PrintFinally. It's here. The game of the college football year. That's right...Texas Tech v. Texas. 11 a.m. CDT. Austin, Texas. College football fans the world over can barely contain themselves.
Oh, and I hear that LSU and Alabama will square off tonight. How quaint. For the players' sake, I hope people show up to watch them play. Sure, that game's an afterthought to us, but it's a big deal to them.
This is your open thread for college football today.

Should Les Miles just send the FG unit out there now?

Wouldn't it be something if LSU fumbled right here?

So, is the BCS so screwed up that these two teams could go from 1-2 to 3-4 or something like that?

No, but it's screwed up enough that Boise State can drop in the standings without losing

Well, yeah, but Boise state doesn't belong to a "good" conference.
Different rules.

Well, it's not their fault none of the big boys want to play them
Because those teams know by playing Boise State, they’re probably throwing their own national championship hopes out the window

Yes, but isn't that the very point about how screwy the BCS is.
They can’t all play in the more powerful conferences, so they get screwed by that strength of schedule crap. Maybe different rules, but certainly rules biased to keep big schools big and small schools small.

That was my point.
I have predicted on here earlier this year that, should UH reach #10, the BCS computers will meltdown.
If basketball can have playoffs, then so can football.

I don't recall them making it that high.

Ah yeah there highest ranking in 2009 was 15th in the BCS
The Coaches and AP poll had them at 12 and 13 respectively before they lost to UCF.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
There should be a playoff system.
But since their isn’t Boise doesn’t deserve a NC slot if they are always going to be playing weak teams in a weak conference. Maybe once they move to the big East they’ll prove otherwise.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Nick Saban apparently still believes in that antiquated ice the kicker crap.

I have no reason to like LSU...
But I can’t bring myself to root for Saban, so I am satisfied with the outcome.

What, no live feed from the LSU campus?
And did they never play the angle of Tuscaloosa coming back from the tornado?
