BALLOTS - Week 8

EDITORS NOTE: Still feel odd.  Brain still not work want to make big word happen.  Still drink water and stare at screen.  Basically, I still feel like garbage.  I'll make things interesting soon.  And I'm starting to doubt it's swine flu and, no, I'm not hungover.  I think I just ate a bad, umm, piece of toast?

The BlogPoll Ballot is pretty cut and dry with very little contention amongst us Cuppers.

Star-divide

The SEC Power Poll, aside from where exactly to place Auburn and Kentucky was also pretty easy to ballotify.  Ivory Tower's snark is below.

  1. Alabama - Greg McElroy's 2009 season reminds me of what happens to Alka Seltzer (ed: I have no idea what in the hell you're trying to say here).
  2. Florida - Is this the part where the Almighty Tebow humbles himself so that he might be a great high priest for all those mediocre quarterbacks out there?
  3. LSU - Pride cometh, hopefully, before the fall.
  4. South Carolina - Zac Brown Band has a song about a dog named Pete - maybe a bloodhound, I don't know - that chases chickens around a redneck front dirt.  The music video will be filmed Satuday night at 7:45 in Knoxville.
  5. Ole Miss - Oh, hey there.  Just waking up?  Yep, it's almost November.  So, 'bout ready to take off your jammies, now?
  6. Tennessee - Corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top - soil's too rocky by far.  That's why folks on top of Rocky top get their dookie pounded in by gigantic black men from Alabama.
  7. Arkansas - After watching Ryan Mallet make beautiful throws all day long, his completion percentage (<40%) let me know just how many gassers the Razorback receivers need to run this week.
  8. Georgia - They didn't lose, did they?
  9. Auburn - Here's some irony for you:  it took a team coached by Les Miles to restore some sanity to the SEC West.
  10. Kentucky - Taking care of business against State will put the Wildcats in place to, potentially, finish their season in somewhere other than Shreveport, Memphis, or Nashville.
  11. State - Spread some of their fun to a dangerously regressed Florida offense.
  12. Vanderbilt - Someone called into the CSS program "Talkin' Football" and asked if Bobby Johnson's job was in trouble.  The answer:  no.  When you take Vanderbilt to a bowl game, your seat should be so averse to heat that even a two or three year SEC winless drought won't thaw out your butthole.

If your symptoms are mostly gastrointestinal, flu is less likely.

Still, Tamiflu early is a safe preemptive move. Get rid of those three week old leftovers in your frig.

I kid you not.

I ate pasta which was at least two weeks old last night. ARTiger, you devilish stalker you.

You're not the first person I've had to instruct on this.

Didn’t your mother teach you such things before college?

It ain’t so much the pasta, it’s the sauce!

By the way, have we successfully defended ranking Pitt ahead of West Virginia?

One loss teams in the Big East with no good wins to their name. Pitt’s loss is to NC State. W. Virginia’s loss is at Auburn. I think … I say I think that the latter is more impressive. But in our ballot, Pitt has 7 positions on WVU. That’s enough to make a brother want to burn a couch!

And on that subject please, please, pleeease explain to me how Pitt’s resume is more impressive than Houston’s because I don’t get it.
