Comments are back, Part II
OK, I know some of you are having trouble registering for comments. Here are a few notes that should help you through it:
1) When you register, do not use the same user name that you used with Typekey, our old registration system. You will get an error saying that user already exists. Use a different user name. You can put your old username in the 'Display Name', which is what will show up on the blog.
2) After registering, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. Make sure to go to that e-mail and follow the link. Your registration will not activate until you do that, so you won't be able to post. If you don't see it in your inbox, check your junk mail folder.
3) If you don't receive that e-mail, or have any other problems, let me know and we'll figure it out.
And since my Wolverines are facing the evil Buckeyes this week, Go Blue!
Week 12 WORST Voter -- Scott Wolf (Again),
Los Angeles Daily News (posted 11/14/07)
Scott Wolf has repeated as Worst Voter of the Week. He joins Craig James as the only other voter to be named twice. James has since cleaned up his act, but Wolf seems to have no desire to follow suit and may go for a hat trick. As we enter the final weeks of college football, it seems our group of most-extreme voters is staying consistent. What put Wolf at the top this week was the number of red flags where he was the only voter. He also won the un-popular vote yet again. Here are the highlights from his week 12 ballot:
1) For the second week running, Wolf alone gives Texas their highest ranking at #6 and Kansas its lowest at #8. Wolf is not only the lone extreme in both cases, but his ordering of these two teams is odd. Texas still has two losses and Kansas still has zero, and they now have four common opponents: Oklahoma State, Baylor, Nebraska and Kansas State.
Texas lost to Kansas State. Kansas beat them.
Texas beat Baylor 31 - 10. Kansas beat them 58 - 10.
Texas beat Nebraska 28 - 25. Kansas beat them 76 - 39.
Texas beat Oklahoma State 38 - 35. Kansas beat the Cowboys 43-28.
The case for Kansas being ranked over Texas has gotten stronger each week; however, that hasn't fazed Wolf. Maybe he is expecting Kansas to lose its last two games, and instead of waiting for it to happen, he is showing his prophetic skills by voting that way now.
2) Oklahoma can thank Mr. Wolf for its lone #1 vote in the AP Poll.
3) Wolf also gives Kentucky its highest ranking at #13, Florida its highest ranking at #9, and West Virginia its second highest ranking at #3. Pollspeak is not saying that these teams are unworthy of the rankings; however, it isn't a good sign when your champion has a pattern of multiple extreme picks.
4) In addition to down-grading Kansas, he also gives Oregon its lowest ranking at #4, Arizona State its second lowest at #12, and Ohio State it's lowest at #11.
There are other items that could be pointed out, but these are the highlights. We'll let you discuss the rest on our FORUMS.

see scott rates the by who he thinks is the best team. it doesn't matter what they do on the field if he thinks another team is better then that's how they get ranked. for him there's no point in actually playing the game cause he already knows the better team, and results don't matter.
