***Updated College Football Polls Week 13*** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=252748)

How the hell is Texas still ranked in the BCS?

No one outside of ACC country probably is taking notice, but Mike London is doing one hell of a coaching job at Virginia. They are 8-3, wins at Florida State and Miami and if they beat Virginia Tech this weekend have a chance to play in the ACC Championship Game.

Not bad for a program that was basically dead under Al Groh two years ago.

Yeah. I sort of boggled at that as well. Most likely booze/opiate overdose unfotunately unless it's just a freak heart defect.

Virginia Tech and Clemson, the class of the ACC would beat any team in the Big 12.

Clemson is the team that just got rolled by a .500 team right?

Hey guys, remember when the ACC added Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston College because they thought that would make them a good football conference?

First of all: apologies for continuing this in this thread, but I'm unsure where else to put it at this point.

So it looks like it actually might just be a freak incident or birth defect. According to the reports, he was fine, in his dorm room playing video games at 10:30 on Sunday morning, then found in cardiac arrest at 11:15. Emergency crews found him having a heart attack and tried to revive without success.

I suppose it's possible he was pilled up, playing video games at 10:30am, but it's less likely than if he were just found dead that morning after going to bed after a night of partying.

Arkansas' football team was in mourning Sunday following the death of backup tight end Garrett Uekman.

The university said Uekman was pronounced dead at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville on Sunday.

The cause of death wasn't immediately known, but the university said Uekman was found unconscious and unresponsive in his dorm room on campus at approximately 11:15 a.m. Sunday. He was last seen playing video games by a roommate approximately an hour earlier.

When emergency services personnel arrived, Uekman was in cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 12:10 p.m.

"Garrett Uekman was a special member of our family, and we are all saddened by his passing," Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said in a statement. "His loss is a terrible shock, and it makes you realize how precious life is."

University police Lt. Mat Mills said there were no suspicious circumstances about Uekman's death, and his body will be sent to the state medical examiner for an autopsy.

Petrino spoke briefly Sunday night, fighting back tears as he read from a statement. He noted that Uekman's final game, Arkansas' 44-17 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday, was in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium — where he played his high school games while at Little Rock Catholic.

Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long also spoke and said the university wasn't aware of any pre-existing medical condition with Uekman. He said the Razorbacks' players showed "shock and dismay" when told of Uekman's death at an afternoon team meeting.

Long also said the school would hold a candlelight vigil Monday night in honor of Uekman and said his family had expressed the desire for the No. 3 Razorbacks to play Friday's game at No. 1 LSU as scheduled.

"Certainly the feelings of Garrett's family (are) that football and the University of Arkansas and the Razorbacks were very important to him," Long said. "And that he would want us to continue to complete."

The 19-year-old Uekman redshirted last season for the Razorbacks and played in nine games this season. He was majoring in applied exercise science.

Uekman's parents, Danny and Michelle, released a statement through the university.

"Our son was living his dream of going to the U of A and playing football for the Razorbacks," the statement read. "He loved his school, his coaches, and his teammates and classmates, and was an influence and inspiration to so many people. We ask for your love and prayers for Garrett, our family and his friends as we all cope with this heavy and painful loss."

David Estes, the football coach at Little Rock Catholic where Uekman played in high school, said he was told by Arkansas running backs coach Tim Horton that Uekman had been found by his roommate in his dorm room on campus. Estes said he watched Uekman play and was "beaming from ear to ear" Saturday night in War Memorial Stadium as the Razorbacks beat Mississippi State.

"Garrett was any parent or coach's dream," Estes said. "He was one of those special kids and had a passion for everything. He loved Catholic High, loves UA and wanted to be a Razorback forever.

"He got to live that dream."

I'm pretty bummed that Iowa State went all Iowa State four straight games this year. They have showed flashes of being the best team on the field all year they have just make stupid mistakes and stupid turnovers which I'm assuming is due to mostly the team being so young and/or new to starting together. Mizzou was the only exception... even though they are the worst team we lost to we just couldn't do anything.

But I did hear that according to some computer ranking that the BCS uses they had ISU all the way up at #20!(assuming because we have one of the hardest schedules in the nation and according to the same list our lowest loss was #16)

[QUOTE=Groupon;8124743]VaTech doesn't deserve to be the #4 team.

They don't have a single impressive win on their schedule other than maybe Georgia Tech. Other than that, they have played Appalachian State, East Carolina, Arkansas State, Marshall, Clemson (blown out 23-3 at home), Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, and North Carolina.

With that shitty schedule, they have only outscored their in-conference opponents by a total of 28 combined points. They barely beat North Carolina at home this week (24-21) and only beat Duke by 4 points a few weeks back. Shit, they only beat East Carolina by 7. Boise State thinks their schedule is a joke.

How are you the highest ranked team outside the SEC West, when you have a 20 point home loss to Clemson, and played the North Carolina circuit (Wake, Duke, UNC, and East Carolina) to a combined margin of only 25 points when your best win is over Georgia Tech?[/QUOTE]

They are a product of the concept of "if you keep winning, you keep moving up in the polls even if you don't play anyone good".
