Coming Attractions

It's been a while since I wrote down my thoughts on the last few weeks of college football but they will be forthcoming. The annual BCS firestorm is in full blaze. I think the coaches poll is a joke. (I would like to hear to rationale behind the Bowdens putting Missouri over Oklahoma. Mike Bellotti did the same thing - perhaps he shared a drink with his wife while filling out his ballot.) The Harris poll is even more of a joke. But, I think the BCS got it right again and I will offer more explanation later.

I do not favor a playoff but since I see so many unrealistic ideas, I have come up with my own just for fun - and one that might actually work.

Talk about bittersweet. Ohio State was glad to see at least one of the top 2 go down but not both. The result is having to play LSU in the Superdome. Speaking from experience, it's overwhelming inside and outside the stadium for the opponent.

I think the BCS matchups could be pretty entertaining. First, there is no Notre Dame taking up a spot this year. The Fiesta should be fun if West Virginia recovers mentally from the Pitt loss. I think a lot of people will tune into the Sugar Bowl to see if Hawaii-Georgia can be a repeat of OU-Boise State. Although Missouri deserved it more, I think Kansas will surprise people and be very competitive and possibly beat Virginia Tech. The Rose Bowl - what a shame the folks in Pasadena chose tradition over a monster showdown. Instead of USC-Georgia, we get USC-Illinois. The Zookers are on the way up but they didn't earn this stage yet.
