Yeah, but I was the best of the worst this weekend.
He's 0-4 vs. Stanford, and the Cardinal isn't exactly a football powerhouse. Just sayin...
See above.

Come on, no trash talk for the absent guy? Been gone a while, but I still find a few minutes to get in picks when I can.
Everyone been good? I am trying to catch up with what has happened since I was last here.

Welp another blow to the Big East:
It's official, after the 2014 season the Orange Bowl will feature the ACC champion against the highest-ranked team among Notre Dame and available teams from the SEC and Big Ten.
Unlike the current BCS, there will be no limit on the number of teams from a conference to fill the 12 available slots. As many as 10 of those spots could be spoken for in any given year. Those 12 schools will be selected by a human committee.
With the Orange move, the Big East is not currently assured an automatic spot in the playoff bowls. It will be up to those access bowls to select a team or teams from the Big East, MAC, Conference
USA , Sun Belt and Conference
USA in years when those bowls are not national semifinals. Bowls. In certain years, the SEC and Big Ten will have access to four of the six bowls.
Awesome.
So under this new format, here's what the "BCS" would have looked like last year:
National semifinals
No. 1 LSU vs. No. 4 Stanford
No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 3 Oklahoma State
Rose Bowl
Wisconsin vs. Oregon
Champions Bowl
Arkansas vs. Kansas State
Orange Bowl
Clemson vs. South Carolina*
Which means Big East champion West Virginia, the team that beat Clemson 70-33 an could have beaten them 105-21, would have been playing in the God Only Knows Bowl.

Looked like last year
Which is the point that the Big East champion put a beat down on the ACC champion (WVU just scored again) and would've been excluded under this deal.
Why even play the season

Taking suggestions
Because the football side gives them access to a college education.

Big East is getting slighted, I agree.
It fluctuates so much from year to year, that I think it's a shame to lock any conferences in. The B1G (in my opinion) is usually a top conference with 4-6 teams that could beat anybody on any given Saturday. This year, the B1G teams could lose to any MAC team on any given Saturday. So does that mean the MAC should be getting their auto-bowl-bids? No.
It's so damn subjective.
And on a sour note: I was at the WVU game today (sidelines pass was cool), and the Mountaineers looked like ****. Better get things straightened up FAST or this inaugural Big12 season is going to be painful.

I officially give up on the Yahoo pickems (I think there's a 4 way tie for 2nd right now). I seriously think that the way the points spreads have been done this year, I have a better shot at just doing an ABABAB pick.

Which seems weird to me. When you hire a defensive coordinator from an SEC team to be your head coach, you'd expect the defense to get better by a wide margin. That hasn't happened, but our offense is a hell of a lot more exciting than the Kragthorpe model.
