Well, this is a nice consolation prize
Nice to know that the two teams playing for the national title aren’t even deemed finals-worthy by SI readers…

Fake playoffs
As you probably know, it took SI.com about two days to put up a fake 16-team playoff (using the BcS standings and seeding them 1-16), based on votes from the fans. Unsurprisingly, three huge state schools made the semis. (We actually were a bit surprised that the fans picked USC over LSU.) Now the WWL [...]

December 1, 2007 has come and gone, which means that this wild and crazy season is over. No one was great, everyone claimed to be good, and we are left with a system that is designed to give us a 1 vs. 2 game—based on the opinions of 167 people who don’t watch every game [...]

As always we thank Awful Announcing for this week’s listing. Ok I am sorry to everyone for not posting in the past 12 days. After my visit to LA for the yawnfest that was the Homecoming win, I had a business trip then family in town so yeah I forgot to post about week 11. [...]

From, as always, Awful Announcing: Tonight: The Battle of the Techs, with the lovely Erin Andrews on the sidelines. I might watch, since there’s nothing else sports-related on television, but these two teams are seriously dull. Saturday: Early Games: Wisconsin at Ohio State on the Big Ten Network (noon Eastern). For those of you without [...]

Hey Urban Poet: Chuck Weis is listed at around 350lbs so I think that is right. Also, the “Dwarf from Shreveport” was left on the sideline all day so that also helped out a lot. Oh and there are no Division-I offensive players playing currently for Notre Dame. So, Ohio State dominated Michigan St for [...]

As always, big thanks to Awful Announcing for this week’s announcer schedule for college football. Highlights: Thursday night: South Florida at Rutgers (ESPN: Fowler/Flutie/James). South Florida’s last test on the road. Saturday (Noon Eastern): Nothing worth watching. Saturday (3:30pm Eastern): Florida at Kentucky (CBS: Lundquist/Danielson, Gameday in Lexington) and SC at ND—2 years ago a [...]

Again we thank Awful Announcing and their associates for the Week 7 TV/Announcer Listings. Highlights (i.e., how to schedule your TV time): I honestly cannot recommend anything because Fox Sports does such an awful job with college football. I would watch Missouri at OU if it was being called by Ron Franklin on ESPN, but [...]
Posted in Arizona, Kentucky, LSU, Oklahoma, USC | No Comments »Poll potentialities
Not to get too hasty here, but the LA Times points out that if Florida upsets LSU, then (assuming that USC takes care of business against Stanford) USC and Cal will probably occupy the top two spots in the polls. A Florida victory over undefeated Louisiana State at Tiger Stadium could propel USC and California [...]
