To busy watching UFC. Just noticed #1 and #2 went down today. Glad to see ND will be in the too spot. They take down USC and that natty title should be cake.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKK!!!

I don't think Barkley will be able to play next week.....

i hear college career probably over
ND vs bama/georgia winner?

[determined4000]

Wow what a day
ND vs Bama is what I am gussing wil be the national championship
ND will beat USC with Barkley out (would have been concerned b4)
Bama wont drop a second game and knowing now they have BCS championship within their grasp, the Georgia matchup will be even bigger for them
Anyone know the last #1 to go in as the underdog?
Bama will certainly be favored heavily and the over under should be low
ND has a good enough D to hold their offense in check, even if they dont/cant score much at all

Heisman:
No way Klein wins now
THought Barner had a shot but with Oregon out, he's out
Defensive player wont win
Johnny football has to be the odds on favorite
Career high in total yards today

Must see tomorrow:
GB vs Det for the scoring
Luck vs Brady in the new Colts NE matchup
Denver vs SD after that great comebackk 3 weeks ago
The MFN of Chi vs SF looking like fail now with Campbell starting

[midcoastking33]

nd is going to be number one, awful

[The Solution]

Notre Dame
FIGHTING IRISH

#1 in the BCS BABY!!!!!!!!


Got to hand it to USC next week.

Oregon still no points
Baylor up 7

Thanks for the updates last night man. Was stuck at work till midnight.
My boss started getting pissed when i kept checking my phone for updates LOL

What do you get in a league of have's and have not's
The Texans play lousy and win, Matt Ryan throws 5 picks and wins, the Cowboys try to lose a game every way possible and win, the Packers fo scoreless half the game and win, The Bucs play poorly and win.
Clearly the bottom of the league is too bad to even vest the top teams on their worst days.

Projections in NCAAFB have ND and bama winning and playing in the championship with Bama being a 10+ point favorite. Supposedly any SEC top ten team would be favored.
I was surprised to see Kstate sink as low as they did. Ohio State clearly is kicking themselves for not being eligible.


Was wondering this today. After Lebron and Durant, who is the best player in the NBA. Kobe is aging, Dwight's stock has fallen a lot, CP3 really hasnt ever won anything, Duncan is old, Sirk in decline, Wade seems to be riding Lebron's coat tails now, Melo is a 1way player.

So who would you take?

[Lvisaa2]

Ohio State clearly is kicking themselves for not being eligible.

Probably not. That would mean Tressell would still be there, but I think Urban is a better coach.

And bron. Hands down.

[determined4000]

re read my question...
I said AFTER Lebron and Durant
IMO he is by far 1 and Durant 2, after that it gets murky.

And when did the NFL come down with a mandate that the Steelers had to keep wearing the most awful uniforms in the history of sports?

Oops, I was wondering why this was even a question. Melo has been a much more complete player and I'd say he could take 3rd if he continues throughout the season.

was at the knicks-indy game today. ugly and a little boring, but the knicks got it done....this week won't be a cakewalk since its on the road, but the teams are teams we should beat easily.


btw i'm mirin kobe's triple double tonight

[determined4000]

Weekly Power Rankings- Some serious reshuffling
1. Green Bay- Did not loo overly impressive but more impressive than Atl and Houston which almost lost
2. Houston-speaking of which
3. New England- Points, points and more points. Now their D is turning others over
4. Denver- locked up the West and easy schedule ahead
5. Baltimore- just physically beating people up and down
6. SF- Looked great w/o Smith but how long will it last? Arguably the best NFC team to date but just don't have the Championship feel/pedigree.
7. Atl- 2 unimpressive weeks in a row and showing cracks (drop may be a little over-stated)
8. Chi- Need Cutler back. Who would have thought?
9. NYG- They hope the bye week reverses their recent fortunes
10. Pitt- Need to keep head above water until Ben comes back
11t. Indy/Seattle- A great O and great D and a bad D and a bad O. But have playoffs spots right now

Postitional rankings
QB
1. Peyton-MVP frontrunner as well
2. Arodg- doing it with a lot of injuries and no run game
3. Brady- less INTs than Sanchez has in the red zone
4. Brees- puts up huge numbers...and needs to
5. Ben- His absencse showed how valuable he is to his team

RB
1. AP- dont forget him cuz he was on bye
2. Dont forget him because Schaub threw for 500+
3. Martin -dont forget him because his name is new
4. Lynch- dont forget him because his offense stinks
5. CJohnson- dont forget him because he killed your fantasy team the first few weeks. Check his recent numbers and season sttats

WR
1. AJ Green- did you see that TD catch?
2. Calvin- Would you want anyone else?
3. Marshal- Can he produce without Jay?
4. Wes- Will Brady rely o him more w/o Gronk
5. Wayne- Is there a better option for a rookie QB?
Honorable Mention- Fitz- Does any other player hate his situation more?

TE-
1. Gronk- get well soon
2. Graham- Best healthy TE now
3. Witten- hands, reliability, blocking, toughness
4. Tony G- best 3rd option in the NFL
5. Hernandez- if he returns Brady will need him w./o Gronk

Defense
1. SF- Blend of talent, athleticism, tougheness
2. Bears- best playmakers
3. Baltimore- bullies
4. Seahawks- best secondary
5. Pitt/Houson- Housto better on the season but giving up that many to the Jags deserves a drop

The Bottom 5
1. Dallas doing all it can to lose...but not
2. Carolina, SD, Philly- who gets fired first?
3. Nick Foles as the Eagles savior
4. Blaine Gabbert's future with the Jags
5. Playing the league's best TE on the PAT team when you are up by 30

Rookie of the year
Martin? RGIII? Luck?
Who's your guy?
Best race for rookie in quite some time.
All have futures in this league.

[determined4000]

Predictions sure to go wrong
AFC playoffs:
houston/Denver get Byes
3. Balt defeats #6 Pittsburgh
#4 NE defeats Indy

Denver over Balt and NE over Hou
Denver over NE
(if Hou beats NE I like Hou over Denv***)

NFC
Atl and GB get Byes
#3 SF defeats #6 Sea
#4 NYG loses to #5 chicago (with Jay back)

Atl loses to #5 Chicago
GB defeats SF
GB defeats Chi

GB vs Denv (or maybe houson, yes wavering) in SBowl

Most intriguing possible matchup: Manning vs Manning
High scoring Matchup: NE vs GB
Boring Matchup: Houston vs SF
Low scoring Matchup: Balt vs SF

Did you know?
The Pats scored more points tis weeks than the Chiefs have since October 7th?

[psychodiver9]

Bears. Lol

[The Solution]

Bears. Lol

About as LOL as your FSU getting screwed in the BCS with only 1 loss. I feel bad for you almost barley a top 10 team. Seems unfair.

[midcoastking33]

Bears. Lol

When their defense doesn't score, they don't win cutler or no

[illiniStrive]

Bears. Lol

oh and wassup maryland and rutgers

[psychodiver9]

Yep. Expected with as bad as acc is. Horse crap to have 3 2 loss sec teams in front of us. After sat i cried again about the ncst loss. Wed be #2 now

[afrosamurai04]

Andy Reid's totally gonna get fired first, that was a horrible game for the Eagles against Washington! He might be a rookie, but I don't see Foles being the Eagles savior really :/ (21/46 passing and 2 interceptions is pretty rough)
I think RGIII will probably be the rookie of the year; he's been consistantly playing well, and he's got quiet a bit of rushing yards also.

[psychodiver9]

Oh look another wrong afro samurai post. Maybe right on Reid but the rest no

Roy
1. Luck
2. Martin
3. Rg3

Lol at judging a QB after 1 NFL start. Does the name Eli Manning mean anything? Loom at his first few years

This. Also, Foles looked better in that game than the likes of Gabbert, Kolb, Skelton, etc. have all season.

[miacanesfan25]

I have to agree with Luck potentially being Roy. He appears to have a bright future ahead of him. For some reason I have a feeling rg3 will kind of be another Cam Newton. Not that there's anything wrong with Cam, but he's been a bit quieter this year than he was last year.

Also, glad to see Plaxico playing again. Should be interesting to see how he helps the steelers the rest of the year. Especially considering they'll be starting Charlie Batch this week with Big Ben and Byron out.

Maybe if the Eagles fix up their crappy O-line, that may help Foles' performance quiet a bit?

[miacanesfan25]

Halp!

Should I start Brees against a 4th ranked SF defense or Luck against a 29th ranked Buffalo defense.

Both are playing well, and N.O. Offense is pretty hot right now. But, Fuk sf pass defense is really good.
And I'm a little hesitant after Lucks 4 turnovers last week. Buffalo sucks though.

Both are projected at 18.

What would you do nmisc?

Bills allow 17.8 fantasy pts per game
49ers 10.8
Brees avg 4 more fpt/g than Luck
Advantage Luck

[miacanesfan25]

I was leaning towards Luck. I'm still hesitant though, never know what Breesy is capable of any given Sunday.
