    I’m counting four votes for TCU and three for Ok St. Did I err in my math?

  8. Chas says

    December 12, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    I must have missed one of the TCUs. You’re right, 4-3. Good…no controversy.

    Since I seem to get called out on this website every week – time for me to call out Chas. What the hay? Not enough going on in MLB that we can’t get a Hot Stove article?

    Or are you too busy reading up on your WAI books in an attempt to defend your crown??

    Did something happen in baseball this week, Smitty?

    Regarding the WAI, you guys are the ones who are obsessed with beating me. You won’t even let me out of this thing due to a scheduling conflict.

    Sorry guys, but Buffalo beat a highly rated, previously undefeated team on a neutral field- and I am over an HOUR away from Buffalo. There.

  14. Chas says

    I’m kind of curious why almost everyone ranks Boise State ahead of Utah?

  15. crossword pete says

    Good question Chas. I did because of the bowl win over Oklahoma a few years ago. Different cast, same coach. I didn’t forget that performance. On the other hand, Utah used to be Urban Meyer (who turned down ND) and Alex Smith, who can’t make it in the NFL. For those reasons, I am leery of Utah.
