Let's go Sooners!

Completely agree.

I so love the regular season for my Sooners but so hate the bowl season because I know something horrible is going to happen everytime.

So can someone explain how USC ends up with more points in the voting than they had last week when they have a by week and Georgia dominates Central Michigan?

If you're going to start letting cupcake performances have such a large impact week-to-week, shouldn't what's good for the goose be good for the gander? They let OSU drop 2 spots (when Florida really wasn't impressive against Miami) but USC gets the grandfather? Anyone who's ever made a claim of East Coast Bias must be loving this season so far--can't find a highlight from Georgia, Ohio State, or Oklahoma.

UGA got more first place votes as well. No one really cares about a game against a non-BCS opponent, unless you lose it.

Yup. I think East Carolina is continuing to make believers out of people!!!!! I feel like they've been slighted a bit in this weeks rankings.

The two-time defending MAC champion is a much more impressive win than Virginia. USC dismantled UVA because they are awful . What kills me is that the same people who are voting for USC now based on beating down a terrible opponent and the ones criticizing Georgia for dominating Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl last year (which was reflected 3 weeks ago in the polls.)

UVA is the bottom of the ACC, which might be the #6 BCS conference. Beating a bottom-feeder ACC team is so much more quality than beating the champion of one of the top non-BCS conferences (WAC, MAC, CUSA.) Central Michigan was so good GameDay and CFL had no problem making the game an upset watch.

The media talks itself into circles and at the end of the day they're rewarding the team that got prime ESPN coverage rather than ESPN 360 coverage. How many highlights have we seen from Georgia? If this play (roughly 15 seconds into the clip) doesn't make SportsCenter's Top 10, what should? If Beanie Wells could do it, it would be the only clip we saw for weeks.

I could live with USC getting #1 after the first week because we didn't run up the score against Southern (remember when teams used to put their 3rd and 4th strings in for the second half so their opponents could get some work in to prepare them for their seasons? Did Mark Richt miss the save-the-date for sportsmanship's funeral?) USC didn't play this week and we dominated a better team and yet USC gets a further lead in the polls. Fantastic.

I can't wait for Arizona State so we can put the Pac-1 back in its place on national television.

gsu, you(GT) have a guaranteed win next week vs Miss State. State has the worst offense in the history of college football. Auburn tried to give MSU the game last night but State didn't want it. MSU gained 114 total yards. Who ever heard of a 3 -2 score in college football?

Miss State's offense doesn't even compare to NC State's.

Hah. Not to mention those guys are going to come out FIRING after that tough loss this week. I feel bad for the MSU players.

I do too. MSU has a decent defense. But they need some help from the offense. The defense will not be able to stay on the field 70% of the game, week after week. I say GT wins 38 - 3. You going to the game?

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
