Charlie Weis is coming back to college. Again.
Not for a head coaching job, though. Tons and tons of people are saying he's going to take the OC job at the University of Florida. Once can assume Weis will be given full control of the Gator offense since Muschamp is a ...

Connecticut (8-4) vs. (7) Oklahoma (11-2) (-17)
Nice little gift here for Oklahoma since their history in BCS games isn't so pretty. But wait, they were favored against West Virginia too! Yeah, that WVU team had Steve Slaton and Pat White. There's not one offensive skill player on UConn that would ...

(5) Wisconsin (11-1) vs. (3) Texas Christian (12-0) (-3)
I love how so many previews for this game are making Wisconsin look like a king-hell offensive juggernaut that will lay waste to TCU's defense and then burn Fort Worth to the ground just to make a point. The Badgers ran the ...

(21) Mississippi State (8-4) vs. Michigan (7-5) (+4.5)
I wonder how Michigan fans would feel if the coaches had to switch teams after the coin toss. Would the Michigan Wolverines be any better off? Would anything change for them?
My point is that firing Rich Rodriguez for anyone but Jim Harbaugh is ...

Florida (7-5) vs. Pennsylvania State (7-5) (+7)
At the end of the regular season, I thought it would be Mack Brown who left his program after a rough rebuilding year. Turns out it was Urban Meyer and his enormous ego that couldn't take single-digit wins and a non-BCS bowl game.
Meyer's "leaving ...

(16) Alabama (9-3) vs. (9) Michigan State (11-1) (+10)
I realize it would just be more money for the rich among the college football teams, but isn't one of the fundamental flaws in the BCS that UConn gets to play a BCS game while these two teams are in Orlando? Sure, ...

Northwestern (7-5) vs. Texas Tech (7-5) (-9.5)
Thank God for Wikipedia or I would have reached the limit of the effort I wanted to put into finding out about this bowl game. Apparently, it's being played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas since the actual Cotton Bowl game is being moved ...

(20) South Carolina (9-4) vs. (23) Florida State (9-4) (+3)
I grew up in the 1990's, and if I learned anything about Steve Spurrier in that time it's that he owns the other schools from the state of Florida. I honestly couldn't tell you what his record against them was or ...

Despite loads of speculation that he would turn pro after the BCS Championship game, draft-eligible sophomore LaMichael James says he will return to the University of Oregon next year.
"I came to the University of Oregon to get a quality education as well as to play football, and I feel I ...

Georgia (6-6) vs. (25) Central Florida (10-3) (+6.5)
It seems like Georgia should just outclass UCF once the two teams meet in Memphis. Even though the Bulldogs are an extremely mediocre team, their talent is a level or three above UCF's, and they swim in a much bigger pond week to ...
