I was out of town last weekend so the update is a little late. Week 4 action being described in Week 5!?!?!? It's crazy I tells ya! But not crazier than the big move by mr terps to nab a tie for top spot with shawjawilsav (bot terps and shaw are two time winners of the pool).
Best Pick Award

Week 3: NCAA Ruminations
To the newbies in the pool, I try to share my thoughts on the news and results related to college football for the given week. I've been a bit lax so here's to hoping this gets the ball rolling:
"Dude, you know what would TOTALLY be cool..."
So, during the action yesterday, teams and leagues around the country were leaking news of the impending conference realignments. Anyone get the sense that ADs and college directors are getting bombed at morning tailgates and throwing out missives?
Yesterday's latest was that Pitt and Syracuse have formally applied to join the ACC (they didn't even say if they've completed their SATs yet). This led to speculation that included:
1) The ACC is really targeting a number of 16 members and that the league will be more than willing to be Texas' prison girlfriend to get the Longhorns on-board (a move that the remaining members of the Big 12 are not willing to do). ACC to Texas - sure, you can keep your network!
2) Kansas is also a viable target for the ACC. (I really think Atlantic Cost will have to come out of the name of the league by then.)_
3) Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are as good as gone.
Among these are many other musings. My best guess is that this is all going to move into one giant league of 73 teams that will compete once every four years for a "World Championship" that will ultimately be decided between the winner of this one mega-league, the India-Pakistan cricket champion, the winner of CBS's latest installment of Survivor, and (provided they meet one of two only slightly restrictive provisions) Notre Dame.
UPDATE: Sunday afternoon it was announced that the addition of Pitt and Syracuse was unanimously approved by the 12 member schools of the ACC. It's a done deal.
Expansion Thought Part II
How bad is it to deal with Texas? Think about it...a league with Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas State, Kansas, Mizzou and Colorado couldn't hold it together? Among those programs are some serious heavyweights in either football, basketball, or both. Seriously? Texas must be the Jennifer Anniston of football teams. REALLY hot but no one wants to stay with them.
Speaking of Notre Dame
Dear Michigan State, I continue to be drawn into your web of lies and deceit. Always looking good on paper, never delivering. I'm going to have to do some serious soul searching to decide if I'm willing to invest anymore in this relationship. Sincerely, Ultimate Bill
Just beat sunrise by "that" much
I went to bed not long after the FSU/Oklahoma game. Before retiring I checked in on Tulsa/Oklahoma State to witness the commentators commenting on how it was ridiculous no decision had been made regarding the weather delay that was still in effect as of midnight eastern time. I woke up this morning to find that the kick-off occurred about an hour later.
The decision to play was made partly because neither team has an open date on their schedule for the remainder of the season.
A Sunday noon kick-off wasn't a possibility? I think the TV rating were all ready a loss fellas.
SEC ramblings
Remember three weeks ago when the top 25 polls came out and you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one of eight SEC teams on the list? (Bama, LSU, South Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi State, Florida, and Auburn, for the record) Move to week 3 and we learned a few things about the SEC. 1) Auburn was there just because they were defending national champs. The Tigers are about 62 seconds away from being 0 and 3. This isn't really a huge criticism of Auburn because they definitely went for the marbles last year and it paid off. It's more of a comment of how these polls work. They were in the top 25, just 'cuz. Oh - and they are in 27th this week. 2) Georgia is the same Georgia it has been for years. Think about this...Matt Stafford is making a winner out of the Detroit Lions. He's that good - and Richt couldn't do anything with him. Maybe it isn't fair to judge results in the ultra-competitive SEC. Maybe Richt's a good dude. Georgia should be a lot better than it is and it has been that way for a while. And Georgia got votes this week??? 3) Mississippi state is out largely because it couldn't get two extra inches against Auburn and because it out-dumbed LSU last Thursday. They'll be back in, but they are hardly an elite team.
Looking at who's left in the ranking from the SEC. We have Florida - who probably nabbed two more penalties during the post-game press conference. Apparently the Gators feed off of Muschamp, who, by all accounts, is certifiably insane. LSU - this is the classic Les Miles team. Play like a 6-5 squad but WIN EVERY SINGLE TIME. Look for LSU to cruise to the title game - just feels like it. I can't tell anything about Bama or Arkansas right now. The Coks struggled against Navy but that's no real crime.
ACC Ramblings
FSU couldn't quite get it done against Oklahoma. Not even with the skinniest player in the history of football under center. Maryland fell short in a comeback against WVU (who faces LSU in Morgantown next week). Outside of those two shortfalls - a pretty nice weekend for the league given Clemson beating Auburn and Miami beating Ohio State (which is a shell of itself). In league play, UNC beat Virginia - I have no feeling about that as I despise both institutions equally. BC looks to cruise to it's norma....wait a second...they lost to DUKE!?!?!?! What in the name of Chestnutt Hill? The Hokies have managed not to lose while playing noone and I, for one, am A-OK with that.
Other Ramblings
Seriously, how bad is the Big Ten going to be this year? Ohio State has carried any national credibility the league had over the last few years and it is simply not a good team. Penn State almost lost to Temple. Michigan State got pantsed by Notre Dame. Nebraska and Wisconsin are Top Ten teams. Can anyone that's watched the Huskers honestly say they are legit Top Ten material? Wisconsin might be the only really strong team the league has.
Brief NFL Note
My son Connor is waking from his nap on Sunday afternoon as I type this. He is talking in his crib and saying "See Jaguars" since dad and Connor were watching the Jags/Jets game. Connor went to nap before the first half was over. I ask the Dad's out there - how do I break the news? This is Luke McCown's line fromt he game:
6 for 19, 59 yards, 1 sack, 0 TDs and 4 interceptions. His QB Rating? ..... 1.8

BUCFP: Week 3 Main Pool Update
Shajawilsav maintains his season long grip on the top spot. Let's look at the action after a week 3 that didn't end until 3:35 AM central time!
Four players tied for the week's best performance at 16 points: Go Terps (whose Terps did not go), Holy Mackerel III (whose Tide did), Peter Pantsless (who generally remains somewhat neutral but REALLy REALLY doesn't like Texas A&M), and randomaxe (affiliation unknown???). Huge weeks by all three propelled them into the top ranks of the pool with Go Terps cuddling up to Shajawilsav only 2 behind and Mackerel one behind him. (As a side note, both shaja and Terps are two time winners of the pool).
On the down side, both Boardwalk Empire and Hokeustheway came in at half the points of our week-best leaders. That's going to leave a mark.
Best Pick
Best pick award goes to Go Terps, UTK'03, TigerTown, and Rocky Flop for taking Troy to cover the Razorbacks.
Worst Pick
In a landslide victory, cock-a-doodle-doo's belief that Western Illinois would take Mizzou straight up.

NCAA Ruminations: Week 1
My Life is Like a Country Song
Cars done wrecked, dryer's busted, my dog's is howling, my littlin' is a-running round the house, and my bourbon is runnin' low...sounds like a country song don't it?
But wait, what's this? It's ALL READY FREAKING SEPTEMBER!!! After 1,000 straight days of a heat index in the 200s down here in Jacksonville, a bit of cool hit the area over the weekend, and along with it came that glorious weekly menu of college football. This was one awesome opening weekend too. Let us count the ways quickly, and then proceed with the details:
Awesomeness
1) VIRGINIA TECH BEAT A D1AA OPPONENT!!!
2) Notre Dame is...I'm almost starting to feel sorry for Notre Dame fans
3) Georgia lost to Boise State WAY worse then Virginia Tech did last year, so that's something
4) Les Miles is setting up to perplex the nation again
5) Lane Kiffin almost lost at home to one of the worst Big 10 teams
SEC Insanity
Ok, I live in the heart of SEC country. I'm perfectly fine recognizing that a league that has been the source of the past 5 national champions is due a fair share of respect. I'm even happy to say that yes, Alabama and LSU, in all likelihood, are top five teams. But seriously folks, EIGHT freaking teams in the Top 25. So let's see what this weekend told us:
DAWGIN' IT: It would appear that this year, like pretty much every single year in the Mark Richt era, the Georgia Bulldogs were thought to be contenders and that, this year, like every single year in the Mark Richt era, they are not. Boise St. basically toyed with the Bulldogs in their own backyard. And they get South Carolina next week? I'm sure Spurrier isn't looking to make a statement early on. I'm sure it will be just fine Coach Richt. Don't you worry your pretty little head.
War Feable: Anyone watch Auburn come back late to score an exciting victory? Shades of last year's championship run - when the Tigers came from behind in 7 or 8 games (I don't remember). Did it remind you of the huge win over Bama? This one was one for the record books! Huh? Excuse me? OOooooohhhhh! It was Utah State. Nevermind. Auburn was most assuredly in the top 25 preseason rankings simply because the voters said "Well they ARE the defending national champs." Sorry Gene Chizeck (or however you spell it), it's going to be a long year on the Plains.

Welcome to the new season!!!
My little BUCFPites - I've been quiet so long but I can't stands no more! The college football season is upon and yesterday (Saturday) was chock full of goodness in the way of soon-to-be-mega-conference embarrassments (way to go Oregon State!) and your annual ACC shenanigans (way to go Duke!)
So what's new?
The Pool
Well, we've got a couple of fresh faces and many old-timers in this year's edition of the most ultimate of college football pools. Thirty people made the sign up deadline, which will make for some serious regular season action. I'm still sifting through responses (and chasing others) to find out how many Elimination Pool players we will have (starting next week) and how many second change Bowl pool players there will be (Remember, you have to announce your intentions now because everything is due by the end of September).
Main Pool Action
Well, there are two more games to close out this week's action as of Sunday afternoon. With those two remaining, a familiar face, with an unfamiliar name, sits atop the standings. Yes, "Shajawilsav" is none other than two-time Main pool champion Touchdown Timmy who clocked in with 15 correct picks through Saturday's action. Everyone but White Out hit double digits and I have faith that he will get there (ed note on Monday morning - oops). Good, solid debut for the entire BUCFP nation.
Pick of the Week
I simple don't care about WVU/Marshall or TAMU/SMU enough to include those games for award consideration so I'm giving pick of the week to....
Springfield Atoms, Hokeustheway, and White Out for taking Baylor.
Worst Pick of the Week
Sometimes I struggle with this one, but not this week. Two CLEAR winners here:
UTK'03 for taking Appy St. straight up over VT and Club Zartrump for doing the same with Florida Atlantic over the Gators
There's a lot more to come - this was only a brief update. Look for the following special interest articles to come over the course of this season:
"Mega Pool: My Flirtation with the SEC's Invite to Join a MEGAPOOL"
"Money Talks: The Day Kevin Shapiro Tried to Ply Me with a Yacht Full of Wendy's Baconators"
"The Day I Got to Remind Charlie Weiss that He Now Answers to a Guy that looks like he's 17 years old"
"Ohio State and the NCAA: Rules are Optional"
"The Terminator and JoePa: Ever Notice You Don't See Them in the Same Room at the Same Time?"
So what's new?
