Clearing up Charlie's Befuddlement

Back in late October Charlie Weis was "befuddled."

"One of the teams [Tennessee] that jumped us had the same game that we had. They're down, they're playing at home and they win by a field goal," Weis said Tuesday. "Another team [Florida] that jumped us wasn't even playing. They were home eating cheeseburgers and they end up jumping us. That befuddles me."

"Tell me how that works?" Weis said. "Maybe I'm just stupid. Tell me how that works?"

Here's how that works Charlie. Poll voters have opinions. Their opinions can change based on performances. Coming back to barely beat a mediocre UCLA team isn't exactly a feather in your cap. You know that team that was home eating Cheeseburgers? They soundly beat (23-10) the team that manhandled you on national TV tonight (41-14) in the Sugar Bowl. The pollsters suspected that your Irish team was a fraud and tonight you proved them right. Maybe you should shut your mouth or stuff a Cheeseburger in it.
