Oregon passed Notre Dame. That was the correct thing to happen. And K-State and Alabama remained #2 and #1 respectively. Also, correct.

Oregon will pass K-State if they win out, I'm convinced of it. Infact, a 12-0 Notre Dame may pass a 12-0 K-State to go to #3 and push the cats to #4. The computer algorithms still love Notre Dame (what with their wins over some very good teams) two still have them at #1.

Louisiville is way too low at #9. Try #7 or maybe even #6.

The computers are neutered by not including MOV, IMO. I cant believe that Richard Billingsley's retarded ass system is allowed to be part of the BCS also.

Getting margin of victory out of the BCS calculations was the correct thing to happen. It does college football no good for a team to beat another team 70-0 just because MOV is factored in to the algorithms. The MOV does not necessarily tell us ANYTHING about the team that wins. Instead, it tells us everything about the team that loses.

The goal in football is to win the game by a point. The goal is NOT to rout the opponent 70 to nothing just because they suck. The worst part about human beings and their subjective determinations on how good or bad teams are, is putting any weight behind dramatic blowouts. Notre Dame is a much better team that the one that escaped yesterday with a 3 point win over the armPitt university. On the flipside, Notre Dame is not as good as the team that pummeled Oklahoma. Using MOV in the computer polling and a program would not know what we all here already know, that Notre Dame is probably somewhere in the middle. BUT!!!!!!! if you take MOV out of the computer algorithms and reduce it to a simple win-loss calculation(which they have done), you make things much more objective.

Right now, the poll is right. And after this weekend when Oregon and K-State win again, they will swap places and K-State will drop to #3 and it will be right again....

I can't remember a player getting 51 points before in fantasy football

The timing of firing Phillips is good for UK, what is not good for UK is Barnhart being in charge of the hiring process.

If I had to bet he is going to hire someone with connections to the UK football program (and no one with connections with UK football needs to be hired back with the exception of Leech) or someone with connections to Tennessee during the Phil Fulmer experience.

Bottom line is Barnhart doesn't believe we can hire someone that will come in with the resume to make a difference immediately and is going to hire a roll of the dice - someone who sees UK as a step up. I"d rather hire someone who says "alright , fuck it, I'll go coach at UK". I want a guy who is going to come in and be like "I'm too good to be at this dump, but this is all I have so I'm going to show everyone how to win here".

Yea, I want Petrino dammit

"On the flipside, Notre Dame is not as good as the team that pummeled Oklahoma."

Did you even watch that game? ND didn't pummel Oklahoma. They put up their entire winning margin in the last half of the 4th quarter. Sure, that counts, too, but when a game is tied with 6 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, it's not getting pummeled when one team scores a quick couple of touchdowns in the last few minutes of the game...

your welcome ATM

nice to have martin and rodgers hot the same week

I'm still not a believer in alabama this year. I have a suspicion 2/4 unbeatens go down before all is said and done. Bama has a BIG trap game this weekend--atm's team is very good and gave LSU the game basically same as LSU did to alabama.

we have optimus with a head injury --they pulled him because he couldnt remeber things after getting hit in the head. I expect him to play but this is our trap game.--good thing is we have a 1 game lead on oklahom,a and own the tie breaker so at least we should be bcs bowl bound just probalby not the championship game

but if histroy shows anything and based on the last weekend there will not be 4 undefeateds and highly ublikely 3 make it

Did you break 150? San Diego, Martin, and Rogers probably beat me on their own with roughly 90-100 pts

Christ, 162?

I still have a shot if Thomas can outscore Graham by 65!

nice to win the battle for 6th place in a top 4 league

Sure, Dad, use me as a prop...

Kids gonna regret not smiling once he figures it out.

Here ya go e.

is that Mook?

yea some folks want him. He'd fail miserably there which is why he'd never consider it.

I don't see the NCAA giving the ok after just one year anyway. Dude is a lying scumbag. UK could be in the upper half of the SEC in 5 years if they actually gave a fuck about football.

I saw somebody mention Tim DeRuyter which I thought was a little odd.

Brent Pease, Cutliffe, Fulmer and a couple of other names are on the short list.

None of those would please the fans who want a big name guy like Petrino or Tressel

Finally, who is interested in the Kentucky job? Bobby Petrino, whose father told the Courier-Journal that “I just know this, that he’s interested in Kentucky. He wants to stay in the SEC. That was his life’s goal was to go to the SEC.” Check out Matt’s post below for more.


its there for the taking, but Barnhart won't do it. This quote will make the rounds and put incredible pressure on Barnhart. If he doesn't move on Petrino and hires a failure or worse, and old crony, he'll be run out of town.

Even if Petrino comes in and fucks us over, its the "safe" move for Mitch

Bobby Petrino seems like he would be a good fit at UK.
