First Annual Sports Amnesia College Football Top Ten Poll

In the spirit of uselessness and random arbitration of team talent, Sports Amnesia hereby unleashes its first NCAA Football Top Ten Poll of the season.

1. Oklahoma (1-0) defeated Bowling Green 40-24
2. Florida State (0-0) washed out by hurricane (not a good sign against Miami)
3. UVA (1-0) defeated Temple 44-14
4. USC (1-0) defeated VA Tech 24-13
5. Georgia (1-0) defeated GA Southern 48-28
6. California (1-0) defeated Air Force 56-14
7. Michigan (1-0) defeated Miami OH 41-10
8. Texas (1-0) defeated North Texas 65-0
9. Miami (0-0) washed out by Hurricane (fitting for the Hurricanes)
10. Purdue (1-0) defeated Syracuse 51-0
10. Minnesota (1-0) defeated Toledo 63-21

Rules are: you don't go down if you don't lose. If everyone stays undefeated, everyone keeps their place. Their is no such thing as an unimpressive victory, just as their is no such thing as an impressive loss - the both count for one digit in the win or loss column and comparing apples and oranges and team schedule strength, etc., is a load of rubbish that Sports Amnesia will not consider in its poll.

Now that the massive idiot Kevin Brown has broken his left hand, it leads you to think perhaps the Yankees are better off without him in the postseason. After all, if you look at the following numbers from July to the present, you get the following:

1. Kevin Brown 3-3, 7GS, 45.6 IP, 42H, 18ER, 15BB, 32K 3.55 ERA
2. El Duque 6-0, 10 GS, 58.1 IP, 48H, 17ER, 25BB, 62K, 2.62 ERA
3. J Lieber 5-3, 11 GS, 74 IP, 83H, 32ER, 12BB, 47K, 3.89 ERA

El Duque is flat out pitching better than Kevin Brown and Lieber eats more innings just as effectively, giving the bullpen a break. Either is more valuable to the Yankees rotation than Kevin Brown.

Sidney Ponson of the Orioles, 0-6 with a 6.46 ERA in June that dropped him to 3-11 on the season.
Sidney Ponson of the Orioles, 6-2 since, with 10 GS, 66.2 IP, 77 H, 35 ER, 23 BB, 43K - now a pitcher rather than a power pitcher. If he'd have been this consistent all season, the O's might have had themselves a slightly more interesting season.

I'm rooting for the Mets' losing streak to keep working wonders for the Anti-Art movement. The way I see it, the more humiliated the Mets are, the more likely the Idiot Collective is to disregard whatever $5 million payout for Howe, fire him, and then, well, we'll have to see, perhaps hire the RIGHT manager this time.
