jones Top Ten - Final - 2011 Season
Ah, but to live life unapologetically, that’s the spirit, yes? To root out your cynicism and sow instead joy. To live life in the moment with nary a care for tomorrow. College football’s national championship comes tonight. Are we really going to ruin this grand occasion with our complaints and...
Fiesta Bowl Open Thread: Stanford vs Okie State
In 2012, all open game threads will officially begin in the 2nd quarter to prevent idiots from taking it over in the first. Andrew Luck, Shitbird, Old Man Weeden, Illin' Matt Millen ... this one has potential. Gundy has a few extra squirts of hair gel, each strand vertically aligned in symmetry by...
jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...
jones Top Ten - Week Fourteen - 2011
Well. Now that all the air has been sucked out of the room, I’d point out that a few football games not involving Alabama were actually played. Want to hear about them? Great! Enter the Honey Badger. Here’s a holiday tip for Nick Saban. Coach, during the busy Christmas party season always...
Adjusted Stats through 11/26/11
Adjusted stats and ratings have been updated through yesterday's games. LSU remains in the #1 spot of my EWP ratings with Alabama holding at #2.

If you had been with Lewis and Clark, Oregon never would have become a state. My wife the navigator does not generally put up with my smart-assery and this was no exception. If you had been making the turns for them, they would have ended up in New Orleans. The ubiquity of the GPS has eliminated...
Big 12 Games Preview - Thanksgiving Weekend
Time for the weekly look at the upcoming Big 12 games based on ratings and adjusted stats to date. As always, keep in mind that personnel matchups, coaching decisions, injuries, etc. will not play into the numerical predictions and are all important information that will still need to be...
jones Top Ten - Week Eleven - 2011
Conference re-alignment has not completely dulled my enthusiasm for college football, just partially. Roughly about to the same extent the Transportation Safety Administration has dulled my enthusiasm for air travel. I maintain some appreciation for the theatre of the absurd, like the ten-team Big...
jones Top Ten - Week Ten - 2011
Fathers forget how hard it is to come inside. Our timing always stinks; we have no appreciation for ending a game in the front yard or driveway at the proper moment. We believe that shower time trumps our little Tom Brady facing third and 15 down six at Pittsburgh (I know, I am trying to raise a...
BCS Analysis – Undefeateds Update
Another week, another two undefeated teams bite the dust. Unlike last week, this week's victims Clemson and Kansas State got blown out, leaving little doubt that they are out of the national title picture with the loss. Just like last week, I'm going to stay brief and only update last week's...
