When it comes to Joe, the bandwagon mentality is in full blast. And yet you're the one who keeps bringing up Joe, even though you hate him so much. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but compared to your hate fest of him, the blind devoted fanboy tendecies have been small in comparsion. We know you hate Joe. We know you love Randy Orton. We know you think Orton can kill Joe. We know, and we don't give a shit.

Then you might want to speak to Louisville, and that 4 seed they got last year. Not to mention the 2 #1 seeds the ACC got last year...And so on and so on. Conference RPI is used in seeding to some respect. (It's also used for At-Large Bids as well) And Memphis is going to be a victim of this in March, just watch.

And yet, if you ask 100 of us, including yourself, 99 of us would rather watch that big sack of goo kill something, than Randy Orton kill himself. And that's saying something

Wake Forest goes down. Wake Forest loses to DePaul, in Winston-Salem 84-81. Welcome to the New Big East, Indeed. In other news, Flordia Atlantic defeated Central Florida, sending Central Florida's RPI down 63 points to 171. Ironically though C-USA is 18th Place now.

A few explanations. First, I forgot to put the link up, post edited ASAP. The Teams, you see there, are the best teams in their conference at this point. And as for CUSA's raking. Sure, they have Memphis, Houston, and UAB that are good, but the other 2/3rds, of the conference is stinking it up, and BADLY according to this. For those who are lazy, here are the RPI numbers. Tier 1 (1-50) Memphis: 3 Houston: 12 Tier 2 (51 - 100) UAB: 87 Tier 3 (101 - 150) Central Florida: 108 Tier 4 (151 - 200): No one is here Tier 5 (201 - 250) Tulsa: 225 Tier 6/Bottom Tier/Shit Tier (251 - 333) Rice: 256 Tulane: 271 Marshall: 273 SMU: 290 East Carolina: 292 Southern Miss: 294 UTEP: 298 And there is your story. UTEP's number is escpecially alarming, but it would've improved if their two best players didn't get invovled in fight, which got one of them booted off the team, and the other injured. So yeah....The new CUSA is going to reach new levels of suck, according to the RPI Rankings.

And Lou Theze is turning in his Grave.

And now in its early form. Lets take a look at some RPI Rankings for Conference. These are from this Site. 1 Big Ten 0.6034 61 20 0.7531 Ohio State 2 Big East 0.5783 83 30 0.7345 Connecticut 3 ACC 0.5750 68 17 0.8000 Duke 4 Missouri Valley 0.5726 41 17 0.7069 Missouri State 5 SEC 0.5656 62 20 0.7561 Florida 6 Colonial Athletic 0.5351 38 24 0.6129 UNC Wilmington 7 Atlantic 10 0.5232 60 37 0.6186 George Washington 8 Western Athletic 0.5154 30 29 0.5085 Nevada 9 Pac 10 0.5131 45 21 0.6818 Washington 10 Big XII 0.5104 59 22 0.7284 Texas A&M 11 Sun Belt 0.5080 29 32 0.4754 South Alabama 12 West Coast 0.5078 26 30 0.4643 Gonzaga 13 MAAC 0.5075 22 27 0.4490 Iona 14 Mid-American 0.5038 32 26 0.5517 Northern Illinois 15 Mountain West 0.4981 34 27 0.5574 Colorado State 16 Patriot League 0.4861 25 36 0.4098 Bucknell 17 Horizon League 0.4801 22 32 0.4074 Wright St 18 Ivy League 0.4760 25 28 0.4717 Columbia 19 Conference USA 0.4744 35 36 0.4930 Memphis 20 Southern 0.4684 22 44 0.3333 Davidson 21 Big West 0.4634 18 29 0.3830 UC Irvine 22 Southland 0.4615 19 36 0.3455 Southeastern Louisiana 23 Big Sky 0.4586 25 29 0.4630 Montana 24 Northeast 0.4562 23 40 0.3651 Fairleigh Dickinson 25 Big South 0.4551 18 26 0.4091 Winthrop 26 Ohio Valley 0.4526 11 26 0.2973 Tennessee Tech 27 Mid Continent 0.4355 17 38 0.3091 Valparaiso 28 America East 0.4343 14 40 0.2593 Boston University 29 MEAC 0.4262 12 55 0.1791 Bethune Cookman 30 Independent 0.4126 12 56 0.1765 Utah Valley State 31 SWAC 0.3979 5 47 0.0962 Arkansas-Pine Bluff 32 Atlantic Sun 0.3888 10 26 0.2778 Kennesaw State The usual suspects are up top here. The Big East, ACC, and Big Ten are the big 3 here, above eveyone else. I think the biggest surprises here are these. - The Missouri Valley in 4th Place in the Moment - The Colonial in 6th Place So Far. - The WAC is still up in the Top 10, even with all of the Texas Schools gone. - The Big XII is 10th Place so far - The Pac 10th is 9th. - Conference USA is 19th?!?!? And I'm sure there are some other things out there, that should take someone by surprise.

I'd be shocked if he didn't. And I have to admit, that last match was really enjoyable. The ultimate payoff would be TBS running in and costing Hunter his match.

*sighs* Shelton loses again. They didn't even give it the Shawn Finish. Now...this crap...More Vince and crappy acting by a Diva...

What if he jobs by Michaels-ference? That would make sense. What are the odds the WWE will do this? (I hope I eat crow in this siuation)

This really is Shelton's last chance, IMO. If he wins, there may be a future for him in the WWE. If he jobs, then he needs to head down to Orlando, ASAP.

This Segment went from "What the Fuck is this shit?" to "What the Fuck? Is Cena getting over again?" Too bad this has been done...4201 times before

Morrison only flails his arms around? What the hell? His Stats in this young season say otherwise PPG: 29.0 Personal fouls PG: 1.7 RPG: 6.0 BPG: 0.6 APG: 1.6 TOPG: 2.3 Going from these stats, he's a great scorer, a good rebound man, and can block on occasion. He wouldn't have these stats if he just did what you said. So that point is kinda moot. Now lets post JJ Redick's stats so that they both in everyone's faces PPG: 22.9 Personal Fouls PG: 1.5 RPG: 1.8 BPG: 0.0 APG: 2.4 TOPG: 2.4 Now let this be know, this doesn't make Morrison a better player. But it does make it comparable. Just by the stats, and not a cocksucking affair like you have it to be.

Okay, lets get one thing straight here. - Adam Morrison may not be that good, this we can agree on. - JJ Redick is not that good, not at all. Saying a statement like that is a total fallacy. JJ Redick is not head and shoulders above the rest of College Basketball, and you know it. He may be the best shooter, but as a point guard (play calling, setting screens, passing the ball effectivly) there are still better than he is. So lets not start the total blowjob of JJ Redick, please?

Somebody send this shit to Wrestlecrap. Methinks we may have a late nomination for the gooker award.

Good point. Edited for Accuracy.

And another ranked team is downed. Indiana "We haven't done shit since Larry Bird" State takes down the Indiana "Mike Davis is going to find himself on the unemployment line" Hoosiers. In other news. St Joes beats Kansas as well. The Jayhawks fall to 3 - 4 on the year.

Someone needs to lose? My game to bet on and cash in on. Rutgers Vs. Arizona State in the Insight Bowl. Everyone is writing off Rutgers, and they really shouldn't. I'm expecting Rutgers to win, because they will be wanting to prove that they don't suck.

The Atlantic 10 has another good night as George Washington surges past Maryland, and everyone won, except Richmond. Who was playing in Freedom Hall, anyway. Tonight, it's St. Joes aganist Kansas. Go Hawks, and not the Choking Kind!

Here's my hope for this game. I hope the Rose Bowl takes its Revenge aganist Mack Brown, and USC sends the Longhorns home with a crushing defeat.

Not to be a prick or anything, but I have to do this. Seems like I called it. I had a feeling that something big was going to happen today. Not only just that, but this means this is the second time that Florida State has gone into the BCS with this amount of losses to its credit. Wasn't ACC expansion supposed to correct this? Now if you're a Big East Fan (like myself, and a few others on thos board) you're probably laughing your ass off on this one. Flordia State has not only beaten the Number 5 Team in the Nation, but they have embarrassed their own conference. A conference that Florida State Dominated, even though it has pretty much sucked for a good porition of the Half-Decade. Swafford went through all of that trouble to try to kill a fellow conference, to gain a whole fanbase who wants him to die, and has made Boston College a fucking Traitor to Eastern College Sports. All for a stupid ass Championship Game, that had its worse scenario played out, anyway. Karma is a fucking bitch, a fucking bitch indeed. Not only did the Big East have its Ranked Teams win out today, but it may have its Champion reach the Top 10, and will be ranked higher than the ACC BCS represenative, and may be ranked higher than the SEC Rep as well (another conference that would love to see the Big East roll over and Die). All I have to say is, congratulations ACC, you have earned every single second of this.

Is it safe to have the Funeral for the Pac 10, now? Because Arizona just lost to Houston.

How did Mack even cry last year? All he said was "It'd be a shame for these kids not to play in the BCS." He didn't twist anyone's arm. He didn't cry. He didn't beg. He didn't yell. He didn't scream. Everyone blew it out of proportion. Dama...I'm going to break this down one more time for you. Mack Brown for a whole fucking week, cried, rallied, bitched and whined all over the nation (concluding on ESPN) so that his team could get Into the Rose Bowl over the more deserving Golden Bears (and I am going to get into this later), who had a terrific season themselves. What happened that Sunday was a complete and total miscarrage of justice. By Texas getting into the Rose Bowl it did this. - It cheapened the Rose Bow - It cheapened the BCS - It totally invalidated Cal's Season - It disgraced College Football, which has been a running theme for 7 Years since the BCS started. It also set a very nasty precedent. You too can earn 14 million dollars if you cry hard enough. Not convinced. Okay...Then lets go to the collusion part of this. Cal was Ranked 4, Texas was Ranked 5. Cal had a Game on Saturday, Texas was dormant. Cal Wins Game, Cal moves down, and gets stuck in the Fucking Holiday Bowl. How is this possible. Because Coaches voted Cal down. Some of them were ranking them 8, but Cal won, and you're not supposed to vote down. Plus the Big 12 had 7 Coaches voting, can you make the connection here. I know I can, something was rotten in Demark, and everyone knew it. Not to mention that you're not supposed to base voting on the margin of victory anymore, because it's simply not fair, and had Mack Brown just kept quiet, then Cal would've been in the Rose Bowl like they should've. Now before you get into the arguement about how Cal lost the Holiday Bowl (which they shouldn't have), that doesn't matter. The Reason why? Ladies and Gentleman for the 567th Time, which Dama doesn't seem to get. Bowl Bids are Based on Regular Season Performance Bowl Bids are Based on Regular Season Performance Bowl Bids are Based on Regular Season Performance Bowl Bids are Based on Regular Season Performance Bowl Bids are Based on Regular Season Performance Now that we have that out of the way. Lets get into said performance shall we? Cal Goes 10 - 1 (7 -1 in Pac 10 Play) Finishes 2nd in the Conference Ranked 4th in the all of the Polls Only loss comes to number 1 Team in the Nation by 3 points, with the game decided on the last play. Texas Goes 10 - 1 (7 - 1 in Big 12 Play) Finishes 2nd in Big 12 South, and the Big 12 Overall Ranked 5th in all of the Polls Only Loss comes to number 2 Team in the Nation by 20+ Points, with the game being over on the kickoff, as they never scored. Present this information to any unbiased person, and ask them who should be in the Rose Bowl? It wouldn't be Texas. And that's the reason why people hate Texas, and hate Mack Brown. And Sports wise it's a pretty good reason. And no, California losing the Holiday Bowl doesn't validate your arguement, so stop using it.

Well, if anyone else cares, there are two big games on ESPN. If I didn't have Marital Arts today I would be glued to the TV, and not for football.

I never said it was an upset, and after watching that game, it wasn't. However, there is one other factor to this that may shock people. Kansas has lost only 8 games out of the past 100+ at the Allen Fieldhouse. So Kansas losing there is always surprise at this point. As for Bucknell...I wouldn't be surprised by this team anymore. They have gotten everyone back from the Team that beat Pittsburgh and Kansas, so Bucknell deserves some respect this year.
