Everybody knows the BCS is screwed up, that's nothing new to anyone. But does anyone see it for what it really is? I'll explain:
Texas has a VERY valid argument. They should have been in the Big 12 title game, and ultimately the national championship game. Look at it this way: OU beat Texas Tech in Norman. Texas Tech beat Texas in Lubbock. Texas beat OU on a neutral site. Home field advantage is HUGE in college football these days, especially when you play in the Big 12 South. Stadiums that hold 70,000 or more are loud, hostile, and just plain intimidating when they're 90% opposing fans. The OU-Texas game in Dallas was split straight down the middle, and if you watched the game you know what I mean. The stadium was almost exactly half red, half orange. If you want a true champion next year, play all 3 of those games on neutral sites. You'll find out who is truly the best in that division.
The Alabama vs. Utah matchup is intriguing. Utah went undefeated in the MWC and is ranked 6 in the latest BCS poll. If Utah can pull out a win against a pissed off Alabama team, there's the biggest argument of all time for a playoff system. If it happens that Utah wins, how would you know that Utah couldn't beat OU, UF, Texas, USC, or any of the other "major" schools? You wouldn't. If you had a playoff system, even if Utah lost, at least you'd know that you got it right and truly had the best team in the country.
Ohio State has got to be paying someone off. They do NOT deserve to be in the Fiesta bowl AT ALL. They had to hope for Iowa to beat Penn State to just share the Big 10 title. Why couldn't Boise State- a team that went undefeated in the regular season, and beat OU in the Fiesta bowl 2 years ago- replace Ohio State? Another dropped ball by the BCS system.
DOH! Well, after this article, it should be obvious who gets this article's award. the BCS comissioners. Your system sucks. Get rid of it so everyone will be happy. Noone gets upset when the other sports crown their champions.

A few thoughts
Well fans, I've been thinking about this for a while now: What are this years surprises, disappointments and concerns? To save time, space, and my hands from carpal tunnel sydrom, I'll list two per catergory. I'll end with the DOH! award, as always.
Forget that I'm a WVU fan for this article.
Surprises
1-) Georgia Tech- The Jackets look to be comfortable with that triple option offense. The passing game was used beautifully. GT only threw for 1140 yards and 5 TDs AS A TEAM (4 players threw for Tech this year). Shitty, you say? Sure, if this was any other offense, that would be absolutely terrible. But this is GT under Paul Johnson. This is a true triple option offense. The Jackets rushed the ball a whopping 600 times this year for a grand total of 3388 yards. That's an average of 5.6 ypc. To top it off, they hit paydirt 32 times. Now that's eating some clock- a very valuable asset against some of today's high scoring offenses.
Oh, in case you missed it, Ga Tech trampled UGA's defense for 409 rushing yards. Who's the big dawg in the state now, Georgia?
2-) Cincinnati- That's a basketball school right? Wrong. This year it became a football AND basketball school. The Bearcats won the Big East title (with a bit of help from Pitt) in style. Wins on the road at then #25West Virginia (in OT) and then #20Pitt were only part of a 5 game winning streak that UC carries into it's final game at Hawaii (nice place to end a season). Tony Pike made himself known by throwing for just under 2100 yards, with a TD/INT ratio of 17/5. If Chazz Anderson can stay healthy through spring and fall camp, Pike will have a legitimate backup. Anderson threw for 500 yards as a freshman, and in only 3 games played. Cincy could be a Big East contender again next year.
Cincy will likely get the ACC champion in the Orange Bowl.
Disappointments
1-) LSU- The defending national champion is....sitting on their couches during championship weekend. They finished 7-5 (3-5 in the SEC)and lost at Arkansas (5-7, 2-6 SEC) to cap off (in my opinion) the most disappointing season of the year. What went wrong?
LSU was a balanced offense for the most part. 2450 yards in the air(364 attempts), 2000 yards on the ground (460 carries), but they only averaged 30 points a game while giving up 25. Florida hung 51 pts on them, with Georgia ringing up 52 pts. LSU's highest point total of the season was 41- in Baton Rouge against North Texas. Today's SEC is too dangerous for this type of a team to thrive. Some adjustments are needed. We'll see what Les Miles has in store for the bowl.
Speaking of a bowl, LSU is most likely going to the Outback bowl, or the Chick-Fil-A bowl against an ACC team. That should be a confidence boost-depending on who they get.
2-) Georgia- Preseason #1 turned championship-week-couch potato. The Dawgs finished 9-3 (6-2 SEC), lost KEY games. Then #8Bama beat them in Tuscaloosa, then #8Florida beat them at the cocktail party in Jacksonville, and then #22GT upset them between the hedges. All 3 were upsets. That doesn't look too good to voters. They did win at Arizona State, at LSU and at home against then #22Vanderbilt.
Georgia has all the makings for a title run next year however. Stafford is a Junior, Moreno is a sophomore, and possible Heisman candidate for next year. Leading reciever AJ Green is only a freshman. Defense will need to tighten up a little bit, averaging 26 PA per game.
Georgia looks to be headed to the Capital One bowl.
Concerns
1-) Michigan- After posting the worst season in Wolverine football history, Rich Rodriguez will probably not want to go into Athletic Director Bill Martin's office until spring practice rolls around. Sure, he has an offensive system that is on the opposite end of the spectrum than the previous regime's, and inherited talent sutied for that old system. But 3-9 is cause for panic in Ann Arbor. The Blue will miss out on the postseason for the first time in 34 years.
While I do say that this season is cause for panic, I do have to state that Rodriguez is a great recruiter. He'll get his type of players, and Michigan will beat Ohio State in 4 years (write it down now). Wolverine fans, be patient.... Sorry.
As mentioned above, The Blue are missing the postseason. Michigan fans can now cheer for Detroit.... Whoops, sorry.
2-) UCLA- Rick Neuheisal struggled this year, going 4-7 heading into the game against USC. They started off great, upsetting then #18Tennessee in OT. The very next week, they went to BYU with high hopes, only to get those hopes torn apart. Not just a little torn- I'm talking tree chipper vs. toothpick here. BYU demoralized UCLA by not only shutting the Bruins out, but makin them look like pee-wees playing defense. BYU put up 59 points on the powder blue kids. 59! To ZERO! This started a 3 game slide for UCLA.
The best game the Bruins played this year was a 28-3 win. I know what you're thinking- "well that's a good game!" Did I mention that game was at home against Washington State? Enough said.
Neuheisal is an offensive genius, but his team still only managed to scored 19 points per contest. Through 11 games, UCLA has not rushed for 1000 yards as a team, with 11 total players recording rushing stats. It doesn't help that Kevin Craft threw 19 picks and only 7 TDs. Craft is a Junior. The Bruins desperately need to rebuild that offensive line. Craft will struggle through next year if the line doesn't improve, and Freshman Chris Forcier will have the same problem. Upsetting USC this weekend would help UCLA's recruiting base in SoCal and the rest of the western US (including Hawaii). O-linemen out of that region are bred for that type of offense.
UCLA (obviously) is done after Saturday. Countdown to spring ball starts in 4 days Bruins' fans.
DOH!
Well, the award today goes to (drumroll please)........ Plaxico Buress, for reasons that should be obvious to any sports fan. Didn't your momma ever tell you not to take your gun to the club?

Thankgiving week
Welcome back fans. Hope you all had a good amount of turkey this past week. Now for what we're all here for:
Jeff Mullen needs to be fired, or shot, or run out of West Virginia, anything. Get this man out of the coaching booth. Brian Bennet of ESPN shares my thoughts in his blog for this week, "What we learned in the Big East this week":
"2. West Virginia needs an offensive overhaul: Eleven games into the season, it's still hard to tell what the Mountaineers' identity is. One week, they let quarterback Pat White run for 200 yards at Louisville. On Friday at Pittsburgh, they got away from that and tried to throw more, even in the red zone. The offense has been wildly inconsistent all year, especially in some of West Virginia's biggest games. A major revamp needs to happen after the season when White graduates, and the program will need to figure out what type of offense it wants to run in the future."
Thanks Brian, for pointing a finger at Jeff Mullen without actually naming him. This just goes to show that not only are we Mountaineer fans disappointed, but so is the rest of the country. Between Auburn and WVU, I don't know who was the more over-rated team coming into this year. The only reason I'd pick Auburn over WVU? WVU stomped on Auburn in Morgantown this year, thanks to a lights out defense in the 2nd half.
Thanks to Mr. Mullen, the Mountaineers are looking at their first Pre-January bowl game in 4 years, unless the International bowl takes them over UConn. Awesome Jeff, awesome...
Now to the rest of the nation.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I was extremely disappointed in Oregon State, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State this week.
OSU had a chance to put away the Pac-10 title for a shot at the Nittany Lions, and got their asses straight up handed to them AT HOME by Oregon. I know it was a rivalry game and anything can happen in those types of games, but the way the Beavers came out made me think that Oregon was playing for the conference title instead of the Beavers. Now the Beavs need some help from UCLA. If UCLA beats USC, then the Beavs will take the title down to Pasadena. Don't make any plans for the Rose Bowl Beaver fans.
Texas Tech won, beating Baylor. But only 35-28. Crabtree went out in the first quarter, but does that really make THAT much of a difference when your QB is a heisman candidate? He's only got 5 other recievers that are decent. In fact, TTU has 9 recievers over 15 catches this year ( 4 with 40 or more) and they all average at LEAST 10 ypc. Rushing is not a problem for the Red Raiders either. Their top 2 RBs have over 650 yds each, have combined for 19 rush TDs, and average over 5 yards per. What happened boys?
And finally, OK State. Two words: Good God. I was disappointed, but I was also impressed. Putting up 41 against an OU D that allowed more than 30 just 3 times all year (45 pts being the highest-L to Texas) is no small task. But the ol' addage rings true- Defense wins Championships.
"DOH!"- Haha, this week's award got split due to a tie. I couldn't decide!
1-) BCS Voters. OU does NOT belong above Texas. Texas beat OU. Texas will give Alabame a better run for their money in the BCS title game, and OU just let up 41 points this week. And we all know how well OU had fared in recent BCS games....
2-) Gator fans- for talking about winning the national title before you play the toughest game in UF history. Alabama will win this game. Florida's momentum will slow this week, with 2 D-linemen being out and Harvin being "questionable". Alabama on the other hand, just spanked their arch-rival in the Iron Bowl. For the first time in 6 years might I add. Sure, it's Auburn, but a rivalry game can produce anything.
Oh, and Nick Saban is a coaching god.
SEC and Big 12 title games this week. I'd love to see OU get slapped around, but Mizzou is terribly over-rated. Sooners romp. As for the SEC, get your spot on the couch now fans. It's going to be one for the ages. ROLL TIDE!
Dont' forget to kiss the dog, kick the wife and grab a cold beer.

Intro and Thoughts through 11 weeks
Well, first of all, I am the Maniac- Mountaineer Maniac to be exact so I dont get any "I can help you" type comments. That's right, I'm a die hard West Virginia University football fan. I live and die by my Mountaineers as you will find out. I do not live in WV- actually I live in Florida-sadly.
Now, to why I'm here- to rant, rave, and anything else about college football. As I always will, I'll start with my boys:
Look, I understand that you had a great run at Wake Forest Mr. Mullen, but this isn't fuckin Wake Forest. Goin 6-3 through 9 games on a schedule considered to be one of the easiest in major College football is pathetic. I'm not placing all the blame on you for losing to ECU, but that game out in Boulder- all you son. I counted 8 times that you had a 3rd and longer-than-5 situation- with one being a 3rd and 23. Out of those 8 times, you threw screen passes to the wideouts 4 times, and on that 3rd and 23 that was just out of field goal range, you decided to run a draw play up the freakin middle. All that needed to be done was gain 10 yards for Patty Mac to kick a 40 yarder.
The Cincy game was just as bad, sir. Being held to 7 points in the first 3 quarters is absolutely NOT West Virginia football. In fact, it's almost like the Mountaineer Offense was wearing Bearcat uniforms last night. Terrible is all I have to say.
Fans, if Jeff Mullen comes back next year, I think I'll be forced to go sit on Ed Pastilong's front porch with my resume for the OC position. This type of play kills me.
Briefly on the rest of the nation, since it's late and some people have to work tomorrow.
Texas Tech proved me wrong, they now deserve the #2 spot. Graham Harrell should win the Heisman. 40-50 is an insanely good percentage (80% for those who can't do math) and 5 TDs is just as good. Kudos to the defense for stepping up too.
Penn State fell into a trap. Some might say "Iowa was not a trap game". You're wrong, nice try. Iowa's biggest home win before yesterday was against Wisconsin, a 5-3 team. Iowa had not played a ranked team all year, and the Lions got comfortable with a lead in the 4th. Iowa gets it's 6th win. Bowl Bound!
Alabama- Lucky lucky lucky. Escapes with a win in Death Valley to keep the dream alive. Alabama has one test left: Florida in the SEC championship game. Miss St. and Auburn had a chance until the game ended. The Tide will roll through the next 3 weeks. It's gonna be a dandy in Atlanta boys and girls. You're gonna want to save the date.
Now, I'll do one of these every week. I'll pick someone out and laugh at them for stupidity, losing a game they shouldn't have, or just because I feel like picking on them. It's my "DOH!" award.
---Tennessee. Seriously, Wyoming? Wyoming?! A team that lost to Bowling Green by 29 AT HOME? Look, I disagree with hat happened to Coach Fulmer, but come on. It was setup by the college football gods as a feel good game. At home against a previously 3-6 team (now 4-6) who was NOT expected the have a shot at a bowl game this year (or ever again in my mind).. That's right, if Wyoming beats UNLV and Colorado State (hey, it could happen) they are Bowl Eligible. Nice one Vols, it kind of gave me an Appalachian State-Michigan flashback. DOH!
Enjoy Va. Tech at Miami this Thursday night. Battle for sole possesion of 2nd place in the Coastal Division of the ACC. My Pick: VT 23-17.
Don't forget to kiss the dog, kick the wife and have a cold beer. Good Night Fans
