Week 9

2010

Good and Bad Voters of "Week 9" (posted 10/30/10)

Jon Wilner taking Bad Voter of the week is nothing new. This is his third in a row and fourth of the season, which gives him the most so far. Once again, he is the week's most extreme voter, and his bad votes most likely came from Oregon, Utah and Ohio State fans. The Good Voter of the Week is definitely a surprise, though.

The ESPN crew have represented Good Voter of the week very well over the years. Kirk Herbstreit has been a regular, and has won the award more than anybody. Chris Fowler has also made appearances including week 3 of 2008, week 9 of 2008, the 2009 preseason poll, week 3 of 2009 and week 7 of 2009. Craig James has only won once before...back in week 12 of 2008. He tends to draw more ire than praise from the fans over the years, although usually not as much as the beat writers. Still, he has been picked as Bad voter of the week in the 2009 preseason poll, week 10 of 2008 and was actually Pollspeak's first-ever bad voter back in October of 2007. So these are relatively unchartered waters for James, but his course was easy to plot: 1) don't vote anybody lowest, 2) Vote Michigan State highest at No. 3. Spartan fans definitely put James on top this week.

Pollspeak Report for 'Week 9' (posted 10/30/10)

One is the Loneliest Number. Read the full story on CBSSPORTS.COM by following the link.

For the second week in a row, a team outside the top two in the human polls is the BCS No.1. All three human polls have Oregon No. 1 and Boise State No. 2. Yet, Auburn is the BCS No. 1 due to four of the six computers ranking them on top. This is truly surprising considering that, historically, the voters have slighted the Broncos while the computers have usually regarded them higher. Who would have thought that a well-respected and undefeated SEC team would need to rely on the computers to set the voters straight? It looks like it is going to take a No. 1 ranking in the human polls, for Boise State to have any shot at the title. Meanwhile, the computers are only going to make it harder for the Broncos as their strength of schedule gets worse with each WAC opponent.

Speaking of conference troubles, with the loss of West Virginia to Syracuse on Saturday, the Big East now has no representative in the AP, Coaches, or BCS top 25. They are also the only Big East teams left with 2 losses, and they both have some of the best conference teams remaining. One of them will have to step up in order to finish the season in the top 25.

Nevada is surprisingly back in the polls and in the BCS top 25 for the first time. I say surprisingly only because it is after a bye week, and their last game was a loss to Hawaii. In fact, Nevada was able to sneak in despite not appearing in the coaches’ top 25. Instead, Michigan is the coaches’ No. 25. However, the computers think better of the Wolf Pack than the Wolverines right now, so Nevada earned the BCS spot. If Michigan can beat Penn State next week, they will likely jump over Nevada.

Meanwhile, Virginia Tech should be thanking the voters and the ballots they wrote in on. The Hokies made the BCS at No. 23 only because the human polls ranked them No. 21. The Billingsley Report ranked them No. 25 and the other five computers didn’t rank them in the top 25 at all.

In the AP, there is very little disagreement about who should be ranked in the top 25. A solid 18 teams appear on all 60 ballots. While 24 teams appear on at least 50 of the 60. That left Baylor just enough room to sneak in at No. 25 with only 32 votes. Congrats to the Bears on their first ranking since 1993.

Eight teams received a single vote in the AP, but probably the two loneliest votes are Mike Hlas with Northern Illinois at No. 25 and Jon Wilner with San Diego State at No. 19. Both teams have two losses, and they have only beaten one BCS-conference team between them. Northern Illinois beat Minnesota. (edited 10/26/10)

Head-to-Head lines:

Cole Harvey and Pete DiPrimio are the only two voters to rank Florida State over Oklahoma. These two teams have the same number of losses (one), and for those that forgot, the Sooners beat down the Seminoles 47 to 17 in week two. If Oklahoma loses again and FSU doesn’t, there would be reason to switch the teams, but as of right now, the Sooners have clearly proven themselves the better team.

Even with a better record and a direct win over Iowa, these three voters still rank Arizona lower. Maybe it is a Big Ten thing because these four voters still rank Ohio State over Wisconsin even though the Badgers won the head-to-head and just had another solid win over Iowa. Thankfully nobody ranks Iowa over Wisconsin, or it would be time cancel my subscription to the Big Ten Network and just stop watching them until they get a championship game.

Pelvic Trauma, Surgery, Radiation Therapy Risk of infection Psychogenic impotence is relatively uncommon. It is characterized objectively by the presence of good nocturnal and morning erections and negative findings from all other tests. During the interview, a history of highly variable erections that can be totally absent one day but virtually normal the next suggests a psychogenic cause. Virtually 100% of men with severe depression have erectile dysfunction (ED). Sildenafil (Viagra) works well for psychogenic ED; other treatment modalities are also effective because the tissues, nerves, hormone levels, and vasculature are normal. The authors usually recommend a full psychological evaluation in these patients so that the underlying etiology can be identified and treated appropriately rather than just treating the symptom of ED. Therefore, the authors defer treatment of the patient's ED until he has begun psychological testing and therapy for the underlying problem. Reality: ED is treatable at any age, and increasing numbers of men are becoming aware of this fact. Treatment options are available, regardless of whether the cause is found to be physical or psychological. In some cases, surgery may be an option. However, there are many non-surgical treatments available, most of which work by increasing blood flow to the penis. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved oral drugs, such as Cialis and Viagra, as one type of treatment. In addition, devices such as vacuums and implants are available. Some people have found success with sex therapy or herbal remedies. In other cases, properly managing the underlying disease or substituting certain prescription medications resolves the problem. Oftentimes, a man suffering from ED simply needs to eat better, exercise, and quit smoking in order to eliminate the condition. looking for generic viagra? canadian pharmacy viagra for sale
