Bowl season & the NFL

The college football season has blown by again and we have our bowl matchups. Despite not being a fan of the evil BCS, I do like some of these matchups. I'm looking forward to Oregon v Ohio St. in the Rose Bowl and Florida v Cincinnat in the Sugar Bowl. The championship game matchup is decent with Texas v Alabama, but I'm not overly excited about it because Texas got lucky getting there.

Notre Dame's new head coach will be Cincinnati's Brian Kelly, a solid choice I think. He had great success at Cincinnati and built a solid team, something the Irish really need. I can't blame him for leaving for Notre Dame. Clearly, the BCS computers have made it clear that the Big East conference isn't good enough even if you go undefeated during the regular season and win your conference outright. So why stay when you can't win it all there? It will be fun to watch the Irish build a winner.

As the NFL playoffs approach, the Colts and Saints are still undefeated at 12-0. I can just imagine how crazy a super bowl we would have if both teams are undefeated going into the game! We are talking about the highest rated super bowl ever for sure. What a wild atmosphere that would be.
