This weekend, ESPN GameDay is going to Provo for the BYU-TCU game. That’s cool. But could we see an even more improbable visit to a mid-major showdown by Herbie, Corso and Fowler next month? Pat Forde asks: The [Idaho] Vandals were 3-21 the previous two years. Now they’re 6-1, off to their best start since their days as an FCS… Read more »
It’s been a week since my original BCS pecking order post, and a number of things have changed: Virginia Tech and Ohio State lost, USC beat Notre Dame, Cincinnati beat South Florida, the Big 12’s implosion continued, and more. Plus, the first BCS standings came out, I looked at a few things more closely, re-considered a few scenarios, etc. Anyway,… Read more »

Previous October 15 anniversary posts here and here. BEAT! THE IRISH!
In my post on the BCS pecking order last weekend, LSU fan Matt Wiser made an excellent, horrifying point that I hadn’t thought of. There is actually a very real possibility of a Florida-Alabama BCS championship game — an all-SEC matchup for all the marbles, causing Hitler and I to protest: “HOW THE F*** DO WE KNOW THEY’RE SO GOOD… Read more »
