A Recap of the College Football Season

Now that the college football season is over and we are headed into the bowl season, I have a few thoughts, comments, and overall observations that have been made.

I feel that for the first time in awhile that the all 5 of the BCS games look like pretty good contests. My predictions: USC over Penn St.; Alabama over Utah; Cincy vs. Va Tech, no one watches or cares; Texas over THE Ohio St.; Oklahoma over Florida.

Notre Dame took the always sought after Hawaii Bowl bid to face....you guessed it Hawaii. Either not alot of bowls wanted Notre Dame or Charlie needed to work on his tan. I really can't wait until I turn on my TV and don't have to hear 50 sports writers screaming about why Notre Dame kept Charlie Weis. No one cares anymore!!!! Look I get it, Notre Dame is a great football tradition, and used to be really good like 50 years ago, even as a fan I am sick of the broken record. Why don't we talk about something more exciting like........paint drying or the World Series of Poker.

RETURN TO GLORY!!!!!!

After watching the Big-12 championship game I have to come to finally notice that referee's are in fact scared of Bob Stoops. While I'm not here to make excuses, Oklahoma is much better than Mizzou, but COME ON!!!!! The guy was just given 15 yards pretty much whenever the refs deemed necessary, and of course my favorite the infamous injury timeout with 10 seconds left on the play clock. Unless Demarcus Granger shanked a teammate (not too unlikely) it should have been a charged timeout. I feel Bob Stoops is like the girl who threatens you with a sexual harassment law suit at your job.......you might be nice, hell you might even be mean, but you will never screw them again.

The ACC and Big East conferences should be placed somewhere on an island or desert until basketball season, because right now they are just taking up space for more Big-12 and SEC schools in the BCS. While both conferences have GOOD teams, none of them are worthy of a BCS bid, so yet another year of a sloppy Orange Bowl (Thanks KU). While the score will be close, the game will reek of day old prom night vommit leaving me feeling more disappointed than after the punchline of a Family Guy joke......c'mon how dumb are we as a society that we laugh at something that someone else said 10 years ago......every week!!!!!

You think that's bad, remember
when they let KU in the Orange Bowl?

And finally, the BCS system.....I am here taking a stand that there is no need for a playoff system. A few tweaks here and there, such as no teams outside of the top 10 or no conference limit. With these tweaks, it would allow for much better games, no need for a playoff. The reason the college football season is so important is that it makes every game that important. With a playoff, a Penn St. loss to Iowa or USC loss to Oregon St. is meaningless, because they still have a shot. What would be the point of Oklahoma showing up for the Big-12 Championship, they still make the playoffs. Every win and every moment when it comes to elite games are special, a playoff could make college football as unappealing as the NFL, please college football don't do that.
