Lee Corso on Missouri not getting a BCS game. "I think it sucks!" Pretty cool.

I thought they seemed a little off. I get that a lot.

Pitt '05. Mark Mangino on the phone on ESPN, yet they're showing a picture of him with it. The point of having Mangino on the phone rather than via satellite is that you don't have to look at him.

Oh look, somebody who's paid to be a college football expert doesn't know how the BCS works and claims the Fiesta Bowl passed on ASU. By the time the Fiesta got to pick they could choose West Virginia or Hawaii and nobody else. The Orange screwed things up by inexplicably picking KU. I think there was a backroom deal between Fiesta and Orange to get the 2nd Big 12 team in the BCS, but the Fiesta wouldn't have to have Big 12 vs. Big 12. College football expert also mentioned the possibility of a +1 game on the horizon. Can't wait until the +1 is implemented and in its first year there are 2 undefeated BCS schools who wind up getting screwed over because of it.

Once Yahoo gets a bowl pick em up, I'll start one up so some guy who hasn't talked college football all year can embarrass the rest of us.

Those are my spreads.

Oh so you go to kU? They don't have the championship rich history of the Tigers, that's for sure. This coming from an Illinois guy? Well, we have played in January in my lifetime. That's true. Which loss was your favorite? Of Missouri's? Probably one of the Oklahoma games. If only the Fiesta would've had a chance to do the honorable thing and picked Missouri for OU/Mizzou III. Surely Missouri would cover this time around. No no, which Illinois loss in January was your favorite? The time they got shut out by Clemson? What about when they got blown out by UCLA? I think January '08 will be my favorite Illinois loss, but we'll see. Let's see if you're as clairvoyant with this pick as you were with Mizzou/OU II.

Those were my odds guys. I'm sure Vegas won't agree with me. Oh, and June Jones just ripped Tim Tebow on ESPN calling him a system QB. Meph's booking his flight to Hawaii right now.

Ronny is the Cubs best option at SS for '08. The Cubs will trade him for this year's Stephen Randolph. Ronny has not had several chances. He had '06. He sucked beyond all suck. The point in bringing age into the discussion, is that if you put Ryan Theriot out there for a full season at the age of 22, he would've sucked even worse. To throw Ronny away because of '06 is foolish.

Mark Richt nails it on ESPN's bowl special. They did the same thing to GA that they did to UM, and it's BS. If you didn't think GA was the 4th best team the week before then don't put them up there. If you did think GA was the 4th best team last week, then they should be the 2nd ranked team this week. The voters manipulated their ballots to set up the title game.

So roll call, who's going to Pasadena with me?

Gee, I wonder why is that? Because they're SEC home games?

My rankings off the top 14 teams. 1. OSU 2. USC 3. Oklahoma 4. LSU 5. Georgia 6. Missouri 7. West Virginia 8. Kansas 9. Florida 10. Va Tech 11. Illinois 12. Arizona State 13. Hawaii 14. Clemson

All the Mizzou complaining about Illinois is misguided. Our Rose Bowl appearance has nothing to do with you guys. Blame KU and their morbidly obese coach.

Hahahaha UM (+32) PLEASE

Individual games don't matter. Don't doubt Sagarin. Or TIM TEBOW.

California, California, HERE WE COMEEEEEEEEEEEEE Yeah, lame, but oh well. Thanks IMB!

Weber State must really suck huh. He had some great performances last year against lower conference teams then disappeared come Big 10 play. I'm hoping for some improvement, and that he can be the shooter off the bench that we haven't had since Jamar was an idiot.
