EA Sports' NCAA Football 2009 rankings. I guess I should clarify this a bit. You see, there are a lot of things that I think need to be changed about college football, and one of the first things I'd do as dictator is abolish all preseason polls; or at least their obvious, arguably inappropriate influence on the only rankings that really matter in the end: The final BCS standings.
Ask yourself if LSU could still make the 2007 BCS Championship Game, after two losses over their last 6 regular season games, if they'd started the season ranked 8th or 13th, for example, as opposed to 2nd. The big two preseason polls, as well as all the other media polls out there, pollute the college football landscape by gifting certain anointed teams an advantage based on what is essentially, somewhat arbitrary, conjecture. I mean, let's face it, these things come out well before any team has even sniffed a competitive playing field. What legitimate basis do the voters have to rank any team at that point?

Filthy as sin, and 100% Dawg. If this reel is a bit dirty in general, and I posit that it is, then things regress to absolute squalor around the 1:45 mark. Nasty! I just hope that poor kid can walk again one day. More after the jump...
In an expected and loathesome decision today, John Swofford announced that the BCS was in an "unprecedented state of health" and will not adjust its format to the excruciatingly logical "+1" scenario that college football fans from coast to coast have been pining for since the birth of the BCS.
WRIGHTSVILLE, Georgia-- Many people think they know the legendary Herschel Walker, and that's because they've probably met him in person and hung out with him. He's a famous running back who won the 1982 Heisman Trophy.
On freshman Kyle Parker, who is having a really good season with the baseball team: “I’ve watched him practice and I’ve watched him play (baseball). He’s really good looking. If I was a girl, I’d be very interested in him. He wears those tight pants. When you wear loose stuff, you can’t tell the definition of a guy’s body. In baseball, everything’s tight and you can tell he’s very well put together.”
