The Dirty Dozen and Bottom of the Barrel: Game On!

Yes, we're back!!!



You missed us. We know you missed us...



Since of course, we are all College Football fans, but some are new to our site, please allow us to catch you up.

This is what we at OSG Sports call our "College Football Poll". It's not just any poll, it's only what we feel are the 12 Best teams in all the land. And no, we don't believe in Preseason polls. They are complete and utter bullshit.

And by the way, we aren't biased towards teams that are allegedly good because everyone says they are.

With that in mind we will also tell you the 5 Worst teams. Why? Because where there is good, there is bad, where there is happy, there is sad (oops, sorry, went a music riff)

Anyway, without much fanfare...or further ado, we give you Week #1's Dirty Dozen and Bottom of the Barrel along with what we think will happen to each team along the way--



The Dirty Dozen:

1) Alabama (1-0) Until proven otherwise, they get to hold this perch. Maybe someone will knock them off it. Maybe they won't. But as the great Ric Flair says:



With that in mind. It ain't happening this week...the Tide have a bye

2) Clemson (1-0) Yes, Clemson. Sorry. Winning week #1 vs. Georgia and the SEC is huge for these guys. Will they choke later--probably. But for now, enjoy the spoils. (This Week: vs. South Carolina St. Our Pick: Clemson 51, SC State 13)

3) Oregon (1-0) Best team Nike can buy--bar none. And they play in the soft Pac-12. Always a good team and we love Marcus Mariota. Good luck keeping up with these guys. (This Week: at Virginia. Our Pick: Oregon 41, Virginia 23)

4) Ohio St. (1-0) Rule #1. Never count on a Big 10 team to start with a tough game. And tOSU lived up to that reputation and struggled a bit with Buffalo. They won't struggle as much this time. (This Week: vs. San Diego St. Our Pick: tOSU 37, SDSU 13)

5) South Carolina (1-0) So Jadeveon Clowney wasn't god-like in his 1st game. Big deal. Even winded, none of the fat-writers want any part of the kid. They'd rather throw stones. He'll be fine and counting his money this time next yr. (This Week: at Georgia. Our Pick: UGA 20, USC 17)

6) Stanford (0-0). Here only because they haven't played yet. They will. And they are a mirror image of Alabama. Almost. We really like coach David Shaw too. (This Week: vs. San Jose St. Our Pick: Stanford 41, SJSU 10)

7) Texas A&M (1-0) Ok, really, do you care what Johnny Football does when he's not playing football? Us either. Well, unless it's fun enough to drive traffic to our website. Yeah, we admit it. He will play again this week. And will look ahead to Alabama. (This Week: vs. Sam Houston St. Our Pick: Johnny Football 43, Sam Houston 17)

8) Lousiville (1-0) Oh, you Teddy Bridgewater. 5 TD's to start the year? And the pro scouts have commenced the drooling. Even if the writers don't pay attention. Expect the roll to continue. (This Week: vs. Eastern KY. Our Pick: Teddy Bridgewater 49, EKU 10)

9) Florida St. (1-0) Has there been anyone this year who's burst on the scene better the Jameis Winston? He's already won the Miss Congeniality award as a freshman. Just kidding. Seriously, if he's consistent at all, watch out. (This Week: BYE)

10) LSU (1-0) Alrighty, so Les hires Cam to coach Zach and the O. And they score points on opening night vs. TCU. Good sign. Right? We'll reserve judgement until the Tigers visit Athens. In the meantime. (This Week: vs. UAB. Our Pick: LSU 47, UAB 3)

11) Washington (1-0) Woo Hoo! Huskiemania rules! Well...maybe. But pounding a probably overrated Boise State in Seattle isn't a bad start either. They have a punchers chance this year with Oregon and Stanford coming to them. (This Week: BYE)

12) UCLA (1-0). So, it appears our pal Jim Mora may have found his calling in College. Good for him we say, as an NFL head coach, he was a great college coach. We always like to see people find their true calling. (This Week: BYE)


THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL:




5) Oregon St. (0-1) Sorry guys, you deserve this. You lost to Eastern Washington, an FCS team. It doesn't matter whether they were good or not. You were supposed to be a Top 25 team...and you obviously are not. And that's the Bottom Line--Cause Stone Cold said so~(This Week: vs. Hawaii. Our Pick: Oregon St. 37, Hawaii 35)

4) San Diego St. (0-1) You too, SDSU shall join the FCS loser bandwagon after getting drubbed by Eastern Illinois. Yes, Eastern Illionis. 4 INT returns for TD's will do that to ya. Cause after all--that's the Bottom Line, cause Stone Cold says so. (This Week: see Ohio State)

3) Akron (0-1). So, you didn't lose to an FCS team, though you appear to play like one after getting drubbed by UCF. Tiny Terry Bowden hasn't exactly recaptured his Auburn success...or any other success as the Zips are Zip for their last 10 games. Again...after all--that's the bottom line--Cause Stone Cold says so...(This Week: vs. James Madison. Our Pick: James Madison 31, Dolly Madison...uh..Akron 21)

2) Florida International (0-1). No, you didn't lose to an FCS team either, but your coach, Carl "The Bear" Pellini called for a stop the clock downing of the ball on a 4th down play. Early candidate for bonehead of the year. Say it with me everyone--That's the bottom line--cause Stone Cold says so. (This Week: vs. UCF. Our Pick: UCF 41, FIU 7)

1) Southern Miss (0-1) Last years champ returns. Uh...yeah. About Texas State. Well, yeah...um...weren't you supposed to beat them? Nah...you didn't. Ah...sorry, our bad. You get to keep your throne for another week.



(This Week: Ha! at Nebraska. Our Pick: Nebraska 127, Southern Miss 12)
