Nutshell Sports NCAA Football Ratings
These ratings are designed to change slowly
throughout the season. You can see which direction
your team is going on the week-by-week rating.
And we didn't do badly against the line.
Season was 376-324. 52 games ahead.
Second Half was 166-131. 35 games ahead.
Not Bad. And you thought we were nuts.
See my Ratings Summary to see what type of ratings you like best.
Predictive Ratings (pred) and Middle Game Ratings.
Current Odds
	Updated 01/08/2008
The teams are arranged by their predictive ratings.
Also included are the teams' Middle Game Ratings.
The predictive tells how they are playing right now.
Middle Game tells how they have played during the season.
If the predictive rating is higher, your team is getting better.
If the Middle Game is higher, your team is getting worse. Sorry.
All ratings only include games played by teams in the top level.
Is LSU the best? I doubt it. They beat Ohio State, who also folded
in last year's championship. I'll assume LSU deserves that. But
there are still unanswered questions. Can LSU beat USC or West
Virginia? We'll never know. And why is Ohio State still ahead of
LSU? Simple. In their typical game they played at a higher level.
Unfortunately, they didn't play at such a high level when they
played LSU. But what's new about that?
To see why Ohio State is still ahead, refer to the Weeks chart.

Better or Worse?
Did your team get better this season?
Did they flop? Is it time for a new coach?
It certainly looks as if Louisville, Notre
Dame, California, Baylor, and Nebraska fit
that description. Or, perhaps, just better
players.

Speaking Out

In my lifetime we have gone from politeness and common sense to political correctness. Ironically, the same people that want to organize manners want to de-organize religion. In other words, they are very confused. I am tired of the 85+ % liberal press and radical college professors putting crap into young people's heads. Here are some places and articles where you can hear common sense which is not regulated.

Where to get real news from both sides. What a concept.

Articles

Not-So-Funny Bunny

Gee, I wonder how young Arabs learn to hate Israel? If you don't get it yet, they are taught to hate in many places. Here's an example.

What Do You Want Israel to Do? You Solve the Problem.

What is the real goal of Arabs and "Palestininas"?

God Phobia

Liberal politicians in general just do not get it.

Islamophobia?

Just Another Group Promoting Racism and Hatred

Someone is Defending our Freedom of Speech.

CAIR is not my friend. If you like freedom of speech, CAIR is not your friend and they're spending your tax dollars in a deliberate lie.

The Dishonest Reporting Awards are Out!

Hostile Berkeley and Islam

I thought universities were "enlightened" and open-minded. Seems they are only open-minded to those with whom they agree. "Enlightened"? How about "in the dark"?

Deconstructing the False Equation

There is no apartheid in Israel. Deal with it.

Common Sense Sources

Media Myths Explained.

Political Correctness Watch

Think you're getting accurate news about what's going on in the Middle East?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

If You Want to Use your Brain Instead of Being a Parrot, Research Both of These Sources:

Liberal Sources

Conservative Sources

Since the hippies tried to save the world, every new generation thinks it has the solution to all the problems the current leaders have caused. It takes a long time to civilize a society. It doesn't take long for "idealists" to destroy it.

I am conservative. I believe that our values and ideas should continue unless they are proved to be inferior over time. I do not like the liberal concept of trashing things that work and replacing them with things that sound good. Study both sides to find out what is true. Stop telling me I am a racist and hateful and more unless you have studied my side's viewpoint. I do not like watching the media cause problems so they can sell papers and airtime the next day while blaming those problems on the other side.

Wise up.
