So Maybe I Was One Yard Incorrect

Tim Tebow is recognized as a legitimate deity in forty seven states and two different countries (yeah, he's kind of hero for circumcising young boys in Thailand while wearing Crocs), yet his failure to convert a fourth and one cost Florida a win and me a season's worth of predictions.

It's not over yet. I'm unwilling to throw in the towel, because a) If Florida somehow remains unscathed the rest of the season, they'll still make the championship game, and b) everyone else is losing like it's half off at Wal-Mart. Numbers 1, 3, 4, 9, 16, 22 and 24 all came out on the low end this week. And the USC loss certainly balances out the Florida loss, at least on the emotional end of things. With plenty of time to kill, I was able to submit a ballot to the Associated Press. I'm not sure I'm exactly qualified by newspaper terms to cast a vote in these matters, nor am I sure e-mailing the AP with a pseudo e-mail is the correct manner in making my voice count. So my ballot might not necessarily count for anything point-wise, but I'm holding out hope it could be used as a tiebreaker, if it comes to that. For your benefit:

Team (Record) Conference
1. Oklahoma (4-0) Big 12
2. Missouri (4-0) Big 12
3. Alabama (5-0) SEC
4. LSU (4-0) SEC
5. Texas (4-0) Big 12
6. Penn State (5-0) Big Ten
7. Florida (3-1) SEC
8. USC (2-1) Pac 10
9. BYU (4-0) Mountain West
10. Georgia (4-1) SEC
11. Ohio State (4-1) Big Ten
12. South Florida (5-0) Big East
13. Texas Tech (4-0) Big 12
14. Kansas (3-1) Big 12
15. Wisconsin (3-1) Big Ten
16. Utah (4-0) Mountain West
17. Auburn (4-1) SEC
18. Boise State (3-0) WAC
19. Fresno State (3-1) WAC
20. Northwestern (5-0) Big Ten
21. Oklahoma State (4-0) Big 12
22. Virginia Tech (4-1) ACC
23. Maryland (4-1) ACC
24. Wake Forest (3-1) ACC
25. Vanderbilt (4-0) SEC

Basically, the Big 12 and the SEC dominate this thing. I'm not too high on Texas Tech, and I'm certainly not drinking the Vanderbilt Kool-aid, but give them credit for being undefeated so far. The 49ers have won two games before either of these teams have lost one, so hats off to them. I'm sure Vanderbilt will rip right through the Georgia-Florida-Tennessee-Wake Forest section of their schedule.

The beautiful thing about Saturdays is you have nothing to do but meet fellow bloggers via the internet. Which I have taken the liberty to do today. I don't know if I'm fave five status with any of these bloggers yet, but perhaps I will eventually be able to secure a guest post. I notice all of their blogs have some sort of recurring theme, whereas mine kind of goes in whatever direction I feel. Sometimes that direction is not leaving the garage. I admire the commitment of every single one of these bloggers. The most impressive deduction I have made is their hard work has secured them a number of loyal followers, who in turn do the work for them. When you have upwards of five hundred avid daily readers, and you say "get me a video of Amare Stoudemire," I'll be darned if they don't come up with a video of Amare guest-starring in Yo Gabba Gabba. This is seriously one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. This week.

I got this video courtesy of Awful Announcing, which is my favorite of the many blogs which I have stumbled across this evening. Not only is it insightful, hilarious, and very user-intuitive, it has actual factual information that one would find useful. Such as, what NFL games I will be seeing week-in and week-out, and who will be calling these games. Also, as one would imagine, the blog centers around the theme of subpar commentators, meaning every once in a while, I stumble upon a gem uttered by this blog's hero, Emmitt Smith. Apparently sometime during Monday Night Countdown, he proclaimed "The good thing about being short is everyone else is tall." I don't know how that helps me, but as an individual falling below the average American height, I gain solace in knowing that Emmitt sees the brightside in my woes.
