Neuheisel said last week that UCLA had "closed the gap" with SC. Good thing, otherwise USC might have scored 100.Dear UCLA,
Enjoy your trip to Oregon as the Pac 12 South "champions".
Your Pals,
USC
Nor is this. And I'm alright with it.
What's more is that reportedly Luke Fickell is staying on staff and is rumored to be offered the DC position. Nice to see those overtures, given that Fickell had an impossible job this season yet handled it about as well as a man could, with grace and directness.

That kinda sucks for him. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten shutout against USC.
@kegsneggs on twitter: Sources are telling me that the Pac-12 Championship line will open at LOLOLOLOLOLOL tomorrow evening.
Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman has been fired.
sherman was a good man and represented the university in the best possible manner. but in the end, he did not get enough wins. Although I think he had to be fired, I don't like how it was handled. Apparently, he was in the driveway of a recruit when the athletic director called him with the news. And his family knew about it before he did.
That's better than the coach fired last week as he was driving to his mother's funeral.

Akron is never going to win no matter who they put in that position.... but that's a really shitty thing to do to somebody. I hope the AD got an earful.
Georgia are being dumbasses. The onside kick was completely nonsensical imo and pure desperation without LSU even having scored yet. And they didn't even score off it.
That's the whole point. Teams do it all the time. It's a legal play.
I thought it was just risky as fuck for no good reason. It was executed perfectly though.
UGA just REALLY wants to win the SEC championship.
Go Dawgs!
Total yardage in game now favors UGA 134-7.

Oklahoma State is currently killing Oklahoma (and, thusly, my dad, who is an OU fan 
), but the national championship will probably still be Alabama/LSU because college football is stupid.
If you don't win your own conference, you shouldn't even be in the discussion, IMO.

46 years of teasing and frustration. 46 years of salt rubbed in the wound year after year after year. Old men in crimson and cream shirts getting in my face when I was six years old (no I'm not making this up) in pigtails and wearing my little orange shirt at bedlam telling me, "I bet you they don't even score." My father was not pleased with that nasty old man. Years and years with a rust bucket of a stadium and no indoor practice facility to even begin to compete. Weeks of fans calling in to crow to the local radio shows, "When you win a conference title....then you have permission to speak." 
I'm speaking. OU, you suck.
Try having your quarterback hold on to the ball. It might help. YOU. SUCK. Your pre season anointed national championship team just finished third in the conference. Not second. Third. BWA HA HA HA HAAA!!! My SOB of a boss is the biggest OU fan in the world. Mr Dish it out but can't take it. Oh, this is going to be delightful beyond words. While I personally think the rules should be changed to make onside kicks easier, I like this bounce the ball as soon as its kicked philosophy. This is the second time I've seen it this season (the other was in some NFL game, don't think it worked though) and both times I couldn't even tell the ball had bounced from the kick. If teams can get the hang of fielding these things, it could make the onside kick a very interesting tool, both as a surprise and when its necessary.
Why isn't this the case in NCAA basketball? UConn didn't win their regular season championship last year. Baseball? In the pros, no one complains when a wild card team wins the Super Bowl or World Series even though by the "ought to win your conference/division" argument they shouldn't have been in contention in the first place. Why hold 1A football to a different standard?Oklahoma State is currently killing Oklahoma (and, thusly, my dad, who is an OU fan

The system, as it exists right now, is designed to match the two best teams and allows for the possibility those teams might come from the same conference. Arguably, that's the case this season. Should the rematch take place and Alabama win, it may prompt the BCS to revise its rules. If so, fine, but that's not what's in place now.
All that said, I've long felt only conference champs should be able to play for a national championship. Playoff systems with enough wildcards and at-large teams for half the league to get in (NBA, NHL), are ridiculous and completely devalue the regular season. Sixty-four teams get into the NCAA basketball tournament? Are there sixty-four conferences? Not by a long shot. If the season doesn't matter, why not just start a 100+ team tournament in September and play that instead? Every week in 1A football is (usually) life-or-death in terms of winning it all. That's what makes it exciting. This year's something of an anomaly. Alabama's loss to LSU should have been fatal in terms of a championship shot and would have been had so many other teams (OSU, Stanford, Oregon, etc.) not stumbled as badly or worse.
