As the Crimson Tide prepare for their biennial trip to Baton Rouge, gamblers prepare to lay down beaucoup d’argent on Bama -∞. This Tiger fan isn’t getting his hopes up, and he hopes that you aren’t, either.
It’s times like these when I remember that every LSU player is younger than any woman whose snatch I should be chasing, so all old farts, thirty-somethings, and late-twenty-somethings are best served without an emotional connection to this game and with the hopes that some LSU players realize that a good ass-whippin’ is a rite of passage into character development and humility.
This writer apologizes for the team currently in the No. 1 spot, but don’t blame him, hibernophobes. Nay, blame the Pacific-12 officials who handed the Fighting Irish a win over the Cardinal a few weeks ago.
This week’s Red Shtick College Football Rankings are listed below. All signs point to Alabama playing either Notre Dame, Kansas State, or Oregon in the BCS Championship Game. Notre Dame holds the No. 1 ranking by a slim margin, but it plays a struggling Pitt team Saturday and easily could be passed by Kansas State (vs. Oklahoma State) and/or Alabama (at LSU) even with a win. What is certain is that if Alabama wins out, it will be a clear No. 1.

Note: The Red Shtick College Football Ratings are now known as The Red Shtick College Football Rankings. A rating, as it pertains to our computer rating/ranking system, is the solution of an algorithm. A ranking is the relationship between a team and all other teams. We here at Balls have received tens of thousands of letters suggesting that we make this literal change, and we now relent.
