NFL Week 11

So things are shaping up strange in the NFL this year.  The AFC North (you know the one with the Browns, Ravens, Steelers and Bengals) has all four teams above the five hundred mark, while the NFC South has all four teams (you know the Saints, Panthers, Buccaneers and Falcons) below five hundred.  Interesting that these two conferences play each other this year.  I guess if we know one thing right now the AFC North is kicking the NFC South up and down the field.

Also interesting is that the Ravens, being the last place team in the division, also ranks the highest.  But given that all four teams are within a game of each other it isn't that surprising I suppose.

Good news for the Browns as they head down to Atlanta and the worst defense in the league.  This should be a nice rebound game from last weeks all too predictable stumble on our way to the playoffs.  (yes wishful thinking has set in....)

College Week 12

So a new week and a new top school.  This week Georgia's fine win over Auburn combined with weak or no games by the other top schools has left a new SEC school in the top spot.  Interesting because last year as I developed this model Baylor nearly ran wire to wire as the top school.  This year it's been one team after another as king of the hill. 

So as of now my Final Four include:

Georgia
Ohio State
Oregon
Marshall

Of course I only take the top school from a conference.  Ole Miss still finds themselves in good position despite moving off of number one.  Of course whatever school comes out of the SEC will be in the playoff, and perhaps the second place team as well.  It will be interesting to see how the committee will handle it.
