Tuesday things

I'm at work.

First, click the link above, and watch the SICK catch by Tyrone Prothro from Alabama vs. Southern Miss. 4th and 12, good golly.

Second, ESPN released their "Power 16" today. Here it is.

1. USC
2. Texas
3. Virginia Tech
4. LSU
5. Florida
6. Tennessee
7. Georgia
8. Ohio State
9. Florida State
10. Notre Dame
11. Louisville
12. Miami
13. Purdue
14. Georgia Tech
15. Boston College
16. Michigan
Others receiving votes: Cal, Clemson, Iowa State, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, UCLA, Fresno State, Oregon, Texas A&M.

Okay, so what I CANNOT fathom is how Clemson and Arizona State are not on the list. What I also cannot fathom is why Boston College(15) and Purdue(13) are on there.

Boston College has beaten Army and BYU. How does that possibly mean that they are one of the 16 best teams in the nation? Better than Clemson? Really? Even crazier, better then MICHIGAN? I know Michigan lost to Notre Dame at home, but would you REALLY say that Boston College would beat Michigan.

Purdue gave up 371 passing yards against AKRON. Freaking! I'll say it again, would you pick Purdue against Michigan? OF COURSE NOT! So why are they ranked higher!?! Agh, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills or something!

Clemson took down Texas A&M. Respectable win, for sure. And the they took down Maryland. The only knock I can see is that they had to be close games. Struggling against Maryland is kind of a knock, they aren't what they used to be. But A&M was ranked, and Clemson came back and put it down. Would you say that Purdue would beat Clemson?

ARIZONA STATE NOT BEING ON THIS LIST = TRAVESTY.Good lord, a team is beating arguably the most talented team in the country down to 20 seconds the week after a seriously tail kicking of Temple and they can't get "Power 16ed?"

If you'll excuse me, I need to stab my eyes out.
