(3) Cincinnati (12-0) vs. (5) Florida (12-1) (-13)

Apropos of nothing, here is how I would have matched up the teams in the BCS, instead of the bullsh*t copout games they gave us:
National Championship: Texas vs. Alabama (because I have to)
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. TCU
Fiesta Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Ohio State
Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Iowa
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. ...

What's with the distinction between New Year's Day bowls and the ones that come before it? Ninety percent of those bowls are crap bowls to be playing in no matter what date they're played. Is there really more prestige for Northwestern or Auburn to be playing in the Outback Bowl ...

I think everyone on the planet who would care knows by now that Mike Leach was fired today as head coach of the Texas Tech football program. Most of the firing seems to be the result of the coach's actions toward Adam James, a receiver who sustained a mild concussion, ...

With Tiger Woods now allegedly shacked up with Mistress No. 1, Rachel Uchitel, and the falling of the Axis of Evil that was the pairing of Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson, we've been thinking a lot about these two athletes and their sex lives. We obviously all know about Tiger's ...

I wanted to take a moment to ask EA Sports to include flashback playbooks in next year's college football game. Not just formations, but entire playbooks.
Like the classic Nebraska I-option playbook would be fantastic to run since the option is back in vogue and, well, the Huskers kind of kicked ...
