Ohio State Sucks

But don't get too cocky, Pac-10. You suck only slightly less than Ohio State.

Explanation of rankings

The Buckeyes are the villain who refuses to die at the end of every poorly made horror movie. They can be scary at times, but they're always defeated by a bunch of crafty teenagers who actually decide to stand up to the villain and fight back, usually by impaling it through the eye with a rusty spike. Of course, the villain never goes down after the first rusty spike to the eye. He has to get up one last time to scare the kids, who ultimately finish him in an even more heinous manner (tossed into an industrial paper shredder, for example).

Remember Hostel? The L.A. Coliseum probably looked like this to the Bucks last night.


But enough about that. Let's discuss the rankings. BYU shoots to the top of the rankings this week after no doubt converting the entire UCLA team to Mormonism. Wake Forest continues to inexplicably rise to the top of the rankings, and three Big Ten teams decided to crash the rankings party. The big story this week is BCS Busters, which we have at #1, #13, #15, #18, and #22. We'll see if they continue to hold onto those spots as we progress into the season. Once LSU actually plays a team with a winning record, they might actually make it into the rankings.

• TheTraveling the Longest Distance to Get Your Ass Handed to You Award goes to North Dakota State. Just kidding. It's Ohio State.
• The Oops, I Shit the Bed Award goes to Arizona State, for bowing out of the Top 25 in spectacularly pathetic fashion several weeks before it's regularly scheduled to do so. Thanks in advance for ruining that whole Georgia game next week.
  
• The How the Hell Did We Get to a Bowl Game Last Year?!? Award goes to Virginia, who continued their dominance of the CFB basement by losing to Connecticut 45-10.
• The Two Years of Success Can't Erase Centuries of Suck Award goes to Rutgers, who were embarrassed 44-12 at home in prime time by a school where football is perhaps the fourth most popular sport.
• The I Will Make You Pay for Years of Frustration Award goes to Gary Pinkel and Mizzou for brutalizing Nevada 69-17. A fake FG when you're up 45-17? Jesus, Gary... you don't have to embarrass, destroy, and piss on your opponents.
