    POLLitically Incorrect – 12/13/16

    There’s so much proof that rankings are meaningless, but they’re fun and give us a talking point. So here we are. Baylor, having the best resume of any team to date, has six first place votes while Kansas has none. You’d think that would be enough for them to be ranked ahead of KU, but […]

    NFL Week 14 Preview

    I’d like to thank Tom for covering for me again last week while I was a healthy scratch for the week. I’m happy to know that I have such a great team around me as we head into the last month of the season. The Cowboys clinched a playoff spot last week and a few […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 12/9/16

    Lesson learned, don’t bet against the Lions. I bet against them to win the NFC North, and bet a bit on the Saints to win straight up last week. The Eagles are the exact opposite – the Eagles are bad. It should have been expected in Carson Wentz’s rookie season, but their hot start and […]

    This week in the Group of Five – 12/7/16

    Conference champ weekend is always a good show, and this last weekend was no different. Western Michigan finally crossed their first finish line, winning the MAC championship in a tight game vs. Ohio U. Temple did what so many other teams could not and stopped Navy on their way to an American Conference championship. Arkansas […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 12/6/16

    Another week, another set of craptastic rankings. The biggest thing we learned from last week is that anything below 15 is basically a crap shoot every week. Why did they arbitrarily decide to stop the rankings at 25? Football ranks 25 teams and there’s only 128. There’s 351 in basketball, why not rank the top-50? […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 12/2/16

    I apologize to my friends in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m here to tell you all that betting on the Seahawks as heavily as I did, may have been the worst decision I’ve ever made. I joked on Twitter that they cost me a mortgage payment, but alas, I rent. Gamblers don’t have nice things […]

    This week in the Group of Five – 11/29/16

    Could last weekend have been any more intense in the Group of Five? Sure, the big schools pretty much behaved as expected, but the G5 teams were basically a swirling mass of insanity. Houston lost to Memphis. Boise lost to Air Force by lack of one yard. Navy hung 75 freaking points on SMU. Idaho […]

    We’re starting a new weekly college basketball piece here at TGS headquarters. Everyone sees the AP Rankings on Mondays and everyone seems to have their weekly gripes and complaints about why this team is better than this team, or “how can Team X be behind Team Y when Team X beat Team Y?” See how […]
