The only thing more disastrous than Bob Stoops’s redzone offensive playcalling Thursday night was Fox’s coverage of the Bowl Championship Series. And it was disastrous.

Last night Urban Meyer’s Florida Gators won the second BCS championship for the school in three years, bringing home a third straight BCS title to the SEC. The Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14 with the leadership of Tim Tebow, who should run for President some day if you listened to all of the praise [...]

Pen it in now. Jot it down. Permanent ink. It’s not going to change.

Oklahoma will play Southern California for the national title. It’s set. Plan your trip to Miami.

Mention the Boston College Eagles in relation to the college football world, and one thing comes to mind. Sports fans from all around will make reference to the 1984 game against the Miami Hurricanes. You know the story.  The Eagles needed a touchdown to win the game. A few seconds left on the clock.

It’s the last week of the regular season in big time college football. This means the BCS controversy is approaching full tilt. This year the controversy is over who plays Ohio State for the national championship. Michigan is waiting in the wings if USC collapses against arch-rival UCLA. Then there’s Florida, the [...]
