Point: With Bowl Season still over a month and a half away, I find it highly disturbing that this question needs to be asked. The beauty of the current system is that each and every game counts, and even a game against an unranked opponent can have as big of an effect on your season […]
Head Coaches set a standard with how they present themselves, and they’re expected to look the part. You can’t just throw on the clipboard/headset combo and expect to command respect — you gotta have some added style. In the NBA, Pat Riley’s trend-setting hairstyle inspired the likes of Gordon Gecko and Chase Utley, and even […]
Unlike Baseball’s 162 game snoozefest or Basketball’s 5 month regular season, in College Football, every week truly counts — a single loss can spoil a team’s National Title hopes faster than Tim Tebow can say a Hail Mary. And this year, with so many teams still undefeated this late into the season, the job of […]
Anyone who’s ever worked in an office knows that the day to day grind can be pretty mundane. From hearing all about your coworker’s morning commute to counting down the minutes till 5PM, there’s not much glamour to life in the cubicle, even when your job is ranking College Football teams. So this week, we […]
It’s well documented that I’ve never been a fan of the D.C. brass, and their relentless pursuit to destroy the hard work that we here at the BCS pour ourselves into has driven me to the bottle on more than one occaison. But I’m not the only one: Ned has developed a raging case of OCD, […]
All season long, the infamous BCS Committee has been running the numbers, breaking down the schedules and, of course, throwing monkey feces at the wall. But with the release of the first official BCS rankings of 2009, the pressure’s really on the chimps to deliver the goods. The media’s homoerotic love for Tim Tebow made it […]
It’s been a long off-season for college football’s most powerful chimps, but things certainly haven’t quieted down at BCS Headquarters. Whether it’s the politicians in D.C. or the fans in Utah, there are still plenty calling for a revamped ranking system and better postseason structure. But despite the grumblings, the BCS Committee has a job […]
Pardon us, but something seems off here… When you suffer a near-fatal injury due to a bench press bar, why in the name of O.J. Simpson would you wear a shirt that prominently features a bench press bar bent over an SC logo? There’s something strange going on in Southern California these days. This is […]
“Any body got questions? Besides her? Just like a woman…” – FSU Coach Bobby Bowden, when questioned about his future as Coach of the Seminoles Point: As a seasoned leader of men, I can understand where Bobby Bowden is coming from. When the going gets tough, nothing’s easier than blaming a woman, and no one […]
Point: Every great man faces challenges, and when you’re young, it’s the time to learn from your mistakes. Ronald Reagan was acting in shitty B-movies before he landed his gig in the Oval Office, and I heard that Nicolas Sarkozy was a hustler on the streets of Marseille before shacking up with a supermodel and […]
With last night’s drubbing of #14 Georgia Tech, the Miami Hurricanes established that, after years of irrelevancy, they are once again a contender. But the ‘Canes ascendance doesn’t just mean that we’ll be seeing more of them on national TV, and perhaps during bowl season. It also means it’s time to fucking party. The last […]
Point: Sam Bradford could’ve had it all. After last season’s Heisman campaign, Sammy was slated to be a top draft pick, and given all the turnover in the NFL at the quarterback position, he probably would have been starting from day one. He took his team to a National Championship, cementing himself as a Sooner […]
Only one game is in the books, but it’s already started up again. With Boise St.‘s thrashing of Oregon last night, Herbstreet and the rest of the peanut gallery are already clamoring about this year’s “BCS buster.” Can Boise St. run the table? And if they do, will they have a shot at a BCS […]
All eyes were on Orrin Hatch yesterday, the curmudgeonly Senator from Utah, whose hatred of the BCS system has somehow made national news. His inaccurate portrayal of my organization has led to negative press coverage, a looming antitrust suit, and a stomach ulcer that’s giving me terrible gas. So, needless to say, I hate that […]
I was horrified by the news that Jeffrey Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, was stepping away from the University of Illinois basketball team to focus on his studies. As an agent who prides himself on guiding young athletes through the difficult decisions facing them, I wish I’d been involved…because this one was a no-brainer. There […]
In my continuing series on why women’s basketball is about as interesting as watching paint dry, I present you with the following: According to ESPN, Elena Delle Donne, the women’s basketball star recruit who left UConn last season after only 48 hours on campus because she had “burned out” on the sport, has admitted that […]
Normally, I’d rather watch re-runs of Mr. Belvedere than tune into an NBA game. But this time of year, it’s hard to avoid. LeBron this, Kobe that…it gets sickening. Just get it over with — we all know who’s gonna be in the finals. Or so I thought. This past weekend, the failure of a […]
First he wanted to reform healthcare, then it was the BCS system, and now it’s Notre Dame’s football program? That’s right, our wonderful President has promised that, if elected to a second term, he will turn Notre Dame’s football team around. Now, let’s face it: outside of South Bend, no one gives a rat’s ass […]
We all know the flaws of a playoff system — the best teams never face off, and you’re just as likely to pick the winner at random as you are with an educated guess. So when I saw this site, which allows you to make a bracket for anything, I couldn’t help but get a […]
