8. Chase Utley, Phillies 9. Jimmy Rollins, Phillies 10. Ryan Howard, Phillies N.L. Cy Young This and A.L. MVP are by far the easiest choices. Hopefully no idiot writers will decide to penalize Jake Peavy for lack of clutchiness on the mound last night as he was far and away the best pitcher in the N.L. and should be the unanimous winner. 2nd place was also very easy but 3rd place proved very difficult to decide but finally went with John Smoltz over Aaron Harang, subject to change of course when I do the pitcher rankings. 1. 2. Brandon Webb, Diamondbacks 3. John Smoltz, Braves N.L. Rookie of the Year This will be my most questionable choice. ROY's I think can be very tough to choose because you are dealing with candidates who some played the whole season and others who were midseason call ups. Ryan Braun was an absolute force at the plate but he's also hacker (29 BB/112 SO) and a liabiltiy defensively. So I decided to go with Troy Tulowitzki, who was with the Rockies the whole season, giving them Gold Glover caliber defense at shortstop and by the end of the year had put up some strong offensive numbers. 1. 2. Ryan Braun, Brewers 3. Hunter Pence, Astros A.L. MVP Magglio Ordonez had a shockingly good rebound year and hung tough for a very long time in this race but by the end of the year he couldn't stick with A-Rod. All have to say about my ballot is, seriously what the fuck happened to Carlos Pena this year? Biggest fluke ever or best late bloomer ever? 1. 2. Magglio Ordonez, Tigers 3. Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners 4. David Ortiz, Red Sox 5. Vladmir Guerrero, Angles 6. Carlos Pena, Devil Rays 7. Victor Martinez, Indians 8. Grady Sizemore, Indians 9. Jorge Posada, Yankees 10. Curtis Granderson, Tigers A.L. Cy Young Josh Beckett is going to win the writer's award. There was so much hand wringing and phony outrage by the baseball writer's last year about there being no 20 game winners in either league that anyone who won 20 games this season with an ERA under 4 is going to win the award. Not to say Beckett will be a bad choice, just the wrong choice. 1. 2. Josh Beckett, Red Sox 3. Johan Santana, Twins A.L. Rookie of the Year Toughest pick of them all. Jeremy Guthrie has no shot at all at the writer's award due to having only a 7-5 record but he's my pick here in pretty much a coin flip over Dustin Pedroia. Hell I couldn't even find a picture of 2007 baseball card for Guthrie. 1. Jeremy Guthrie, Orioles 2. Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox 3. Brian Bannister, Royals

Television note for this week is after three straight weeks of Michigan being nationally televised at the 3:30/12:30 slot, ESABCPN has five regional games in that slot with USC/Washington getting national coverage in the primetime slot. This will be the second week of their "reverse mirror" coverage where one of the regional games will be available on ESPN. What is strange is that Cal/Oregon will not be one of the reverse mirror games even though it is the biggest game of the week, not that I want Cal to get more national coverage. The primary reverse mirror game will be Michigan State/Wisconsin while those of you who get that game on ABC will get Clemson/Georgia Tech on ESPN. So looks like if you don't live on the west coast you ain't getting Cal/Oregon. I'll post the coverage map when it is available. With the Harris Poll out this week we're getting closer to the first BCS rankings. So far four of the six computer rankings are public with Anderson-Hester being released next week, then Wolfe being the last hold out until the BCS rankings are released on October 14th. So right now per collegebcs.com here is the BCS Top 14 with the four computer rankings and the two human polls. Note three of the four computer rankings have LSU #1 with only Sagarin ranking USC #1. 1) LSU 2) USC 3) Florida 4) Oklahoma 5) Ohio State 6) West Virginia 7) Texas 8) California 9) Wisconsin 10) Boston College 11) Oregon 12) Clemson 13) Rutgers 14) Kentucky Network/Basic Cable Schedule THURSDAY Southern Miss at Boise State, 7:30/4:30 PM, ESPN FRIDAY #5 West Virginia at #18 South Florida, 8:00/5:00 PM, ESPN2 SATURDAY Notre Dame at Purdue, Noon/9:00 AM, ESPN #2 LSU at Tulane, Noon/9:00 AM, ESPN2 Baylor at Texas A&M, 12:30 PM/9:30 AM, Versus #3 Oklahoma at Colorado, 1:30 PM/10:30 AM, FSN Michigan State at #9 Wisconsin, 3:30/12:30 PM, ABC/ESPN* #13 Clemson at Georgia Tech, 3:30/12:30 PM, ABC/ESPN* #6 California at #11 Oregon, 3:30/12:30 PM, ABC* Kansas State at #7 Texas, 3:30/12:30 PM, ABC* Maryland at #10 Rutgers, 3:3/12:30 PM ABC* Florida State vs. #22 Alabama, 5:00/2:00 PM, CBS UCLA at Oregon State, 6:30/3:30 PM, FSN #1 USC at Washington, 8:00/5:00 PM, ABC Auburn at #4 Florida, 8:00/5:00 PM, ESPN #8 Ohio State at Minnesota, 8:00/5:00 PM, ESPN2 #24 Cincinnati at San Diego State, 10:00/7:00 PM, Versus Digital Cable/Satellite/Gameplan Schedule SATURDAY Temple at Army, Noon/9:00 AM, ESPNU #21 Penn State at Illinois, Noon/9:00 AM, BTN* Indiana at Iowa, Noon/9:00 AM, BTN* Michigan at Northwestern, Noon/9:00 AM, BTN* North Carolina at #17 Virgnia Tech, Noon/9:00 AM, LFS*/GP Akron at Connecticut, Noon/9:00 AM, GP Northern Illinois at Central Michigan, Noon/9:00 AM, GP Mississippi State at #16 South Carolina, 12:30 PM/9:30 AM, LFS*/GP Air Force at Navy, 1:00 PM/10:00 AM, CSTV Florida Atlantic at #14 Kentucky, 1:00 PM/10:00 AM, GP Utah State at Utah, 3:00 PM/Noon, Mtn.

Before I get to the football, this week I go on baseball overdrive with the Bored's 2007 MLB Awards and Bored's 2007 MLB Player Rankings. Both are great if you were in a coma since April which I wish I was instead of being subjected to the A's season. I didn't end up having work yesterday after all so I was able to be lazy and gorge myself on college football all day after all but the Cal/Oregon game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't feel like doing an unfunny Wrap Up entry. Cal is now a legit Top 3 team which means there is no God. As for my Pointless Top 25, with so many top teams losing this weekend it is pretty much impossible not to give some 1 loss teams a decent ranking. But that being said I stil think the entire Top 10 should only be unbeaten teams, even though that is proving very difficult. Again don't even bother reading it. 1. LSU 2. USC 3. Fuck! 4. Ohio State 5. Kentucky 6. South Florida 7. Boston College 8. Wisconsin 9. Arizona State 10. Cincinnati 11. Oregon 12. South Carolina 13. Florida 14. Missouri 15. Georgia 16. Purdue 17. Oklahoma 18. Kansas 19. West Virginia 20. Kansas State 21. Illinois 22. Michigan State 23. Texas 24. Hawaii 25. Connecticut

Well fortunately Cal has a brutal in conference road schedule this year with the the most obvious one being Arizona State, who granted hasn't played that tough of a schedule but has bludgeoned to death everyone in their path so far. That'll be the second half a pontentially dangerous back-to-back road trip preceded by UCLA. And hey UW in November in Seattle could be landmine. The depressing thing for me is even if Cal loses to USC they would still have a great shot at the Rose Bowl which is almost, on some level, worse than them getting to play for the national title. So really I have to root for two losses or for USC to get upset at some point and beat Cal to send the Trojans to Pasadena.

Another three deadline week. Urban Warfare is on the chopping block after not submitting picks last week, although I did seem him lurking yesterday so he hasn't left the board. He needs to submit picks by the first deadline and I'm pre-assigning Cartman's picks as replacements. Smues' picks will be used for Penn State this week. Week 5 Deadlines Thursday, September 27th, 7:30/4:30 PM EST -Lose out on Thursday game Friday, September 28th, 8:00/5:00 PM EST -Lose out on Friday game Saturday, September 29th, Noon EST/9:00 AM PST -Replacement picks Week 5 Match-ups #1 Oklahoma (Secret Agent, 4-0) vs. #2 South Carolina* (Cuban Linx, 4-0) - GAME OF THE WEEK #3 Texas* PM (UTBroward, 4-0) vs. San Diego State* PM (the walkin' dude, 2-2) #4 Virginia* (Edwin MacPhisto, 3-1) vs. Penn State* (Smues*, 2-2) #5 Oregon (nogoodnick, 3-1) vs. UTEP* (Angel Grace Blue, 0-4) #6 Syracuse* (CanadianChris, 3-1) vs. Miami of Ohio* PM (Hawk 34, 3-1) #7 N.C.

State Michigan State at Wisconsin California at Oregon UNLV at Nevada Alabama vs. Florida State UCLA at Oregon State BYU at New Mexico Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the California/Oregon game? Tiebreak #2: How many rushing yards will Wisconsin's P.J. Hill have against Michigan State?

It'll be the first one game playoff of the decade and it'll be TBS' first ever non-Braves game. And go Padres. The idea of a possible Rockies/D-Backs NLCS just seems wrong.

Speaking of MJ, does he even visit this board anymore?

New AP and Coaches Polls LSU passes USC in the AP by two points. In the great scheme of things it doesn't mean anything since the AP isn't involved with the BCS. The biggest news I think is Florida only dropping to #7 in the Coaches which means if they can some how upset LSU they would be right back in the BCS Title Game hunt. Do have to wait and see where the drop in the Harris Poll though. Also Georgia is seven spots ahead of South Carolina in the Coaches' Poll. Man the other coaches really hate Spurrier.

Ugly, ugly week, especially for me. Of the 14 Games to Make Picks For, 8 of them were "upsets" and results in some very low scores across the board. So for the second straight week the Top 10 almost gets completely redone. The big winners this week are King and Hawk 34 as they make huge jumps back into the Top 10 while nogoodnick makes a big drop out of the Top 10 as the Pac-8 is running away with worst conference honors right now. No one loss teams are above the two remaining unbeatens but this time around we do have a couple of 3-2 teams above 4-1 teams and which will lead to much CONTROVERSY~. Also a 4-1 team didn't even receive a "vote"!? Madness! But of course since Cuban Linx has now knocked off two straight opponents who were #1 at the time he obviously is going to be #1. Right? Right? Uh oh...*runs away from angry Australians* 1. Texas - UTBroward 3.15 2. South Carolina - Cuban Linx 3.4 3. Florida State - King 4.1 4. Miami of Ohio - Hawk 34 4.45 5. LSU - teke184 5.0 6.

Washington is a much better team than Tulane who had no business even making LSU sweat for a half. That being said I thought LSU was #1 going into the week and USC hasn't done enough to warrant me thinking otherwise.

Top 10 Guess 1. USC 2. LSU 3. California (shoot me) 4. Ohio State 5. Wisconsin 6. Kentucky 7. Boston College 8. South Florida 9. South Carolina 10. Oklahoma Georgia or Virginia Tech could end up #10 as well. I'm also going under the assumption people will remember South Carolina beat Georgia on the road but that might be a big assumption since they didn't last week.

They get Wisconsin at home. They have as relastic a shot as anyone at this point to run the table. Hell if Oklahoma takes care of Texas next week they still have a shot. Nevermind, USC does put it away after the interception is overturned.

That's five Top 10 teams down now. And USC still doesn't put Washington away.

Oregon State was up 14-12 on UCLA early in the 4th and then turned the ball over three times in less than three minutes, including back-to-back kick offs, and UCLA is now up 33-14. Ouch. I'm not surprised at all that Washington is giving USC a game. This just had the smell of a game that USC will have to sweat out until the end. And really after today should anyone be surprised by anything now?

And this is what you get for never being late before. I better see the same strictness applied to everyone else, cause your no point crap for a 30 minute late deadline is costing me and there wasn't a damn soul on these boards that thought Boise state was losing that game. Let the picks decide the game, not some no point for being 30 minutes late. Are you for real or just being a dick? Seriously first you lie about when you submitted the picks, then you lie about when the game actually kicked off, and now expect me to some exception for you? You are the first person to ever complain about this in the 3+ years of the contest. The deadlines are there for a reason. Back in Week 3 AboveAverage484 submitted his picks shortly after the Thursday game kicked off that week and he didn't whine about losing a point, he knew he was late. Would it be fair to Cuban Linx for me to suddenly change the rules for you? Hell you had an advantage on him because you could see his picks and see what his tiebreak guess was. You need to get over this.

Might as well call this SEC Week as the three biggest games are all in that conference while the rest of the schedule is pretty bleak in terms of big time games. The Thursday game is a fairly interesting match-up between former powerhouses that rarely play each other and I suppose Washington/UCLA has serious Sun Bowl implications for those of you looking to visit El Paso this holiday season. The ABC primetime slot is regional this week with two terrible match-ups and I'll post the coverage map when it becomes available.

As King pointed out the deadline was 4:30 PM PST but also I got home from work before 5:00 PM, and the game had already started. AOL Fahouse blog has Boise State scoring a touchdown at 7:50 PM EST You were late.

You've got to be shitting me. Oregon fumbles it at the 1, goes out of the endzone, touchback. Replay pretty much confirms it, although these are Pac-10 officials so anything is possible but it looks like it's over. Call stands. Cal becomes a serious national title contender. Life sucks. Revenge soon.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Oregon driving deep in Cal territory and Dixon throws a pick. Only 2:20 left.

Oklahoma loses, Texas is going to lose, Rutgers looks like it's going to lose, Cal and Wisconsin tied in the 4th. Five AP Top 10 teams could go down today. FUCK, Oregon turns it over inside their own 20. No idea how much time is left as ABC's clock is stuck on 5:46. And Cal scores, 31-24.
