I’ve noted my struggles with my current methodology in my Power Rankings that allows teams with multiple losses to be ranked higher than they ought to be based on having strong schedule strength and other data points. In particular Oklahoma troubles me. With 5 losses they come in at 11th in my ...

Since Urban Meyer took over as the head coach at the University of Florida he has used the biggest home games of the season as recruiting tools. This weekend is no different. Saturday’s game against Florida State might appear on paper to be a laugher, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. ...

I don’t want to kick a man when he is down, but after the revelation this week that a 4th player was arrested this month in Knoxville I have to ask the question: Was Al Davis right? Is Lane Kiffin a pathological liar incapable of telling the truth? When reporters question the Tennessee head ...

Here are our week 11 Power Rankings, with the methodology explained here.TCU moves up to 2nd overall based not only on their outstanding offensive and defensive rankings, but also their SOS which places them 22nd in the country, or five spots ahead of Florida. And yes, that is 4 loss Oklahoma in ...

Proving that old adage of “If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning" abundantly true, one time Florida commit Nu'Keese Richardson, along with teammate Mike Edwards, have been kicked off the Tennessee team per ESPN.

First of all I made a mistake in my BlogPoll last week, which I unfortunately didn’t have time to post before it went final. As BlogPoll maestro Brian pointed out, I had Ohio State ranked 9 spots ahead of USC last week, which was odd considering the Trojans won at OSU, and they had the same W-L ...

One thing I have noticed over the past several years of compiling statistical data is a reasonably reliable indicator that a team is headed for trouble – the giving up of significant points in any single game (not including overtime).How so? In this decade there have been six BCS conference ...

Presented are our week 10 Power Rankings, with the methodology explained here.Remember these are an effort to gauge the relative quality of the teams – as in who would beat who in a neutral setting. They are not a merit related ranking system. Hence, teams like Virginia Tech come in higher than ...

1. I really cannot figure out our offense. It is almost as though, the staff says this is all we need to do to win, rather than figuring out a plan to be the most effective offense possible. I think our staff has told the offense the only way we lose is if you guys turn the ball over. And you ...

Boise State continues to make the argument that they don't belong in the talk about belonging in the BCS series. The argument against the smaller schools isn't that they can't hang with the big boys in one game, the argument is they can't do it week after week. The Broncos look great in their 1 ...

1. If it isn't one thing, its another. Rather than being able to focus on (and rejoice over) the fact that in the 8th game the spread offense appeared, the Gator staff is dealing with the fallout from a despicable play by Brandon Spikes. Coach Meyer was quoted that he was going to have to have a ...

And What’s with Georgia?With a little help from our good friend Lane Kiffin, Florida is the 2009 SEC East Champion.

…the Trojans were really the 5th best team in the nation? Or 4th, as the AP had them?Credit to the BlogPoll that at least had them ranked 8th. We had them 11th here, but as resume rankers it wasn’t an estimation of their skill but our assessment of where they belonged based on their record. Also ...
