Select 17, Pre-Bowl Edition

Posted by Brett Kincaid on December 6, 2012

The regular season ended last weekend, and once again Alabama sits atop the Select 17 heading into the BCS Championship Game. Is it 2011 or 2012?

(Searching)

Yep, it’s 2012; the Razorbacks do not appear on the bowl schedule. Sad to say, for the first time since 2008 the Hogs are home for the holidays. The upside, of course, is that some smokin’ hot wife has a husband that wants to coach here. Enthusiasm is already surging throughout Razorback Nation, but we need to put a cap on this season before looking ahead to spring practice and kickoff against UL-Lafayette on August 31, 2013 – which is 267 days from now.

So back to the teams still playing…

If you ever wondered whether or not ESPN controls the world, go ahead and look at the BCS Championship Game. Alabama versus Notre Dame for all the marbles. Can you imagine two teams that mean more to the history of college football squaring off for the title? This game will KILL any previous record for ratings of a college football championship game. The Vatican may very well provide free ESPN for all American Catholics. The Alabama National Guard will likely run coax from border-to-border, stealing cable from their neighbors in Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia. (They won’t even try to get it from Mississippi for obvious reasons.)

Perhaps the price we pay for such a great matchup in the title game is a slate of crap for the rest of the bowl season. In total there may be 5 other games I care to watch. I will, of course, probably watch all or part of 90% of the games (aided by the fact that I’m on vacation during Bowl Week), but I will bitch about it all the while.

As for the final Select 17 rankings, you’ll find a theme that repeated itself all season show up once more. The SEC dominates the list, placing six teams in the rankings including three of the top four. We began the year with 5 SEC teams in the rankings with Alabama and LSU occupying the top 2 spots. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Thanksgiving Select 17

Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 21, 2012

It’s Thanksgiving Week, which means food, family, and football. It also means a very slow pace around the BlogHawgs.com world headquarters. In that spirit, here is our Select 17 poll. It’s actually a bit interesting this week with the 2nd place team receiving for first place votes than the team actually rated #1 for the week. How’d that happen? Suffice it to say that we have one voter how is very unimpressed by Notre Dame.

Happy Thanksgiving to BlogHawgs Nation. I hope all 10 of you have a great weekend.

Select 17, Week 12

Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 12, 2012

Texas A&M simultaneously pulled off its biggest win as a member of the SEC and former member of the Big XII last weekend. The Aggies and redshirt freshman superstar quarterback Johnny Manziel rocked the college football world by beating then-#1 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. In doing so they cleared the path for Kansas State to play in the BCS Championship Game. All the Wildcats have to do is take care of business this weekend at Baylor then at home against a resurgent Texas Longhorns team two days after Thanksgiving. Kansas State emerged as the #1 team in the latest BCS standings, but they have to settle for the #2 spot in most polls – including this week’s BlogHawgs.com Select 17, where Oregon reigns supreme after picking up 6 of the 9 first place votes.

The Ducks looked strong once again on Saturday at Cal. They host Stanford this weekend in another late-season test. The Civil War awaits Oregon the following week, then a date in the Pac-12 Championship Game against either UCLA or USC. Meanwhile Notre Dame responded to its lackluster performance last week against Pittsburgh by knocking off Boston College on the road. The Irish head back home to take on Wake Forest this weekend before ending its regular season in the Coliseum against Southern Cal. Notre Dame has won ugly – key word, won – but will be tested by the Trojan offensive machine.

The SEC has six teams in this week’s BCS top 10 but none of them in the top three. Two teams have to lose before the SEC champion can realistically get a shot a seventh straight BCS crown. All three teams ahead of Alabama and Georgia (also sitting with one loss and a spot secured in the SECCG) have challenging games remaining, and one slip up could open the door just enough for the nation’s most powerful conference to once again appear in the last college football game of the season.

To the numbers…

Blog Hawgs Twitter Style College Football Weekend Preview–11/9/12

Posted by Adam Butler on November 9, 2012

It’s Week 10. Thank the College Football Gods. This will all be over, soon. Let’s just pretend it never happened, OK?

As a Hogs fan, how bad has 2012 been? So bad that this column has been the highlight of my season.

The only rules for this column are that the fake user names can’t be longer than 15 characters (but may or may not be registered, already), the Tweets cannot exceed 140 characters, and I have to end each one with a smarmy hash tag. Here we go:

Louisville at Syracuse:  @Charlie$trong: With each Cardinals win, their head coach is earning an offer he might not be able to refuse #Loyalville?

Northwestern at Michigan: @TheBIGHouse: If you cut Brady Hoke, he bleeds Maize & Blue. #thecornsnotthecolors.

Louisiana-Lafayette at Florida: @La-La: The Ragin’ Cajuns vs. a Ragin’ Caucasian. #BattleoftheSwampPeople

Arkansas at South Carolina: @Payback: Arkansas is  3-0 against USCE by a 118-64 margin since 2009. #IMissEllisJohnsonalready.

Missouri at Tennessee: @DesTROYDGB: The Vols gave up 476 more yards to Troy LAST WEEK than Mizzou ”can’t miss” WR Dorial Green-Beckham has gained ALL SEASON. #&5moreTDs

Oregon St. at Stanford: @Eldrick: Cardinal alum Tiger Woods flew straight to Palo Alto when he heard the Beavers were coming to town. #hemustlovefootball

Georgia at Auburn: @AllIn: Auburn waited 54 years for a National Championship and 22 months to fire the head coach who won it. #HCBuyersBeware

Select 17, Week 11

Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 6, 2012

The road to football Armageddon has been cleared thanks to late game heroics by Alabama and Notre Dame, a gritty home win by Kansas State, and a dominant offensive road performance by Oregon. As noted last week, all four teams have limited challenges remaining. This week, though, Bama has a suddenly tough game against Texas A&M and their high-powered offense. How will the Tide respond after an emotional win in Baton Rouge? Notre Dame travels to Chestnut Hill to face Boston College in the Catholic Bowl. Will their luck finally run out this weekend after two near/should-have-been losses at home in the past month? Kansas State hits the road this week to take on TCU, which has struggled quite a bit in its first season as a member of the Big XII. And Oregon hits the road again, this time heading to Berkeley to take on an unraveling Cal team.

If Alabama was playing on the road again this week, I’d be tempted to call for the Aggie upset. They run a completely different offense than Bama has seen this year and are playing with a ton of confidence right now. I’ll take the Aggies and 2 touchdowns (the line is currently Bama -13.5) but Bama to win. Notre Dame hasn’t looked very good offensively, but Boston College is pretty bad. The Irish should get to 10-0 this weekend. Kansas State needs to watch out for a road letdown,  but TCU’s defense – usually its strength – is one of the worst in the country this year. Bill Snyder should pick up another road win in his magical season back in Manhattan. Oregon looks to be the safest bet for a win, even if it’s on the road. The Ducks gave up a ton of points to Southern Cal, but they can easily score enough to beat a 3-7 California team with what most believe is a lame duck coach.

Georgia made up a lot of ground this weekend, narrowing the gap between them and Notre Dame to just one point in our poll. The Bulldogs play their annually rivalry game with Auburn this week, needing only a win against the pathetic War Damn Eagle Tigers to cinch the SEC East. A Bulldog win coupled with another lackluster Irish performance against a lousy team could knock Notre Dame down to a peg despite their undefeated record. Despite having 4 teams in the Top Ten, the SEC is just one Alabama loss from being a long shot to play for its 7th consecutive BCS championship.

To the numbers…

Rank Team Votes LW
1 Alabama (9) 153 1

Blog Hawgs Twitter Style College Football Weekend Preview–11/2/12

Posted by Adam Butler on November 2, 2012

My therapist says I should keep writing the Blog Hawgs Twitter Style College Football Weekend Preview.

He thinks it’s helping me cope with the Hogs’ Season of Discontent. I’m skeptical.

Next week I am supposed to work on no longer displacing my anger onto John L. Smith. My shrink agrees that the Hogs would at least be a more palatable 5-3 (ULM, Mississippi) if Paul Petrino had been a merely competent Offensive Coordinator this season. In the meantime, he says venting is healthy.

Who am I to go against doctor’s orders?

Select 17, Week 10

Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 30, 2012

Are we really entering the 10th week of college football? My, my time drags when you’re not having any fun at all. I feel like the season should be over by now. After their second Little Rock meltdown of the season, it appears the 2012 Arkansas Razorbacks feel about the same way. Sitting at 3-5 with four games left on the schedule, Arkansas needs to win at least three games against Tulsa, South Carolina, Mississippi State, and LSU in order to even qualify for a bowl game this year. The Hogs will certainly be sizable underdogs at Columbia and Starkville, and again at home against LSU the day after Thanksgiving. Arkansas is actually laying 7 points at home this week to Tulsa (any takers?), but winning any of the other games would be considered an upset by anyone. The point: Arkansas will very likely miss a bowl game for the first time since 2008. The Hogs also missed post-season play in 2004, got to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2000 (losing it to finish with a 6-7 record), and missed bowl games in 1996 and 1992. Presidential election years have not been kind to the Razorbacks.

Other teams – like Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State, and Notre Dame – have no such problems. All four remain unbeaten this year, and all four could definitely end the season undefeated. The Crimson Tide and Ducks both face big challenges this weekend, though. Alabama must travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU, while the Ducks fly south to take on Southern Cal. The Fighting Irish is on let-down alert when they host Pitt on Saturday afternoon, while Kansas State has revenge on its mind Saturday night when Oklahoma State comes to the Little Apple.

Kansas State has the easiest path to perfection. If they can get past Okie State this weekend, they have road games left against TCU and Baylor, and Texas in Manhattan to end the season. After this weekend Notre Dame has a similarly weak field ahead of it with only a road trip to Southern Cal the real danger along with dates against Boston College and Wake Forest on its schedule.

The current #1 and #2 in the Select 17 poll have the most difficult schedules remaining. If Bama passes a huge test this weekend, they get a dangerous Texas A&M squad before slowing down with Western Carolina and Auburn before the SEC Championship Game – against either Georgia or Florida. Oregon plays three times on the road in the final four weeks. They’re at USC this weekend, then at Cal, home for Stanford, and at Oregon State for the annual Civil War. If they survive that schedule, they plan the Pac-12 Championship Game, likely against Southern Cal (again) or UCLA.

As you have probably realized at this point, the two teams with the clearest paths to Miami both avoid a conference championship game. If both Notre Dame and Kansas State finish undefeated, you can bet a one-loss SEC or Pac-12 champion will not make the BCS Championship Game – to the delight of many and murderous rage of many more. The good news, at least for people like me, is that this nonsense all comes to an end in the 2014 season when the 4-team playoff format finally helps college football settle its business on the field.

Select 17, Week 9

Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 22, 2012

College football took a bit of a breather last week. After a frenetic two weeks, the favorites held serve over the weekend, leading to very few changes in the polls. The Select 17 held steady with a few exceptions – most notably South Carolina falling from 3rd to 8th to Unranked in a matter of three weeks. With Cocky‘s fall Texas Tech and (future Razorback head coach?) Tommy Tubberville find their way into the poll. And while the Top Four didn’t change this week, it’s worth noting how the voting has tightened. Oregon is no longer a consensus Number Two with now only 5 poll points separating the Ducks, Kansas State, and Florida.

The coming weekend promises to shake things up a bit, though, especially in the SEC. Mississippi State visits Tuscaloosa in a surprise battle for SEC West supremacy. The winner of that game will completely control its own destiny. Florida heads to the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party this weekend in Jacksonville to take on Georgia. The winner of this game will be in the driver’s seat for the SEC East title. Does anyone else think we’ll see at least one very controversial call in each game that benefits the Tide and the Gators?

As for Arkansas, the Razorbacks take on Mississippi this weekend. The Hogs hope a week off helped heal some of the walking wounded without sacrificing the momentum they gained the past two weeks on both sides of the ball. We’re still a month away from seeing Arkansas back in the rankings, but stranger things have happened. By mid-afternoon Saturday we’ll have a pretty good sense of whether or not this team has finally found its stride.

To the rankings!

Select 17, Week 8

Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 15, 2012

The more things change, the more things stay the same. While the S17 looks quite different in most spots this week, #1 Alabama and #2 Oregon continue to reign supreme. Once again the Crimson Tide swept up all 9 first place votes, extending their streak to 7 consecutive weeks as the consensus Number One team in all of college football. With an off week the Ducks held steady as a unanimous #2 selection. With losses by South Carolina and West Virginia - and boy howdy, what a loss – the rest of the Top Ten saw significant changes. Kansas State‘s road win at Norman looks more and more impressive after the Sooners gashed Texas in the Red River Rivalry Rout on Saturday. Meanwhile traditional powers Florida and Notre Dame moved into discussion as legitimate national title contenders. Out west, Oregon State remains unbeaten and Southern Cal continues its march back to BCS discussion.

While we’re still several wins away from it happening, Arkansas finally looked like a preseason Top Ten team this weekend. If this offense – and more importantly, defense – continue to show up each week, the Hogs may end the season back in the rankings. The teams that have beaten Arkansas have a combined record of 21-3, and those three losses came by a combined total of 11 points. While the Hogs have no claim of being an elite team, we can take some solace in knowing all the losses have come to accomplished football teams.

Without further ado, your Week 8 Select 17 college football poll:

Select 17 – Week 7

Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 9, 2012

Huge changes in this week’s Select 17 poll here at BlogHawgs.com. Alabama and Oregon continue to control their own destinies, but now we can add South Carolina and Florida to that list – along with Kansas State and West Virginia – while removing LSU and Florida State. This was the first big weekend of major upsets, although Florida over LSU is just a marginal one on paper. The big winner, though, was clearly West Virginia. The Mountaineers went into Austin, Texas, and took out the bluest of the blue bloods in their first Big XII road game. Geno Smith, fresh off his video game-like performance against Baylor, cemented his status as Heisman Trophy front runner while Mount Pleasant (IA) High School graduate Dana Holgorson has emerged as the “next big thing” coach in America. Jeff Long, please take note.

And let’s keep an eye on Oregon State. The Beavers have ripped off two conference road wins in addition to knocking out Wisconsin in an early preseason game. After a punchy Wazzou visits this weekend, they go to Provo to take on an injured BYU squad before hosting Utah the following week. If Oregon State can navigate those three and avoid a let down, they would travel to Washington at the end of October as an unbeaten Top Five team. Could it be that Pac-12 football is alive and well? With the Ducks, Oregon State, and Southern Cal all occupying spots in the Select 17 this week and Stanford knocking on the door, even us Southern boys appear to be impressed with West Coast football this season.
