Bronco Busting

Can the Broncos beat the Hokies to start another run at a BCS game, possibly even the title game? I'll find out at FedEx Field on Monday night. In the mean time, enjoy a few more college games here on Sunday (in the NFL's absence) and on Monday. Week 1 rankings will be posted following the Boise/VT game.

Cupcakes are delicious

...especially the ones from Red Velvet that I will enjoy on Saturday while watching DI-A power teams (yes, my alma mater included) make a mockery of scheduling by playing cupcake teams of their own. Sure, every so often an Appy State rises up to dethrown a Michigan. But the reality for most DI-AA teams is that they're just lambs for the slaughter. What have we seen already? Based on yesterday's games, here's some appalling numbers.

Average Victory Margin:
  • Home team: 22.39

  • Winning team: 24.72

  • DI-A over DI-AA: 30.73

  • AQ-Conference Team over DI-AA: 37.5

  • AQ-Conference Team over DI-A: 16.67


  • A couple notables:
  • Out of the 18 games (all hosted by a DI-A home team), the home team only lost 3 of them, and all 3 losses were to another DI-A team.

  • The smallest margin of victory, 1 point, was between 2 DI-A teams, neither of which belonged to an AQ conference.

  • 5 teams got blanked, losing by an average of 37 points.

  • Devil > God, as the Demon Deacons obliterated the Presbyterian Blue Hose. Shame on Wake for pummeling a team that went 0-11 last year without even playing a DI-A school.

  • Give Minnesota and Pitt credit for for scheduling not only an DI-A opponent, but agreeing to play in their stadium. Of course, Pitt was awarded a loss for their trouble, and Minny almost shared their fate in Murfreesboro. I'm not giving USC credit for playing Hawaii in Honolulu, because lets be serious, we'd all like to play our opening game on a tropical island with a rainbow overhead regardless of the opponent.
  • 2010-2010 Kickoff!

    Welcome back to my hundredths of thousands of readers. The 2010-11 season kicked off last night with some some boring blowouts, some slow starts that turned into blowouts, and a couple of exciting games. Nothing has changed this year in the way I'm computing rankings. I think the last couple years have been pretty successful in terms of identifying the upper crust, though there's probably still some room for improvement in using it as a predictor of future performance (if my annual bowl game prediction record is any indication). Anyway, lots of crazy plotlines this season with NCAA sanctions and investigations going down and several teams playing their last games in their current conferences. Next year is going to look a lot different, so enjoy this one while you can!
