NCAA Top 25 - Week 3

Sorry about last week. I was on vacation...from most everything.

So here you go...so fresh and so clean.

Top 25

1. Ohio State (3-0) – A complete team in spite of its nine new defensive players. Their balance is frightening, but their schedule could end even more difficult than it began…Watch out for Michigan.

2. West Virginia (3-0) – Their schedule has been light, but Ralph Friegen isn’t. The truth is it will continue to be light until Nov. 2 when they square off against a determined and very legit Louisville squad.

3. Louisville (3-0) – This team mauled Miami, and that still means something when you consider Miami’s defensive speed and talent. Louisville is for real and in a nothing conference who happens to be playing their conference championship on Nov. 2. Losing Brohm is a serious hit, but if their frosh back-up keeps throwing like Peyton Manning, it may end up not being so bad.

4. Auburn (3-0) – Big win in a defensive game—even if they had some help from the referees. The Tigers are gaining momentum, but can they outlast the grueling SEC?

5. USC (3-0) – More workman-like than last year, but still very good. They still could be tested by conference foes California and Oregon, if the defensive secondary continues to make mental mistakes.

6. Florida (3-0) – Great win in a hostile environment against a good opponent. This team is limited to half its offensive potential because Leak won’t run, but still is very solid.

7. Michigan (3-0) – After a dominant win over Notre Dame, in which this team looked balanced and strong in every facet of the game, it is hard not to simply give them the #1 spot, but time will tell if this year is the year the Wolverines let everyone else know that they are back.

8. Iowa (3-0) – This is a great team with Drew Tate and a mediocre team without him. If he stays healthy, they still have a good shot at the big 10 title.

9. Notre Dame (2-1) – A loss is bad enough, but a loss in which you look completely inept is simply inexcusable. Not only is this team mortal, but this team may miss the BCS if they manage to lose to USC and BC.

10. Texas (2-1) – All is not lost…Oklahoma lost out of conference too.

11. Clemson (2-1) – Proctor looked good and FSU looked really predictable. Great win in a tough environment.

12. Oregon (3-0) – Awesome comeback against what was supposed to be a good defense. Oregon is going to be dangerous down the stretch because they are a track meet team—they score in bunches and fast, but can’t stop anyone.

13. Florida State (2-1) – Heartbreaking loss on a bonehead defensive play. They weren’t out-coached, or out-schemed, they were out-hustled at the end. The offense is getting predictable though, and that means the heat will be on Bowden to relieve his son of the play calling, which won’t happen…hard place meet rock, rock meet hard place. I’ll just hang out between you guys…awesome.

14. LSU (2-1) – A tough loss that revealed three things about your team: 1) you have a serious defense. 2) Apparently you can challenge pass interference calls like Auburn did. 3) Jamarcus Russell is not that bright—at least try for the endzone genius.

15. Arkansas (2-1) – Struggling against Vandy is not so impressive, but think about this…Vandy takes Michigan to the third quarter in a tight game, Vandy pushes Alabama to the fourth quarters, Vandy pushes Arkansas to the very end of the game. Maybe Vandy is finally good enough to be tough to beat but not good enough to win close games.

16. Georgia (3-0) – Keeps winning. Keeps climbing.

17. Virginia Tech (3-0) – Beating the crap out of Duke is not that impressive, but it is fun to watch.

18. Tennessee (2-1) – Losses are hard to swallow, but that one must be excruciating. You didn’t play badly, but you didn’t play well enough to put them away.

19. TCU (3-0) – Beating Texas Tech is not impossible. Holding their offense to 3 points is almost unbelievable. This year, the BCS will have to make room for this team—too many wins in a row to continually be ignored.

20. Oklahoma (2-1) – Last second losses always hurt, especially when refs blow a last second call (just ask LSU). Either way, the offense looks great and the defense looks very average. But that’s not how it was supposed to be, right.

21. Boston College (3-0) – This team can play with anyone, which is a nice way of saying they play up or down to the level of their opponent, which is a nice way of saying they have no defense and are inconsistent.

22. Alabama (3-0) – If this team starts playing both halves, they could be dangerous. Look for a statement game against Arkansas this week to be their first real test.

23. Rutgers (3-0) – The birthplace of college football just may be starting to keep some of its NJ talent from running to Florida. Rice has looked phenomenal in an awesome start for the Scarlet Knights.

24. California (2-1) – It looked sloppy, but it’s a win.

25. Penn State (2-1) – Time to grow up. The cupcakes are gone and Ohio State is hosting you this week. Good luck Blue Cats.


Enjoy your day.

TGIM...celebrate with the Link of the Week.

Buenos Dias, mis quesolitos.

To start your week off best I thought I could simply let you know how blessed you are to not be this guy.

worst bike accident ever

I'll be honest. He is really hurt. His friends know it. But his buddies keep the camara going anyway. As a matter of fact, tehre are way too many camaras in this.

Plan for the rest of his life:

1. get to the hospital.

2. get new friends.

3. get a new hobby.


Oh, by the way, I am back from a week off, so I will be updating regularly this week. Went to see my mum. It was good. Also saw my brother. It was fair. Just kidding, it was also good.

"Family: sometimes it's okay!"
(that phrase said with a wink and a nod while giving a hearty thumbs up as if in a commercial)

God save the Cheese...and that bike guy.

The Most Wonderful Baby In the World

Dearest quesolitos, I have not yet posted any shots of my wonderful wife and her growing baby-belly...

I know that you are dying to see, so here you go:

TMWWITW around 2 1/2 months






















TMWWITW around 4 months
























I will update with the 5 1/2 month shot soon, that is next week.

Cool Stuff, but I know that I am in over my head.

NCAA FOOTBALL TOP 25 - Week 1

Okay, friends of the Cheese. With our first weekend of college football under our belts (and our belts a little tighter because of the food that came with this weekend), we can more accurately see the landscape. So here you go, my weekly top 25:



1. Notre Dame (1-0) – So Notre Dame is not invincible, but they are still very good. The defense looked really solid, too. Still, a tough schedule may be their undoing.

2. Texas (1-0) – The Texas scout defense is a better opponent than North Texas for Colt McCoy, but he still looked very capable. Of course with that much talent around you, who wouldn’t? This week’s matchup with Ohio State is likely for a trip to the national championship game.

3. West Virginia (1-0) – WV looks like they will be just fine this year on both sides of the ball after thrashing an admittedly down Marshall squad. Slaton looks like he may try for the single season TD record. Not having to face Lousiville’s Bush makes them an even stronger choice to play in the title game.

4. Ohio State (1-0) – The offense was great, but the defense softened a little too early and Wolfe gave them too much trouble at RB last week against NIU. Still, this team will only get better as the year goes on. If they can upset Texas this weekend, they could be a mainstay at the top this year.

5. USC (1-0) – Yes, they won 50-14, but this game was 16-7 at the end of the first half. That means that they are deeper than Arkansas (scoring their last 28 in the waning minutes of the third and in the fourth quarter), but where was the punch in the mouth offense that put up 28 on eight plays. They are solid, but they are beatable, especially without their top DB.

6. Florida State (1-0) – FSU brought a dominant defense into the Orange Bowl and absolutely put Miami in lockdown in the second half. Team speed is unbelievable, and Drew Weatherford looked like he found himself in this game. The Seminoles are for real this year, but still need to find a solid running game.

7. Iowa (1-0) – QB Tate looked good as Iowa proved they have the weapons to hang with anybody. Still, a tough schedule, but at least they play OSU at home.

8. Florida (1-0) – The Gators looked strong, but did they look as strong as Tennessee? Only one of their RBs reached more than 50 yards (Harvin had 58). Not good enough for better opponents.

9. Auburn (1-0) – Kenny Irons is a man. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. This team is a contender in the SEC.

10. Louisville (1-0) – Losing Bush for the year hurts, but as long as Brohm is healthy this team has a real shot. I still put them second in this conference behind WVU though.

11. Clemson (1-0) – This game was over before it started, and perhaps the only newsworthy item is that Whitehurst’s replacement (Will Proctor is his name) threw well for 3 TDs and only 1 INT.

12. Miami (0-1) – Late mistakes and a lack of care for the football cost the Canes a close one against their rival FSU. The defense is so fast that they will hang with anyone. As I said “the Canes are certainly a top 25 team, but not necessarily a top 10 team.”

13. Oregon (1-0) – Nothing like opening up in conference play…especially when you get 535 yards of offense. Defense looked sketchy, but a win is a win, unless you are Oklahoma, in which case this win was a loss.

14. Arkansas (0-1) – You would think that a 17-50 loss would drop this team from ranked, but not when most of it came late against super-deep USC. This defense plays with heart and skill, in spite of six turnovers by the offense. If this team can hold onto the ball, this team can compete in the SEC west.

15. LSU (1-0) – JaMarcus Russell looked solid throwing for 3 TDs and 300+ yards. Of course, most of us could do that against he Ragin’ Cajuns. Still, a good showing.

16. Tennessee (1-0) – UT really surprised me as they were able to return to the vertical passing/hard running combo of old. So why couldn’t David Cutcliffe win at Ole Miss? Anyways…Okay, I’ll say it…Ainge looked good at QB. Solid Upset.

17. Oklahoma (1-0) – Oklahoma is beatable—apparently even by mediocre teams like UAB. Peterson looked pretty good, but Thompson at QB does not make this team great (although it is not his fault).

18. Michigan (1-0) – This game was very close until the third. Not good enough Michigan. Not good enough.

19. Nebraska (1-0) – Nebraska won their opener and can be proud. They can also rest easy knowing that apparently a peewee league squad could roadhouse Colorado.

20. Georgia (1-0) – The D looked good holding the Hilltoppers (WKU) to less than 2 yards per carry. There is a QB debate, but this team is still pretty good.

21. California (0-1) – One word: Tackling. They should try it. Tennessee absolutely embarrassed them. It also didn’t help that their already tentative QB (broken leg ended last season in his first game) had to play in rocky top for his first full game. It apparently affected his vision mistaking Vol orange for Cal white.

22. Alabama (1-0) – Despite having two TDs overturned (one sketchy, one not), the Tide and their suspect secondary shut held down the run ‘n’ shoot offense of Hawaii long enough to post a win.

23. TCU (1-0) – TCU keeps winning. Of course, TCU keeps playing Baylor.

24. Virginia Tech (1-0) – Glennon looked stellar at QB and Tech rolls over a cupcake.

25. Penn State (1-0) – Morelli looks strong at QB and Penn State looks strong all over. They have a brutal first five weeks, but this team is really good.

Notable mention: Gerogia Tech, Arizona State

Hall of shame: Duke lost to Richmond, Colorado lost to Montana St.


Well, that should do it. Stay happy, people.

God save the Cheese.
