PCS

This week in the PCS, there is a new sheriff in town as Florida assumes the top spot by barely edging out last week's number one Alabama by .10 points. A ton of turmoil this week as upsets populated the college landscape. Welcome Iowa, Houston, Georgia, Oregon, and Kansas. Say good bye to Penn St, Miami (FL), California, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Here are the pairings.

1. Florida vs 16. Kansas

4. Boise St vs 13. Ohio St

5. LSU vs 12. Houston

3. Texas vs 14. Georgia

After 3 weeks of the topsy turvy NFL Season. I'd like to check in on some my bold predictions that I made before the season. I located 4 teams I thought would improve and 4 that would slide.

Sliders
Tennessee Titans 0-3
Carolina Panthers 0-3
Baltimore Ravens 3-0
Miami Dolphins 0-3

Improvers
New York Jets 3-0
San Francisco 49ers 2-1
Seattle Seahawks 1-2
Cincinnati Bengals 2-1

I was flat wrong on the Ravens, but pretty dead on the other 3. the reason I picked these 4 were there margins of error to win games was too small. Flacco taking a leap in his second season has helped the Ravens avoid the pitfalls of the other 3. I think you can see the similarities between the teams. They run the ball and play good defense. Sometimes you can overachieve for a season but the following one you normally are not quite as lucky.


On the improvers. I loved the Jets off season. Knew they be force still remains to be seen if they can get to 10 wins though. The 49ers were so improved over the second half of the season and play in a week division. Seattle, just felt with Hasselbeck they would solidify, was wrong there. Cincinnati is too talented, and due for some good breaks.

Overall I think nailing 3 of 4 in each category was respectable.

Feel free to send in your first quarter suprises and disappointments.

Weekend Pickoff

Last week went 3-3. Record for season is 7-5. Couple of close calls. But I digress. It's time for the picks.

Houston (-1) over Texas Tech

Like Houston at home against another B 12 team that throws the ball a lot.

Miami (-3) over Virginia Tech

Miami just too athletic for Tech, They always have problems with athletic teams.

Cincinnati (-16) over Fresno St.

I'm riding with Bearcats and Tony Pike until they lose. Love Brian Kelly the coach. Fresno won't be able to run like that on this D.

Minnesota (-7) over San Francisco

Not buying SF yet. Big time belief Minn will be in NFC Title game. SF coming to the MW after 2 wins. Poised for a let down.

Chicago (-2) over Seattle.

Seneca Wallace vs Jay Cutler. I'm going with Cutler

New York Giants (-6.5) over Tampa Bay

Looks like Eli got some new toys. He's using them. TB's D is a mess.

The first PCS pairings have been completed. There are only 4 computer rankings currently so I only used those. They are still a bit screwy. I did not change the formula. If you need an explanation or the excel sheet I will provide. Here are the top 16.

1. Alabama vs 16. North Carolina
8. Miami (FL) vs 9. Cincinnati
4. LSU vs 13. TCU
5. California vs 12. Oklahoma
3. Florida vs 14. Virginia Tech
6. Boise St vs 11. USC
2. Texas vs 15. Ohio St
7. Penn St vs 10. Mississippi
