Rich Rod

Rod is a complete tool. I'm going to write an extensive post after work today. The media (and when I say media I mean ESPN, ESPN.com) is a lap dog to the population centers of the north, east and west coast. He told his AD he was resigned via a letter that he gave a grad assistant to pass along. Michigan did not ask permission to speak with Rod either. (translation=Rich's agent told MI not to do anything because they didn't want WVU to get involved and try to up the ante.) But Saban is the devil and Petrino is his dog.

Number 1 and 2

“Playoffs? Playoffs?” - Jim Mora, Sr.

What the hell happened last night? The better question: “What the hell happened this season?”

It has been an incredible college football year. The problem is that it is over. There is no clear-cut number 1, and there is no clear-cut number 2. Wait, Ohio State should be number 1. If you get to number 1 by default then you probably should not be there. The way they played last year in January combined with a horrible schedule does not give them any brownie points.

Missouri lost twice…To the SAME team. Kansas turned out to be a bust. Georgia lost to Tennessee (that in itself should disqualify a team from being number 1). Florida had the best player in college football and lost three games. I could write a dissertation on LSU and coach Less Miles. They are my vote for number 1 (they were undefeated in regulation). Hawaii does not even need to be mentioned for a spot in the top five.

There are other teams worth mentioning, but my point is, there should be a playoff. Ten or Sixteen spots would take care of the current mess. That way everyone with a claim would have a shot. This year might as well been the year that leads to the downfall of the Bowl Championship series as we know it today.

Everyone deserves a shot but come Sunday afternoon, only two will get there shot.
