For a pessimistic view on what the Giants season is shaking out to be, feel free to read Dan Graziano’s column on SNY.tv

For an optimistic view (one which I’d prefer), look no further than one post down to fellow writer David Jacks’ post.

On ESPN.com, check out Tom Coughlin’s coach rank this week, which is substantially lower than it was during the first four weeks of the season.

I wonder what the coach rank would be for Bill Sheridan…

Mitch Abramson of nydailynews.com has an interesting article on former Giants WR Chris Calloway and how another “Madoff” hurt his financial standing.

A final Note

This actually has nothing to do with the Giamts, or even the NFL for that matter. It has to do with college football and the pre-ranking of teams before the season starts.

I have a gripe. I myself am a little bit of a Big East fan (especially when opposed to the Big XII) and to me, I don’t see why Cincinnati is behind Texas in terms of the BCS besides the fact that Texas started the season higher in the rankings.

Assuming Texas beats Nebraska and Cincy beats Pitt, both teams will be undefeated. What most likely will result of this is a BCS national championship between Texas and the winner of the Alabama-Florida game.

I ask, what makes Texas’ resume better than Cincy’s?

Texas has only one real solid win in my eyes when they beat Oklahoma St. away from home. But besides that, I don’t see anything. If I had to say, the next best win would be home against Oklahoma without Sam Bradford…and by 3.

For Cincy, I see numerous decently impressive wins. Having to travel to the west coast to play Oregon St. couldn’t have been easy. The same could be said for travelling south to Florida and beating then No. 21 USF. Cincy also had a home win against then No. 25 West Virginia (whom I believe is extremely underrated).

And with both teams winning next Saturday (presumably, of course), Cincy will have added a win against the 15th ranked team while Texas will have beaten the 22nd ranked team in Nebraska.

I think Cincy deserves a little more cred…but that’s just what I think. If you have an opinion on the subject, please feel free to let me know.
