Is this year proof that there should not be a preseason poll?

if you look at the preseason poll out of the top twenty teams in the preseason. 8 teams are no longer ranked if you include Louisville who will definatly be out of the polls. The only really way people rank teams really is based on prestige I mean how is it florida state gets ranked after going 6-6 last year.


Answer
The 2007 college football season is a third over in most bastions as schools look to wrap up regular-season campaigns by the Thanksgiving holidays if not before.

Professional Handicappers League member Jimmy Boyd notes certain characteristics have emerged as clubs move toward the defining month of October and bowl talk transforms into more than mere speculation.

Boyd espouses pretty much of a what-you-see-is-what-youre-going-to-get attitude though others look down the road and anticipate a few surprises especially some involving what currently are perceived as upper-echelon Top 25 squads -- though there doesnt appear to be much room for alterations at the very top.

USC LSU defending national champion Florida and Oklahoma rule the roost one through four in this weeks USA Today poll although the gambling specific BGS ower Ratings have LSU USC & Oklahoma tied up in the 1 spot with Florida a distant 4th.

Most college observers believe the top 4 arent likely to change.

An alaphabet soup BCS Championship isnt etched in stone by any means but it might not be too early for sponsors of the New Orleans national championship game to line up Campbells as a major sponsor in anticipation of a meeting between the Trojans and Tigers.

Ive said this before and Ill say it again Boyd declared.

Its a top-heavy year in college football.

The teams at or near the top will remain there all season with very few others making surprise runs.

One encounter garnering media attention this weekend is the Friday night Big East affair between No. 5 West Virginia and No. 18 South Florida.

Canadian PHL member Steve Zukiel regards it as the weeks most appealing matchup.

Im very interested Zukiel said.

Wow.

Boyd offered similar sentiments.

West Virginia-South Florida is a very big game in the Big East he said.

The South Florida Bulls won at Auburn to show they could be for real.

They ARE the sleeper pick in the Big East.

West Virginia is never quite as good on the road.

This game either will keep South Floridas hopes of a Big East championship alive or it will keep West Virginias hopes of a national title alive.

After the BCS title tilt the Rose Bowl traditionally draws the most interest among holiday bowl offerings.

Observers hardily have maligned the Big Ten largely because of early-season woes in Ann Arbor.

The current USA Today poll however includes five conference teams among its Top 25: Ohio State Wisconsin Purdue Michigan State and Penn State though Michigan State for example has racked up a 4-0 record against teams such as Notre Dame that pack about as much muscle as Spongebob Squarepants!

Five time World Champion Handicapper and Professional Handicappers League Commissioner Brian Gabrielle has four Big Ten teams among the leading 25 and drops Penn State all the way down to 41st.

He has Michigan State 25th and Michigan 52nd in contrast Zukiel still regards UM as a Top 5 team.

They still can win the Big 10 championship still smell the roses Zukiel said.

Gabrielle has Ohio State ranked fifth nationally Wisconsin ninth and Purdue 17th.

This The BGS Power Ratings takes everything into account not just the results of one game i.e. Michigan over Penn St but all games against all opponents Gabrielle said.

I know Michigan fans are frustrated and looking for something to grab on to but it doesnt help Michigan that Penn State is not a Top 25 team in The BGS Power Ratings so the win really loses luster.

East Coast PHL handicapper Bill Fishman still gives the Wolverines a shot at a cherished Big Ten championship.

I feel Michigan is still a very talented team and one that should be reckoned with for the Big Ten title Fishman said.

Michigan was my top play this week as a dog win over Penn State.

Im still not a huge fan of the Big Ten but Ohio State is quick and talented on defense.

Boyd believes uncertainty surrounding the Midwest loop traditionally among the countrys strongest could actually prove to be a boon as each game takes on added significance.

Theres no doubt the Big Ten is down. he said.

Michigan did what it needed to do to stay in the hunt by taking care of business at home against the Lions.

That win gets them believing again without a doubt.

Wisconsin or Ohio State appears to have the inside track.

Right now it looks like its going to be a sloppy ride.

I dont see anyone running the table and home field advantage in big matchups will be crucial.

Why is the Fairly Odd Parents not showing new episodes?

I'm watching the Kids Choice Awards, and saw Cosmo. The thought came to me that there hasn't been many knew episodes of it in a long time. I just looked up the show and it showed a whole bunch of episodes from season 7 and season 8 with a few random episodes in the middle that took place in February including the first episode of season 8(o_O) and a movie set to release this summer. Does anyone know why those shows have yet to air yet?


Answer
The Fairly Odd Parents was an animated TV series of 2001. Fairly Odd parenst was originally on Oh Yeah Cartoons (Oh Yeah Cartoons is a TV series on Nick from 1998), The Fairly Odd parents became it's own series in March 2001. Remember the FOP epsidoes from Oh Yeah Cartoons used to be in the actual show, back in mid 2001, and seen in late 2001 through mid 2003. I remember when FOP episodes from Oh Yeah Cartoons, I can't believe that they got rid of those episodes and didn't even show them again. They need to put those episodes back into the actual show. There is still the undubbed version of FOP on Oh Yeah Cartoons, and the redubbed version of the FOP episodes from Oh Yeah Cartoons needs to but back on the actual FOP show. The episodes with Poof are garbage.

The Fairly Odd Parents is the same with SpongeBob, Fairly Odd parents was good at first, but now boring and unfunny since when they got rid of the original writers and animators.

The old episodes of SpongeBob and FOP are amazing, the new episodes are crappy. Then old episodes are amazing.

I think that Nick should keep SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents and show the older episodes more often, and show some reruns of some of the other old shows like Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, CatDog, Angry Beavers, Kenan and Kel, Chalk Zone, Rocket Power, Amanda Show, Hey Arnold, etc.

I remember the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award in 1997, 1998, and 1999.
