Playoff time

Since the very start of this lame blog of mine I have pushed for a playoff in college football. My very first post three years addressed this exact subject. Now even the President Elect is calling for a playoff. No disrespect to President-Elect Obama, but my 16 team playoff is better than his 8 team plan. The plan is quite simple. Each of the eleven conference champions will get an automatic birth, and there will be five at large teams as well. I have taken the time to seed all sixteen teams and ever I will post the winners. On New Years Day I crown the Champion.

1. Oklahoma (Big 12 Champion)
16. Buffalo (MAC Champion)

8. Penn State (Big 11 Champion)
9. Boise State (WAC Champion)

5. USC (Pac 10 Champion)
12. Cincinnati (Big Least Champion)

4. Alabama (At Large)
13. Virginia Tech (ACC Champion)

3. Texas (At Large)
14. East Carolina (Conference USA Champion)

6. Utah (Mountain West Champion)
11. TCU (At Large)

7. Texas Tech (At Large)
10. Ohio State (At large)

2. Florida (SEC Champion)
15. Troy (Sun Belt Champion)

My Final Pac 10 Rankings

1. USC- I'm getting really sick of them winning the Pac 10 every year
2. Oregon- Early prediction for 2009: Oregon Ducks Pac 10 Champs!
3. Oregon State- I have a couple of things here. Mike Riley did not deserve Pac 10 coach of the year. My second complaint is How is Jaquizz Rodgers the pac 10 Offensive Player of the year when he's only the third best running back in the State of Oregon?
4. Cal- Memo to Jaquizz Rodgers: Please send Jahvid Best his Pac 10 Offensive player of the year award.
5. Arizona- I finally found a coach that's crazier than Mike Stoops. It's Kansas State Basketball Coach Bill Martin.
6. ASU- Weren't the Sun Devils supposed to be good?
7. Stanford- The Cardinal improved this year but....
8. UCLA- It won't be long before the Bruins rise to the top but NCAA may be knocking on their door shortly after that.
9. WSU- Co-Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach Chris Ball was on the staff at Western Oregon during my brief career with the Wolves. I didn't like him. Washington State ranked 97th in scoring defense, 67th in rush defense, 93rd in pass defense and 85th in total defense out 119 teams.
10.Washington- 0-12 is quite the accomplishment.

Pac 10 Rankings

1. USC- If the Trojans somehow lose to UCLA then the rodents would go to the Rose Bowl. Please don't let that happen USC.
2. Oregon- 65-38!!! One of the most satisfying Civil War victories in my lifetime.
3. OS(U)- I saw a bunch roses on the ground after Saturday's game.
4. Cal- The Bears are the only thing that stands between Huskies and perfection.
5. Arizona- Looks like the mildcats are heading to San Francisco for Bowl Season.
6. ASU- The Sun Devils are the Pac 10's most dissapointing team.
7. UCLA- The Bruins have an opportunity to really mess things up in the Pac 10. I doubt they do it.
8. Stanford- They have pretty good Women's Volleyball team.
9. WSU- I didn't bother to check if they beat Hawaii or not. I'm assuming they didn't.
10. Washington- One defeat away from perfection.

Another Great Picture from the Civil War

Oregon 65 OS(U) 38

Needless to say, I'm in a much better mood than this guy.

OS(U) Joke of the Day

A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep the store." But, I'm a OS(U) graduate," the young man replied indignantly, "I even played football
there!" "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I better show you how"

OS(U) Joke of the Day

One day in an elementary school in Corvallis, OR, a teacher asks her class if the OS(U) Beavers are their favorite football team. The whole class says yes, except for Little Jimmy.

The teacher asks, "What's your favorite football team Jimmy?"

Little Jimmy says, "The Oregon Ducks "

The teacher asks, "Well, why is that?"

Little Jimmy says, "Well, my dad is a Duck fan, my mom is a Duck fan, I guess that makes me a Duck fan."

The teacher angered by his reply says, "If your dad was a moron and your mom was an idiot what would that make you?"

Little Jimmy says, "Well, I guess that would make me a OS(U) fan."

OS(U) Joke of the Day

A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Beaver joke?" The guy replies, "Well, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I am 6' tall, 200 lbs. and I am an OS(U) graduate. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", 225 lbs. and he is an OS(U). The guy right next to him is 6'5", 250lbs. and he is also an OS(U). Now, you still wanna tell me that joke?"

The first guy says, "No, not if I'm going to have to explain it three times"

OS(U) Joke of the Day

It was reported that OS(U) head football coach Mike Riley will only be dressing twenty players for the Oregon game. The rest of the players will have to get dressed by themselves.

Pac 10 Rankings

1. Washington State- As pathetic as the apple cup was, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Cougars beat the Huskies.
2. USC- They may the best team in the country but they're not going to get a shot at a National Title.
3. OS(U)- Only the Ducks stand between the Beavers and the Rose Bowl.
4. Oregon- The Ducks will spoil the Beavers Rose Bowl dreams on Saturday.
5. Cal- The Bears have an extra week to prepare for the Mighty Washington Huskies.
6. Arizona- When did Mike Stoops start taking defensive pointers from Nick Allioti?
7. UCLA- As bad as they are the Bruins could still go to a bowl.
8. ASU- See Above
9. Stanford- Basketball Season is here!!!
10. Washington- One game from perfection!!!!!!

OS(U) Joke of the Day

A: Eugene: 47 Miles

OS(U) Joke of the Day

Q: Why do OS(U) fans wear orange?

A: They can wear it to the game on Saturday…They can wear it

hunting on Sunday…and they can wear it to work on Monday

when they’re picking up garbage at the roadside!

OS(U) Joke of the day

In honor of Civil War week my "OS(U) Joke of the Day" segment returns for the third consecutive year. So here is my first OS(U) joke of the Day for 2008:

Q: What does a OS(U) grad call an Oregon grad?

A: Boss

Pac 10 Rankings

1. USC- I don't care that the Trojans lost to OS(U) early in the season, they're still best tean in the Pac 10 and it's not even close.
2. OS(U)- The Beavers are dangerously close to Rose Bowl. I think they'll blow it.
3. Oregon- The Ducks are still mathmetically alive for the Rose Bowl. Please click here to see what it would take.
4. Cal- Losing to the Beavers helped the ducks.
5. Arizona- I got sick of that number 48 on Saturday.
6. UCLA- If UCLA beats ASU and USC the Bruins will go bowling.
7. Stanford- The Cardinal need to just beat Cal and they're going bowling.
8. ASU-They were considered a threat to challenge USC at the beginning of the season.
9. Open
10. WSU and Washington-I cannot justify ranking either school 9th.
