A few days outdated but funny article:Don't stop 'til you get enough(Bottom 10 CFB teams)
Edited on Mon Sep-07-09 06:21 PM by JonLP24
The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:

Because I'm bad, I'm bad -- come on
(Bad bad -- really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad -- come on, you know
(Bad bad -- really, really bad)
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad …

-- "Bad," Michael Jackson

Who's bad? The Bottom 10 tries to answer that question each week during the college football season. Michael Jackson might be gone, but his work and words won't be forgotten in our world. The King of Pop's music will provide the beat for our preseason ranking of teams moonwalking to the bottom of the college football barrel.

<snip>

1. North Texas (Rec in 2008)1-11 Comment:"The Way You Make Me Feel": The Mean Green knock the Bottom 10 off its feet, which is more than the UNT defense did to anyone in 2008.

2. Western Kentucky 2-10 Comment: "ABC": Reading, writing and arithmetic are the branches of the learning tree, but success won't be as easy as A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 for the Hilltoppers -- even in the Sun Belt.

3. Idaho 2-10 "Smooth Criminal": Vandals, are you OK? Are you OK, Vandals? Regardless of how that question is phrased, the answer usually has been no. Doesn't look like '09 will be any different.

4. Eastern Michigan 3-9 "Never Can Say Goodbye": Tell me why is it so? That the Bottom 10 never can say goodbye to the Eagles. No, no, no, no, no, no. We never can say goodbye.

5. Tennessee 5-7 "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'": Lane Kiffin's got to be startin' somethin'. Think the folks at Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina feel like they have a score to settle?

6. New Mexico St 3-9 "Rock With You": The Bottom 10 is gonna rock with the Aggies (all night). Until new coach DeWayne Walker dances them into day (sunlight).

7. Tulane 2-10 "Beat It": The Green Wave have lost eight straight. No one wants to be defeated. Time for showin' how funky strong their fight is. It doesn't matter who's wrong or right.

8. Iowa State 2-10 "Man In The Mirror": If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make a change. The Cyclones are counting on new coach Paul Rhoads to make that change.

9. SMU 1-11 "Thriller": SMU's defense can thrill you more than any ghost who would dare to try. June Jones' offense will have to help the Ponies break their 10-game losing streak.

10. Washington 0-12 "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough": Keep on with the force. Don't stop. Don't stop 'til you get enough. The Huskies' 14-game losing streak is the nation's longest. But Idaho visits in Week 2. Will that be enough?

Waiting list: Army (3-9), Indiana (3-9), Louisiana-Monroe (4-8), Miami (Ohio) (2-10), San Diego State (2-10), Syracuse (3-9), Toledo (3-9), UAB (4-8), Washington State (2-11).

1. We play #8 this week and it scares the shit out of me, Jon.
It is always ISU's superbowl when they host Iowa. They could give a shit what they do the rest of the season. Just beat Iowa. It'll be a dogfight. Of this, I am sure.

2. Without knowing much about either team...
I think due to Iowa's performance they will have long week of film study(Within the guidelines of the NCAA of course ;)) and work out the many kinks they showed in the game. I also expect a tough week of practice and I think they will come out strong. I'm sure Iowa State will come out strong being that it's a rivalry game and like you said it'll be dogfight. It seems the game against Northern Iowa gave them a great opportunity to get better or motivated. :shrug:

3. UW doesn't belong on that list
proof of that was the way they played against LSU...outgaining them 478-321. If not for some untimely turnovers they might have won.

The guy who wrote that article is a jerk..he even comes complete with an East Coast bias.

4. The article was written last week
I'm sure he will make the changes necessary. They did belong on the list based on their '08 record last week.

That is why I said it was a few days outdated. In a couple of days I will post the new rankings and I'm sure he will take UW off the list.

6. They're on the waiting list
It says 2-11 but that doesn't make sense. Teams don't play 13 games unless they have a conference championship game and/or bowl game.
