Final 2012 Recruiting Team Rankings (per Rivals)

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:27:52 +0000

#1    Alabama – nuff said
#2    Texas – Mack Brown always gets the best athletes over what he really needs
#3    Florida – impressive
#4    Ohio State – Urban Meyer must have really laid it on thick
#5    Stanford – this is the latest trend school to go to; after a couple or 8-9 win seasons they will settle back in to mediocrity
#6    Michigan – with OSU they dominated Big 10 country
#7    USC – how long until this kingdom crumbles?
#8    Florida State – see Texas above
#9    Miami (FL) – this is baffling since the U is about to get hammered by the NCAA
#10    Oklahoma – meh
#11    Auburn – the south is so strong that even with castoffs you can get a good class
#12    UCLA – Jim Mora and his B.S. Too bad he can’t coach
#13    Clemson – Dabo Swinney saving his job one day at a time
#14    Texas A&M – being in the SEC helps
#15    Oregon
#16    LSU – did Les Miles forget to set his alarm clock?
#17    Tennessee – Dooley doing what he does best
#18    South Carolina – when’s tee time, Spurrier?
#19    Georgia – DREAM TEAM II! …not
#20    Washington – not bad for who they are
#21    Virginia Tech
#22    Notre Dame - Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten overrated Gunner Kiel.
#23    Rutgers – impressive considering Greg Schiano left them high & dry
#24    California
#25    Nebraska – ouch, Pellini
#26    Texas Tech
#27    Virginia – I like their coach
#28    Utah
#29    Vanderbilt – not bad for them
#30    Mississippi State – bad for them; wonder how long this Dan Mullen thing will last
#31    Oklahoma State – big season did not translate to big recruiting
#32    Arkansas – this is pathetic
#33    Missouri – Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten Dorial Green-Beckham
#34    Colorado
#35    Purdue
#36    TCU
#37    Arizona State
#38    Oregon State
#39    Louisville
#40    Iowa
#41    Michigan State – they should be better but they all go to Michigan
#42    North Carolina
#43    Baylor – what? No RG3 effect?
#44    Mississippi – barely made the top 50
#45    Arizona
#46    Pittsburgh
#47    West Virginia
#48    South Florida
#49    Cincinnati
#50    Penn State – Hmm? I wonder why they are so low.

Not ranked:
ACC (6): Georgia Tech, BC, Maryland, Duke, NC St, Wake
SEC (1): Kentucky – Joker Phillips is a joke. Bad hire.
Big 12 (3): ISU, KSU, Kansas – good try, Jumbo
Big 10 (5): Ill, Ind, Minn, NW, WISCONSIN – what happened?
Pac 12 (1): Wash State
other: Boise

HAHAs Week 7 – Dominoes

I didn’t expect #1 Ohio State to lose this soon nor this easily. #18 Wisconsin in the upset 31-18. This is what happens when you depend on the QB to provide all the offense (see Michigan, Nebraska, Auburn, Virginia Tech).

#5 Nebraska got a might bit too big for their own britches. They were already looking ahead to the Big XII Championship game in December. Unranked Texas, loser of two in a row, had other ideas 20-13. This is what happens when you depend on the QB to provide all the offense (see Michigan, Ohio State, Auburn, Virginia Tech).

A week after playing a perfect game vs. former #1 Alabama, #10 South Carolina lays a big fat egg to Kentucky who had just lost three straight.

Did you see the “Evil Genius” (aka: Steve Spurrier) at the end of the SC-UK game?? He pulled a Les Miles:
Down 31-28, 1st & 10 at UK’s 20 yd line with 11 seconds AND THE CLOCK ALREADY STOPPED, he calls his final timeout! After that, pretty much the only play you can call is a pass into the end zone. It was intercepted – game over.

Urban Meyer and #22 Florida lost their 3^rd straight game. Mississippi State wins in “the Swamp” 10-7. Well, I guess Tebow was pretty important to that program after all, huh?

Somebody tell me HOW IN THE HELL did #19 Nevada (loss to Hawaii) and #23 Air Force (loss to San Diego State) get ranked. Ridiculous.

When are folks going to stop believing Oregon State (#24) is ever going to do anything worthwhile? The go to 3-3 after losing to Washington 35-34.

BCS:

I don’t get this. How does Oklahoma get the top spot? They beat Utah State by 7, Air Force by 3 and Cincinnati by 2. I am unimpressed. I predict they lose AT LEAST one regular season game and the Big XII championship game to Nebraska.

As always, Boise is a joke.

Week 4 2010 NCAA College football HaHa Awards

HaHas Week 4, 2010

#10 Arkansas – Bill Clinton was there. So were John Daly and Jerry Jones. Some students camped out since Monday to get a good seat (I guess going to class at Ark is optional). Others stood on a hill outside the stadium. Alabama had other ideas, 24-20. Good try. Back to second tier with you.

#7 Tex-ass – LAME. Lost at home by 21 to a mediocre UCLA team. Looking ahead to the Oklahoma game, Longhorns?

#12 South Carolina and Spurrier – it’s just NOT gonna happen. Ever. Auburn 35, South Carolina 27. Lattimore 14 rushes for 33 yards.

UGA and Richt – see above. The Dawgs (1-3) lose at Mississippi State 24-12 AND had another arrest on Sunday night (DUI). Their tenth since March.

Georgia Tech – Coach Johnson, I think teams are figuring out that silly little offense. NC State wins in Atlanta 45-28.

Minnesota – first they lose to South Dakota and now to Northern Illinois (quick, team colors and mascot?) at home 34-23.

Boise – You’re saying “why do they get a haha? They beat Oregon State.” Yes, but they did not really impress anyone in either of their high profile games (the other being Va Tech). Even the wonks who were pushing them are now backing off.

Notre Dame – ahh, this never gets old HAHAHAHA! Another loss for the Dames. This time the beneficiary was Stanford 37-14.

Preview of Week 5: every year it seems Stanford has a player who gets overhyped or they win a few games and everyone goes into a tizzy. But now they travel to Eugene Oregon to see what they are REALLY made of.
