College Football: Championship Weekend!

[Moral Hazard]

I could say other things like how the all 6 computers (whose SOS is the most official) and both human polls put Auburn below USC and OU but I'll refrain

Some people say sports teaches us to deal with real life. If one thing is true about real life it's that life isn't fair and neither is the BCS.

what a great excuse for racism and slavery

tell em life isnt fair.

[Moral Hazard]

Odd reply. I guess I should have added a smiley.

A better example would be being passed up for a promotion because the company uses a metric which you didn't do as well at, or because you don't go golfing with your boss. Yes, a playoff is a better solution but I don't think thats going to change soon. Im hoping for a plus one game in the near future, but that won't help Auburn or Utah this year.

In the final quarterfinal match, the Sooners blank the Cardinals, 22-0.


However, in the semifinals, the Sooners were shocked by the Wolverines, 24-9.

Meanwhile, the Broncos eviscerated the Hokies, 29-3.


And the finals?

Hail to the victors, baby. Michigan defeats three straight undefeated teams and wins the 3rd Annual GGNCAACFT with a 23-6 victory over the Broncos.



Coming soon--the Drake Invitational.

I hope my invitational is less obviously biased than the GGNCAACFT was. Michigan wins it all? How very convenient...

[Guynemer]

Hey, Michigan was in it last year, and lost in the first round.

Just dumb luck. But I ain't complaining.

[Drake Tungsten]

So I guess a PM asking for the Huskers to win the Drake Invitational is out of the question, then?

[Guynemer]

Yes. Sorry. We won't be extending invites to 6-7 teams.

[Shi Huangdi]

Go Pitt Go!

From 2-2, to the BCS!

Penn State Sucks!

[Drake Tungsten]

'Skers went 5-6...

They did beat Pitt, though.

What a suprise.

Notre Dame is looking at two NFL offensive coordinators: Weiss (Patriots) and Clements (Bills). Both are interesting to me, although I wonder how they will do with recruiting. Both have solid ND ties. I don't know too much about either.

The outgoing ND president really laid into the decision to fire Willingham. Interesting.

Notre Dame reportedly interested in Patriots assistant

Associated Press

BOSTON - Notre Dame, seeking a successor to fired football coach Tyrone Willingham, has contacted the New England Patriots about interviewing offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, The Boston Globe reported Thursday.

It's "nothing that we would comment on," Patriots spokesman Stacey James said.

Former Notre Dame coach Tom Clements is scheduled to meet with Notre Dame officials Friday, a football source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The Globe attributed the report on its Web site, Boston.com, to a source involved in the hiring process at Notre Dame and a source in the NFL with ties to Weis. The report said the school could interview Weis as early as Friday or Saturday.

Weis' agent, Bob LaMonte, told The Associated Press earlier Thursday that he had not heard from Notre Dame, saying he thought the school was focusing on Clements. A message seeking comment was left by the AP at LaMonte's office after the Globe posted the story on its Web site.

The AP also left a message seeking comment on the answering machine at Weis' home.

John Heisler, Notre Dame's associate athletic director, said Thursday the university would not comment.

The Patriots play at home Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Weis, who attended Notre Dame, but never played college football. Weis started as a high school coach in Morristown, N.J., then was hired as an assistant coach at South Carolina from 1985-88.

He joined the NFL in 1990 as a defensive assistant and assistant special teams coach with the New York Giants. He spent three seasons there, three as a Patriots assistant and three more as an assistant with the New York Jets.

When Bill Belichick became coach of the Patriots in 2000, he named Weis, 48, his offensive coordinator.

Weis was a candidate for several NFL head coaching jobs last season, but said coaching the Patriots to the Super Bowl hurt his chances of landing a job.

Clements, 51, played quarterback for the Irish under coach Ara Parseghian, leading the school to an undefeated season and a national championship in 1973. He also was an assistant at Notre Dame under coach Lou Holtz from 1992-95.

Clements is in his first season as offensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills.
