  1. My general rule is that if there is no way I can rationally envision the unranked team winning, it's a mismatch, and I cannot in any way imagine IU managing to pull that one off, or stay within 17 for that matter.
  2. If the Mets make it, they'll win 1. If the Cards make it, they'll probably win 4 just to make me gouge my eyes out.
  3. Piniella was not my first choice. But I'll give him a chance. Of course if the Cubs pull a 180 next season that stat monkee's will be hard at work spinning the fact that Lou deserve's no credit whatsoever. If the Cubs pull a 180 next season, it will be because the team has a lot of better players than they did this season, and because they didn't get injured at the rate they have been over the last three years. It will not be because of anything Lou did - unless he's savvy enough to bat a Murton second as opposed to a Cedeno/Bynum.
  4. Unfortunately for me, they're probably going to get one in April. Are you Brady Quinn? :lol: No, just a Quinn fan that would rather see him in Detroit where he'd at least have a prayer. No one can win in Oakland.
  5. Is it fair to say Carlos Beltran enjoys hitting against the St. Louis Cardinals in League Championship Series?
  6. Unfortunately for me, they're probably going to get one in April.
  7. 16 million for an .827 OPS? no thanks. For a clutch, Pennant Winning HR? Yes, Please. An .827 OPS in right field probably won't allow you to get to that situation in the first place. Umm... didn't exactly that just happen? Exception proves the rule.
  8. Bye weeks in the NFL aren't too terrible...it's when Notre Dame is off that I just get bored out of my mind. I spent all day yesterday watching other games wishing ND was playing. At least in the NFL you can still follow fantasy players.
  9. 16 million for an .827 OPS? no thanks. For a clutch, Pennant Winning HR? Yes, Please. An .827 OPS in right field probably won't allow you to get to that situation in the first place.
  10. Looks like the Mets should be taking HFA back in this series.
  11. I may get to see Carolina play yet again thanks to Indy being at a different time and the Cincy market being close to here coupled with the fact that it's the showcase game. I don't think I've ever gotten to watch consecutive Carolina nonplayoff games before so that'd be freaking sweet...
  12. Sunday, Oct. 22nd at 1 pm ----------------------------- Carolina at Cincinnati Detroit at NY Jets Green Bay at Miami Jacksonville at Houston New England at Buffalo Philadelphia at Tampa Bay Pittsburgh at Atlanta San Diego at Kansas City Sunday, Oct. 22nd at 4 pm ----------------------------- Denver at Cleveland Arizona at Oakland Minnesota at Seattle Washington at Indianapolis Monday, Oct. 23rd at 8:30 pm (ESPN) ------------------------------ NY Giants at Dallas No Sunday-nighter. The Bears are off so this is all the NFL action for this week.
  13. You are an absolute genius, Derwood. Thanks. For my next trick, I'd also like to see the Super Bowl played in the stadium of one of the two teams playing in the game. Noooo. It's all well and good to split up a series by home stadiums but having a one-game final held in a home stadium is a very bad idea. No offense.
  14. These, BTW, are the top 25 in the first BCS ranking. 1. Ohio State 2. USC 3. Michigan 4. Auburn 5. West Virginia 6. Florida 7. Louisville 8. Notre Dame 9. Texas 10. California 11. Tennessee 12. Clemson 13. Arkansas 14. Oregon 15. Boise State 16. Rutgers 17. Nebraska 18. LSU 19. Georgia Tech 20. Boston College 21. Wisconsin 22. Oklahoma 23. Iowa 24. Missouri 25. Tulsa
  15. They're both the same. :D
  16. Would you guys prefer me do the Top 25 matchups based on the AP rankings (like now) or the BCS rankings?
  17. I went 6-2 in the early games. Picked TB strictly because they weren't bad enough to be 0-5 in my view, only lost Falcons and Saints games.

  19. Yay NFC South teams
  20. This is a flame post waiting to happen, but: versus like opponents (Penn State and Michigan State) Brady Quinn Passing: 45/73, 606 yds, .616 completion percentage, 8 TD, 1 INT Rushing: 14 carries, 4 yards, 0 TD Troy Smith Passing: 27/44, 349 yds, .613 completion percentage, 2 TD, 2 INT Rushing: 11 carries, 28 yards, 0 TD (I still think Smith is and should be the Heisman favorite)
  21. Sure looks to me like he broke the plane before the ball came out
  22. Jake Delhomme has compiled a career-high 366 yards and 2 TD today against the formidable Ravens D. Panthers now 4-0 with Smith on the team :D
  23. HE DID NOT FORCE HEAP OUT YOU HOMETOWNERS
  24. HOLY COW Steve Smith goes 72 yards for a TD on the first play after the Ravens' score! 23-14
