No sports fans, just because Ohio State-Michigan is over it DOESN’T mean that the college football season is over until January. Alex Ferguson serves up four games that you SHOULD be watching over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Usually I’ll leave other people for superlatives, but for when two unbeaten teams, ranked #1 and #2 in the nation, get together for a game which virtually decides who’s going to the National Championship game in January, then I’m the first to say that it doesn’t get bigger than this. This is the big one…Michigan vs Ohio State.

In the 2006 college football season, this weekend was pretty much written off as a weekend where we had one or two big games, but nothing that should have shocked the pollsters.
But by God, it did.

So, I got word yesterday from the NCAA that for a season, I was God. I, as commissioner for one week in the 2007 college football year, could match up the teams I wanted and they weren’t allowed to complain.
After I sent Notre Dame to Texas, I then stopped to think what might happen if I put SEC and Big Ten teams together. One thing’s for certain: must-see TV. Well, unless you hate SEC and Big Ten football….

Sure a lot of people hate him. At times, he’s an angry old man who chases Big Ten officials down and scolds them like a schoolchild. But a lot of people love him too. Alex Ferguson tries to look at 2005’s Coach of the Year, and work out why there’s a love affair at all.
