This afternoon we got word that FOX will not be matching ESPN's very substantial $500 million bid for the BCS bowl games. While the deal is not official (the BCS needs to accept it first) there is no doubt that the BCS will be moving from free TV to cable.

Well in case you have missed it although I don't know how you could. BARACK OBAMA HATES THE BCS!

Yes kids that is right. Our president elect is ready to throw his weight around and get some real changes done! Screw the economy! Forget global warming! Go club a baby seal!

But all jokes aside I love it! I really do.

Some new coaching vacancies have opened up across the country, especially in the past few weeks. If your looking to woo Tennessee farm boys or whatever the kind of people are in Washington then we may just have your job posting.

A look at some of the action that took place on Saturday

The University of Charlotte has recently announced their plans to start a football program by 2010. The eventual goal is FBS football but this is our time line for how things will play out.

No doubt you've seen enough powder-blue and Tyler Hansbourgh on the basketball court recently but it looks like over the next few years your going to be seeing a lot more of that baby cow blue on the gridiron.

Dennis Dodd, senior writer for CBS sports, wrote this wonderfully enlightened piece in which he discusses the BCS. As you many know I HATE THE BCS. But lets take a look at what Mr. Dodd had to say.

There is more to losing than meets the eye when it comes to losing. One thing we do know. Lose early.

This season is heating up. As teams are in the midst of conference play we have some very critical games this weekend. Starting with....

Until Thursday night #9 BYU had everything going for them. They were undefeated with a stellar QB, who was marching a campaign for the Heisman, and were on a crash course with the BCS. That all changed when they paid a visit to TCU, losing 32-7.

I don't think Michigan fans are happy unless they are shouting about firing their head coach. They yammered on about Lloyd Carr who had a 122-40 record. Blogs were dedicated to tearing down their coach who snagged them 5 conference championships and a national title.

Now we fast forward a few years and Rich Rodriquez has only been in office for less than half a season and already Michigan fans are up in arms about Rich Rod....

Some critical conference games have been played a number of teams are already on the outside looking in. Here is a roundup of the BCS conferences around the country.

Anyone who has followed this blog knows my dislike of the Big 10. I believe that it is the most overrated conference in all of college football. The routs of Ohio State the last two years in the National Championship game showed us that the SEC is just in another stratosphere.

But here we are this year watching Penn State climb up the ladder.

Michigan and Notre Dame to play ugliest game of the season.

I have not seen a team get this screwed in a very long time.

Lets set the stage.

There is less than 10 seconds left in the game and Washington is down 21-28 to #15 BYU. It is 3rd and goal for the Huskies and Jake Locker takes the snap and sprints to his left. He dodges a few tacklers and dives into the endzone. He jumps up and tosses the football over his shoulder and celebrates with his teammates.

But Jake Locker would not leave as a hero.
