BCS Citi National Championship Game Preview

BCS Citi National Championship Game Preview January 7th, 2010 @ 2:51 pm PST

Two great snippets from the EDSBS preview of tonight’s game: Weather: Perfect and Valhalla-ish, because it is California, the place that would be perfect if everyone else hadn’t already figured out the same thing and moved there before you did. 68 degrees and clear at the kick as the sun sinks in pink-red glory behind […]

Gators BCS Championship Gear January 21st, 2009 @ 12:18 pm PST

To celebrate the Florida Gators third BCS Championship, I headed to the fantastic FootballFanatics.com site and purchased a 2006 / 2008 hat combo pack and a couple of t-shirts. I guess they still had a bunch of 2006 hats in stock and were trying to get rid of them; you really can’t beat $34.99 for […]

Stewart Mandel on Tim Tebow January 16th, 2009 @ 10:13 pm PST

In this week’s SI.com College Football Mailbag, Stewart Mandel addresses fans who complain of ‘Tebow Fatigue’. I did not see the Fox telecast of the game, but … unless those guys inferred Tebow literally does leap over tall buildings in a single bound, I’m guessing everything they said is absolutely true. I’ll admit it: I’m […]

BCS Championship Game Video January 11th, 2007 @ 10:10 am PST

How cool is the World Wide Web™? Within 24 hours of the game I was able to use μtorrent to download the entire 2006 BCS Championship Game and watch it using the latest DivX player. The 2.2GB file took about 20 hours to download, but it’s worth it. I’m considering using the office projector to […]

I Predict No Riot January 5th, 2007 @ 1:24 pm PST

Apparently the people in charge in Columbus, Ohio are preparing for the worst. There’s a story on ESPN’s site about how they are planning how to handle rioting in the (unlikely) event that Ohio State beats Florida in Monday night’s BCS Championship game. What does it say about your school and your community when everyone […]

Saturday Night Quarterback

Saturday Night Quarterback September 9th, 2006 @ 8:13 pm PDT

Akron beat the Wolfpack. Tennessee almost drops one to Air Force. FSU has to rally to beat Troy. Spurrier is held scoreless. Texas’ offense plays like a wounded quail. I don’t even know where to begin. One thing is certain: The best team in the country didn’t take the field this weekend. I know Ohio […]

Picking the National Champion

Picking the National Champion September 26th, 2005 @ 4:08 pm PDT

There’s an excellent excerpt from ESPN College Football Encyclopedia: The Complete History of the Game on the ESPN site right now. It’s the story of how the BCS was born and the history of the college football polling system. Go read it!

ACC Refs December 8th, 2003 @ 2:54 pm PST

A short list of groups who should be upset with the ACC officiating crew from the Nov. 29, 2003 University of Florida / Florida State University game: Florida fans USC fans Kansas State fans ABC CBS the BCS cabal the AP voters fans of college football If the refs – Samples, Childress, Roden, Jackson, Foley, […]

National Championship Playoff

National Championship Playoff January 2nd, 2002 @ 9:29 am PST

12/26/2001 — As the college football bowl season winds up with the four Bowl Championship Series games, a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of college football fans shows most would prefer to use a playoff tournament to decide the national champion. Only one in five prefer to keep the current BCS system as it is. Only […]

BCS Shambles

BCS Shambles December 10th, 2001 @ 9:17 am PST

This is the central reason people loathe the BCS. Because it doesn’t account for the human spirit. Because it doesn’t let players decide things on the field with guts and nerve and timing. Because it doesn’t allow a 22-year-old failed baseball player to enter a game and turn the football world on its head.
