College football is cool



When you stop to think about college football and its organization you have to consider that it is truly awesome. I love the fact that over 150 teams have the opportunity to vie for the number 1 spot on top of the BCS. Of course, we all know that 80% of these teams don't have an icicle's chance in hell of reaching the summit, but that still leaves about 30 teams to duke it out.

Case and point: Kansas Jayhawks (10-0) (6-0 conf.) Who would have thought that at the start of the NCAA basketball season the folks in Lawrence would be going loony for their school's football team and not for the b-ball team. Nobody really gave Kansas a chance at the beginning of the year, and now they are on top of a Big 12 conference that houses some premier schools including Nebraska and Missouri.

Arizona State Sun Devils: (9-1) (6-1 conf.) C'mon, I gotta mention my boys! Every year the potential for the dudes in Tempe are sky high, however, most years they fail to make it past 7 wins and a trip to Hawaii (not a bad consolation prize, huh?). But this year they have maxed their star power and with the help of first year coach Dennis Erickson they are atop the LOADED Pac-10 and looking to play in their first Rose Bowl since Jake 'The Snake' Plummer was calling the shots. GO DEVILS!!!

Of course there are a few other schools that deserve honorable mention - how about Central Florida's reign earlier this season? There have been so many upsets this season, I cant wait to watch this Saturday!!

Hey Kansas fans! Want tickets to the Big Twelve Championship Game??
