-Why do poll voters feel like they should drop a team in the polls just because that team lost?  What if that loss was a close game against the best team in the nation on the road?  Should you drop them just because they lost?  No, but they always do.  And what about when the teams behind the team that just lost have the same record but you couldn't say those teams are better than said team, should you drop them in the polls?  Nope, but they still do.  This has never made sense to me.

-Do you think refs get pissed when a call is overturned by replay?  Or do you think they would rather have the play called correctly so that they don't get beat up in the parking lot?

-I have always wondered why they calculate field goal yardage the way they do.  If you don't know for some reason, they take the yardage left to the goal line then tack on 17 more yards (10 for the length of the end zone and 7 for the length from the center to where the ball is set).  But why?  Wouldn't it be easier if a ball is on the 25 yard line when hiked, it is considered a 25 yard field goal?  Why bother with all that extra math?  It makes no sense, unless of course it is a way to make kickers fell better about themselves by adding that extra yardage.

SEC West v. SEC Least Update!!!

No teams from the West played the East this week, but I did stumble upon this sign from College GameDay that I think sums up the SEC East in one nice picture:

"In case you don't know why this is funny, it's b/c Indiana (a really bad team that is winless in Big 10 play) beat Missouri earlier this season."

-Remember when I said I was going to make my picks last week and then switch them?  Well, it didn't matter because I finished 3-3.  Sadly, I'm happy with that outcome only because that is technically not a losing week and I really needed that right now.  But now that I'm off the losing train, I guarantee a winning week or your money back.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"This is the funniest sign I have seen all year and it's not even close."

-Alright, enjoy the twelfth week of college football.
