As always there is some non-sense to the polls. Lets not even try to figure it out this week. Although, I gotta say... this late in the season polls should make more sense and even after years of watching the polls I can't figure out why late in the season they can have almost as much hubba-baloo as the pre-season polls.
Given a choice I wish we'd end up with six un-beatens at seasons end just to help push the issue of a playoff system. We could come close...technically we could end up with five un-beatens all claiming a right to the title game. But cries from Boise and Houston won't even be acknowledged leaving only one team out of college football's "championship" game. Whoever that might be (my guess is OSU) they can go bawl in the corner with the 2004 Auburn team... and we'll all bawl with them...'cause, dang it, it just ain't fair.

I watched two games this weekend...both had really dismal, piss-poor play from Special Teams that were deciding factors. Game 1: BYU lost to TCU 38 -28. Of the five touchdowns TCU had three came on the heels of ST flubs by BYU (the other two were handed to them thansk to blown defensive coverage). Game 2: Georgia beat Florida 24 - 20. Although Georgia pulled out the win it was in no thanks whatsoever to their ST's. Florida had a kickoff return for a touchdown and another that nearly was (but was flagged back). Georgia missed two gimme field goals and the every punt was high-schoolish. Both the kicker and punter were pre-season All-Americans after stellar seasons in 2010 - how did that happen? And to boot...Georgia does not have a Special Teams coach. What? Really? That might be worth the investment.
