Wild Card and BCS Wackiness


1. For the first time ever I did not watch the complete BCS Title game. Like many fans of the college football, this title and much of the bowl games were a joke. Nick Saban might feel good about winning but he and his Crimson Tide did not belong in that game. The interesting part of all of this is how the BCS announced before the game that changes were coming to the system. College football and all of its cronies who have bilked the system for years are now starting to feel the pressure of a playoff. Why now people may wonder. It's simple: If you look at all the bowl games from this past season, attendance was way down and the popularity has for all the bowls. The bowls have taken a hit financially and now they want some renewed interest. Its about time!!

2. Don't understand Les Miles decided not to play Jarrett Lee. It was obvious to the masses the Jordan Jefferson was not getting it done.

3. Does Baylor have a monopoly on stud players with the third in their last name? Robert Griffin III Heisman trophy winner and Perry Jones III could be the national player of the year in men's college basketball.

4.Moving on to the Wild Card, Mike Smith and the Falcons have some serious issues. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't make a strong run next year that Arthur Blank could replace him.

5. Who would have thought that Michael Vick would have a better career record in the playoffs as Matt Ryan. I would also say that Michael Vick is a better qb than Ryan as well. The Falcons have surrounded Ryan with more talent than Vick had when he was there and Matty "Ice" can't get it done.

6. Hopefully the NFL let's the 49ers and Ravens play tough defense in their divisional games.

7. This is no disrespect to Tebow but the reason why the Steelers loss was the arrogance of Dick Lebeau. They never changed their coverage and respected Tebow as a passer. If the Steelers make the adjustments on defense they win the game easily.

8. Is anyone surprised at how the Raiders keep changing coaches? A word to the Bay Area rebels: Get stability in the franchise and the staff and the players will develop.

9. The best thing for the St. Louis Rams may be if Jeff Fisher decides to take the Dolphins job. I know Fisher is a great coach but his particular style of conservative offense will not work in the league. The game has changed and now its all about spreading teams out and scoring lots of points. Fisher believes a field goal is a win. That worked 10 years ago but not today. If he does go to St. Louis, they have to hope he opens it up and actually uses Bradford's ability.

10. Check out the End Zone later this week for a Bold Prediction.
