Tennessee just hired the exact opposite of Lane Kiffin, who himself replaced his exact opposite when Phil Fulmer was run out of town. Tennessee fan, meet Derek Dooley, the least exciting hire ever. This doesn't mean he'll suck, mind you, just that I can think of about 50 people who ...

GMAC Bowl
Central Michigan (11-2) vs. Troy (9-3) (+4)
A nameless, side-by-side comparison of two quarterbacks. See if you can tell me which one is Tim Tebow and which one is Dan LeFevour:
QB #1: 9,285 passing yards, 66.4 completion percentage, 88 passing TD, 16 INT, 692 rushes, ...

FedEx Orange Bowl
(10) Iowa (10-2) vs. (9) Georgia Tech (11-2) (-4)
This might be the only bowl I watch from beginning to end. Seems counter intuitive, doesn't it? But my love of Georgia Tech's offense began way back at the beginning of the 2008 season and ...

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
(6) Boise State (13-0) vs. (4) TCU (12-0) (-8)
This is the biggest bullsh*t matchup since Nebraska got a shot at Miami at the end of the 2001 season even though they didn't even make the Big XII title game. And this game isn't ...

International Bowl
South Florida (7-5) vs. Northern Illinois (7-5) (+7)
I know he wasn't that great, but it's a shame Matt Grothe doesn't get to start for USF Saturday. A season-ending injury for a senior is never a good thing, but even more so for the quarterback ...

(3) Cincinnati (12-0) vs. (5) Florida (12-1) (-13)
There's so much surrounding this game, it's easy to forget Cincinnati is undefeated too. Brian Kelly led his team out of basically nothing into a conference championship and undefeated season. Of course, the "haves" of the college football ...

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, ...

Here's a travesty for you: how the hell did Colt McCoy beat out Case Keenum for the O'Brien Award? A quick statistical comparison:
Colt McCoy: 3,512 yards, 27 TD, 12 INT, 7.5 YPA, 30 sacks, 147.46 rating
Case Keenum: 5,449 yards, 43 TD, 9 INT, 8.27 YPA, 16 sacks, 159.28 rating
And Keenum ...
