FINAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL RANKINGS ARE HERE!

The final BPI Sports college football rankings are now up...and the SEC domination is no more! Check out who I have #1 at season’s end as well as where your favorite team ranks! I hope everyone enjoyed another great college football campaign.

Week 5 of the Andrade college basketball rankings are now up! They were/are developed by a very good friend of mine, Patrick Andrade. Here is how he explains his ranking system/process...

“This ranking system takes every game into account looking at the quality of the opponent played as well as the location of the game. Wins are taken as positive events while losses are viewed as negative events. The value of each win (or loss) varies by strength of opponent and location. Losses are negative values while wins are positive values - the sum of all events is then divided by the total games played to produce a team score.”

I’m proud to display the rankings of this intelligent, avid sports enthusiast with an M.A. degree from the University of Louisville, and I hope you enjoy his college basketball rankings. Let us know what you think! Not to Hulk Hogan his moment at all, but I just want to let you all know that my BPI Sports college basketball rankings are still on the shelf due to some administrative concerns, but certainly enjoy Pat’s rankings in the meantime!

Well, it's official, the 2011 Man v. Game Tecmo Super Bowl (NES) challenge is now complete...here are the teams I competed with/as: Washington, Buffalo, Cleveland, San Francisco, Green Bay, Denver, Los Angeles Raiders, Indianapolis, Detroit, Los Angeles Rams, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, New England, New York Giants, Seattle, New York Jets, New Orleans, Chicago, Houston, San Diego, Dallas, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Miami, New York Giants2, Detroit2, Miami2, Denver2, San Francisco2, Houston2, Buffalo2, Philadelphia2, Los Angeles Raiders2, Atlanta2, Chicago2.

12-4/5 won the Super Bowl with Buffalo over San Francisco 28-6...seem to have caught this second wind very well here and am very into the project with less than a month to go, we’ll see where it goes from here...onto the next one....12-12-11...pretty much ho-hummed through a season with Philadelphia, culminating with a 49-6 Super Bowl win over Buffalo...lost a heartbreaker to Dallas in the regular season 16-14 with Jim McMahon starting for the injured QB Eagles. I began a season with the Los Angeles Raiders with a huge 78-13 win over Houston, Bo Jackson 13 carries, 411 yards, 7 TD...but instead of pausing game #2 v. Denver, I mistakenly reset it, erasing that first game, so I don’t know where I go from here again, mildly heartbreaking, but we’ll see what’s up...12-19-11...well a perfect season with the Raiders after all, culminating in a playoff where I outscored my opponents 155-9, with 59-0 shutouts in the AFC Title game (Buffalo) and the Super Bowl (New York Giants)...almost tempted to just hang it up on that...and I probably should have, because here on 12-26-11, I sit 11-2 with the Atlanta Falcons...2 losses in the RS is unacceptable...lost to the Raiders in OT on a field goal 34-31, and to the Redskins 42-35 on a 40+ yard TD run by Gary Clark as time expired. Going to finish this season out and might rock one more, we’ll see.

1-8-12...sorry for the delay of the update, Happy New Year to you all, but I regret to tell you that my second Man v. Game challenge ended on a very sour/heartbreaking note. I won the Super Bowl with Atlanta2 on 12-29-11 over the Los Angeles Raiders 31-23, then followed that up with an undefeated regular season with Chicago2 as well. In epic fashion, I disposed of the New York Giants, 90-7 in the divisional round, the San Francisco 49ers, 69-7 in the NFC Championship game, yet New England Patrioted in the Super Bowl v. those dreaded LA Raiders, 21-28...my star/starting RB Neal Anderson was injured for the SB, yet no excuse for losing...just sad to see this great challenge end on an L, especially with a team that it shouldn’t have happened with. Part of me wishes I had never gone beyond the 28 seasons I was going to initially play, despite finishing in May 2011, a lot of me wishes that the power outage never happened in June 2011 which put a bit of a damper on the “extended” project, but I also think that it gave me a nice second wind to want to play out what I could finish in the allotted time. Tecmo Super Bowl for Nintendo is an incredibly great game and if you’ve never played it, you should...enjoy my 3rd Man v. Game challenge, the meal that it is/will be!

The BPI Sports NASCAR Cup, Nationwide,Truck, Formula One Indy Car, and Indy Lights standings are now all FINAL. Congratulations to Carl Edwards, Austin Dillon, Dario Franchitti, Josef Newgarden, and Sebastian Vettel for winning their respective BPI crowns, and thank you all for following along this year :).

In 2012, be looking for more games, more rankings, and more everything here as I'm hoping/expecting it to be a banner year for the website, so stay tuned for the upcoming excitement!
