In an attempt to suck even more, it looks like the BCS is going to consider seeding the Top 4 teams, having the BCS Championship Game and THEN add a "Plus One" game. Confused? You should be.
Luckily the Pac-10, Big-10 and Rose Bowl aren't interested.
Plus One would potentially seed the top four teams in the final BCS standings. No. 1 would play No. 4 and No. 2 would play No. 3 in two of the major BCS bowls, and the winners would then play for the BCS title.
Swofford admitted Plus One would not solve the controversies that have often plagued the BCS since its inception in 1998.
If Plus One was used this year, Georgia and USC, two of the hottest teams in the country, would not have made the cut. Georgia finished No. 5 in the BCS standings; USC was No. 7.
Can we ever just get a playoff and end this nonsense? Please?In an attempt to suck even more, it looks like the BCS is going to consider seeding... more

Monday, sources told ESPN.com that Arkansas had focused its coaching search on Bowden and was prepared to offer Bowden a contract in excess of $2 million annually.
"He was gone this morning," a source told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach. "He was just looking for more stability. He's excited about the team he's got coming back and the recruiting class coming in. They have good momentum and he and his family are happy there."
Bowden agreed to an extension with Clemson that will run through at least the 2012 season. The new contract will pay him around $2.2 million annually. ""Tommy Bowden agreed to a contract extension to remain Clemson's coach... more

I was laughing out loud reading this. Perhaps my hometown bias made me appreciate the article all the more, as he's making the case for Hawaii to have ended ranked higher than they were, and to be in a better bowl... But any football fan will appreciate his assessment, I think. Monkeys slinging poo! HA!I was laughing out loud reading this. Perhaps my hometown bias made me appreciate the... more

The Broncos accepted an invitation to the Hawaii Bowl yesterday dogging Boise's own Humanitarian Bowl to play the East Carolina Pirates just a month after losing to Hawaii in the WAC championship. Can't say I blame the Broncos for wanting to go kick it on the beach, but by accepting the bid, the Broncos are giving up a shot at Georgia Tech, an ACC team, and disappointing many of us here in Boise.The Broncos accepted an invitation to the Hawaii Bowl yesterday dogging Boise's... more

Another great great example of why the Utah BYU football rivalry is so intense. Journalist Mike Sorenson of the Deseret Morning News who covers the Utah team said that BYU receiver Austin Collie's post game comments were religiously intolerant. Collie had said this in regards to his 4th and 18 catch that won the game for BYU.
"I wouldn't say it was lucky. We executed the play well. We should have had another one (TD). Obviously, if you do what's right on and off the field, I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it. Magic happens."
Wow, when will the political correctness stop. How many players have we seen thank God in their interviews, or point to the sky after a home run or touchdown. Should we condemn them all! Maybe Collie should have not acknowledged the help from above and been selfish, taking all the credit for himself. Maybe that is what is expected in the current world we live in!!!

This playoff bracket could make March Madness look less ridiculously awesome. Although I am not convinced that having a 16 team playoff is the answer doesn't this look like a great way to spend December and the first week of the New Year. AROC certainly thinks so... I dream of the office pools, the rivalries, the cinderellas, etc that only a playoff system can truly bring. I believe that we could still potentially have the same amount of bowl games even with the playoff system. JUST MAKE THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS "BOWL GAMES"!!! ANYWAY OOps (caps lock was on), read the article and write to your senator. Lets get the playoffs started!

This certainly hasn't been the season either team anticipated, but once again, we find ourselves in a familiar position - Bruins vs Trojans with the Rose Bowl on the line. Exactly how it should be.
After knocking off another Top-10 team (sorry Oregon - we started a 4th string QB converted from WR the last few weeks, we don't have any sympathy for your injury woes) UCLA suddenly finds itself right where it belongs - in the thick of the Race to the Roses.
Sure, our Bruins need a little help from Arizona if we can knock the evil Trojans off again, but oh how sweet it would be. Again.

One of the most bitter rivalry games in the nation has been won by BYU! For the second straight year the Cougars used an improbable last minute drive to capture the victory. The rivalry is so intense because both university's are within thirty minutes of each other, BYU is private, Utah is public. BYU is of course owned by the Mormons and Utah is not. Watch the follwing link to see the most unbelievable finish to last years game at Utah.

Unbeaten is still unbeaten...
Didn't Boise State prove the WAC conference's legitimacy when they embarrassed Big 12 power Oklahoma last year?
Thus Hawaii being considered worse than the one loss and two loss teams in front of them is a joke...
