It seems all the best QBs in the NFL (Minus Carson Palmer) all seem to come from lesser football universities.

usc only lost to them b/c they couldnt stop that midget jacquizz.

as long as we dont take it on the chin like wisconsin i'll be happy

The Nits should make a game of it, as long as Poopy-pants stays in his skybox.

Pretty good Holiday Bowl game between Okie State and the Ducks (heh, I almost wrote "Dicks"). 17-14 State leading in the third quarter with Bryant having a career day so far with 10 catches for 128 yards and a TD.

[Colonel Flagg]

End of the third quarter with the Ducks on top 28-24. Jeremiah Masoli is also having quite the game for Oregon, not so much passing the ball, but running the quarterback draw. Two touchdowns this quarter.

Good game.

[Colonel Flagg]

35-31 Ducks, 5 lead changes in the second half, looks like whoever has the ball last is going to win this thing.

EDIT: Looks like Oregon will win this thing 42-31. A great performance by the Ducks QB Masoli - again, running the ball, not passing.

[WhiteRat]

I fucking hate Oregon. That is all.

[Colonel Flagg]

The Nits are getting hammered.

[pac-man]

I expected them to put up a bit more of a fight, but the Trojans were just hitting on all cylinders.

[Pentegarn]

Well it didn't help that the PSU team that played in the first half was clumsy and abysmal. Had they played the first half more like the second half, it would have been a better game

[WhiteRat]

Three great bowl games yesterday. Kentucky came back to beat ECU in spectactular fashion, Ole Miss shocked everyone by manhandling the D-less Red Raiders, and Utah made everyone shit pants x2 by controlling Bama.

I said before the game that if Utah came out hot and scored very early they would be able to hang in there and make a game of it. I definitely did not expect this one, though.

Assuming Florida wins the top spot, the top 3 final AP poll should have USC at 2 followed by Utah in the 3 spot.

Both USC and Utah have good cause to scream in outrage that they were not given a shot at the BCS now

[Colonel Flagg]

A playoff system is obviously the only solution that will make everyone, except the NCAA, happy.

Spanked! Damn USC is fast.

Thank you Utah for taking a big shit on the BCS.
Fans want playoffs. Teams want playoffs. make it happen already

[pac-man]

Fiesta Bowl is boring. I guess Texas is mailing it in because they know they're not getting a National Championship. They're still beating Ohio State, though, so if they can sleepwalk and still beat the no. 10 team then to me they're an elite team.

Can't believe College Football season is already over.

[Pentegarn]

What a heart breaker

[WhiteRat]

Minnesota lost it's Offensive AND Defensive coordinators in the same day. Mike Dunbar was basically fired but Ted Roof bolted for more money at Auburn. I pray that we don't lose any recruits over this.

[pac-man]

I really hope Utah gets the AP no. 1, regardless of what happens tonight.

Having said that, I think Oklahoma will outspeed Florida. It'll be competitive, sure, but the Sooners will likely be able to put more points on the board.

[pac-man]

The Gators have momentum on their side and are playing some lights out defense. Stoops is proving a lot of sportswriters right.

[Pentegarn]

I boycotted the BCS Championship game because it is quite frankly a fraud match.

I did read it was a sloppy crap match though which made me LOL

[pac-man]

It wasn't crap, and the sloppiest play came from Tim Tebow on two interceptions that were very uncharacteristic. To say he redeemed himself in the second half is an understatement. Bradford's INTS could've bounced the other way just as easily.

It was just a defensive game, which is something that nobody saw coming. A lot of impressive performances, though. Harvin came through big, Major Wright had the big INT, and Tebow was Tebow. Don't know how he'll pan out in the NFL if he goes, but the guy is the best college player I've ever watched play.

Sportswriters are chicken shit. How you vote against Utah in this instance is beyond me. What the hell does this "BCS Conference" nonsense apply when Utah beat some great teams in a dominant fashion and was the only undefeated team in the nation. If anybody truly believes that the college football regular season is its playoff, then common sense suggests that the team that hasn't lost any games is the champion.
