Will we see another underdog make a cheerleader cry?

The BCS bowl season continues and after we saw the Boise State Broncos upset the TCU Horned Frogs at the Fiesta Bowl to make the beautiful TCU cheerleaders cry from the sidelines, the 5-point underdogs Iowa Hawkeyes EYE for the same as they take on Georgia Tech at the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl.

The Coastal Division champions Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets won the conference title with a thrilling 39-34 win over Atlantic Division champions Clemson Tigers at the 2009 Dr. Pepper ACC Football Championship at Raymond James Stadium on December 5. Led by the ACC Coach of the Year, Paul Johnson, the championship was the Yellow Jackets’ first outright ACC championship since 1990.

Georgia Tech has been to the Orange Bowl five times with its last appearance coming in 1967, in the final game coached by the legendary Bobby Dodd. They are looking for a successful sixth trip and with the team they have right now, the Iowa Hawkeyes are definitely in a whole lot of trouble.

Georgia Tech placed five offensive players and six players overall on the 2009 All-ACC first-team; quarterback Josh Nesbitt, running back Jonathan Dwyer, receiver Demaryius Thomas, guard Cord Howard, center Sean Bedford and defensive end Derrick Morgan. Morgan was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, the first Yellow Jacket to ever earn the award. He was also named as a first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association.

If the Hawkeyes want to come up with an upset…

The BCS Bowl season continues.

And this time, we have the 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl for you. This one features two undefeated teams in their respective conferences as the Boise State Broncos go up against the TCU Horned Frogs at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Both the Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs finished with unblemished records to win their respective conferences. Boise State finished 13-0 to win the WAC title while TCU finished 12-0 to win the Mountain West Conference.

The Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs have only met twice with both meetings occurring in big BCS bowl games. They collided last season in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl with the Horned Frogs winning an exciting 17-16 decision then. Boise State prevailed 34-31 in their first meeting on December 23, 2003 in the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl on TCU’s home turf.

For the past 10 years, the Broncos boast a 121-20 composite record for a .858 winning percentage that leads the nation over that span. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will be Boise State’s 10th bowl appearance and second BCS appearance in the past four seasons.

The Broncos ride into the Valley of the Sun after posting…

As expected, Alabama and Texas will play for the BCS national title.

So much for Tim Tebow’s last hurrah this 2009 NCAA college football season eh? In case you missed it, Tebow’s Gators lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide last weekend, 32-13, while the Texas Longhorns BARELY edged the Cornhuskers, 13-12, as the Tide and the Longhorns earned the invite to play for the BCS title.

It was a fitting end to what has been another awesome season. And after 14 weeks of college football, it’s going to be the Alabama Crimson Tide playing the Texas Longhorns on January 7 for the 2010 BCS national championship in a game between two Heisman trophy hopefuls, Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy.

Of course, like every other year the BCS selects its two championship teams, we have quite a few snubs again with each of ‘em worthy of playing for the title game as well.

This year, we have the No.3 TCU Horned Frogs, the No.4 Cincinnati Bearcats and the No.6 Boise State Broncos (again…) who have all finished the season undefeated just like Alabama and Texas. And the debate about college football’s way of choosing the two best teams to play for the title once again rears its ugly head and just like every other year, those folks from the BCS are standing by their decision.

”It’s a fair question,” said BCS executive director Bill Hancock…

Yeah, it’s still Florida.

As expected, the Florida Gators remain atop the BCS standings after Week 12 of the 2009 NCAA college football season.

The Florida Gators, which had to fight for a 10-point win at South Carolina, remain first with a BCS average of .9833, followed by the Alabama Crimson Tide at .9521 and the Texas Longhorns at .9261.

The nation’s three remaining unbeaten schools; TCU Horned Frogs, Cincinnati Bearcats and Boise State Broncos, are holding steady at fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

TCU, at no.4, is the highest ranked team that does not secure a BCS berth automatically by virtue of winning its league. This is the highest BCS ranking ever for any team without an automatic bid to any of the big money college bowl games.

There was no change in the top eight teams from Week 11 to Week 12.

Rounding out the BCS top 10 is Georgia Tech at No.7, followed by Louisiana State, Pittsburgh and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The top eight teams ranked in the 2009 BCS rankings in Week 11 did exactly what they needed to do to hold onto their positions as the week played out. Florida went on the road to Columbia S.C. and took care of business by defeating South Carolina.

The Alabama Crimson Tide ventured into hostile territory and manhandled Mississippi State while Texas stepped out of…

Week 10 of the 2009 NCAA college football season is history and the Florida Gators remain as the no.1 team in the nation.

You read it, the Florida Gators stay at the top of the BCS standings after Week 10. They preserved the number one spot with a 27-3 win over Vanderbilt. The biggest mover this week however was Texas.

That’s right, the Texas Longhorns jumped one place higher to grab the second spot from the Alabama Crimson Tide, who have now dropped to third in the rankings.

If both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators remain undefeated, they will have to play each other in the Southeastern Conference title game. The Iowa Hawkeyes and the Cincinnati Bearcats round up the top five teams after Week 10 in the BCS Standings.

Teams looking in include the TCU Horned Frogs and the Boise State Broncos, all unbeaten and hoping for the Gators, the Crimson Tide or the Longhorns to slip up.

And since Alabama faces a stiff test Saturday when the LSU Tigers travel to Tuscaloosa, it’s only a matter of time before either of these teams break through the top five.

The TCU Horned Frogs hold a slim lead over the Boise State Broncos in the race to be this season’s BCS buster. Both teams had lopsided victories over the weekend.

Other movers include the Oregon Ducks moving up two…

Well, they have to win this weekend first.

Yes, the BCS rankings after Week 8 of the 2009 NCAA college football season was released and Boise State is right there with the Gators and the Crimson Tides of the world.

This could be the year that the Boise State Broncos get the invite to play for the national championship. With their solid play, the Broncos have finally reached the level of respectability only reserved for the likes of Florida and USC. The question now is, can they keep it?

The Boise State Broncos, ranked No.4 in the nation, will look to stay undefeated and keep the respect they have right now as far as ranking them this concerned. They take on the San Jose State Spartans this Saturday.

Boise State, despite being listed fourth in the current BCS rankings, still has a lot to work on as seen in their past two games against UC Davis and Tulsa. Boise State’s struggles? Five of the Broncos’ eight turnovers have come on unforced fumbles, thirteen times the offense has reached the red zone but has not found the end zone, six of those trips the Broncos haven’t scored at all.

On defense, they are as bad as five of the 12 touchdowns they have allowed this season have covered at least 50 yards and since the Broncos haven’t forced a turnover in two straight games, this could be the perfect opportunity for the San Jose State Spartans to steal a win.

Unfortunately for the Spartans, they are also struggling…

Seriously, do you really have to know?

We’re asking you that because the way the Florida Gators have been tearing it up this 2009 NCAA college football season, it’s clear who’ll be staying on top of the food chain until the BCS bowl games of January get here.

Yes, the BCS rankings after Week 8 are out and as expected the Florida Gators are still kings. Tim Tebow and the rest of the Gators are 7-0 and first in the SEC. Florida’s latest victim was Mississippi State, winning 29-19 to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 17.

Breathing down their necks are still the Alabama Crimson Tide. These guys have not allowed a touchdown in eight quarters, ranking fourth overall in defense, allowing just 11.6 points per game. In their last game, they got a huge lift from Terrence Cody as he blocked a 44-yard field-goal attempt on the final play, his second block of the fourth quarter, as ‘Bama escaped with a 12-10 victory over rival Tennessee.

Following at third are the Texas Longhorns with a 7-0 record. The third-ranked Longhorns, with three new starters, began strong, maintained their concentration and cruised to a 41-7 victory to spoil the Tigers’ homecoming in front of a sellout crowd of 71,004 at Faurot Field.

They’ll meet No.15 Oklahoma State in Stillwater next Saturday, a game that probably will decide which team represents the south division in the league championship.

The Boise State Broncos are now ranked at No.4 overall, meaning the Broncos haven’t been…

Surprise surprise.

After all the drama and the emotional comebacks, everything is where it should be at this point of the 2009 NCAA college football season.

You read it, because after watching Tim Tebow go down hard that almost destroyed the world around Gator fans in Florida, the Florida Gators are once again on top of the BCS rankings.

Thanks to Tebow’s surprising return to the Florida Gators roster two weekends ago, the Gators were able to stay undefeated to be named no.1 in this season’s first BCS rankings. Their first test as the nation’s no.1 team this year is on Saturday when they go up against Mississippi State.

Not far behind are the Alabama Crimson Tide. Second in every statistical category compiled by the USA Today coaches’ poll and the Harris poll, the Crimson Tide is easily Florida’s biggest threat, so far anyway. If both the Gators and the Crimson Tide remain undefeated, they will play each other in the Southeastern Conference championship. A prelude to the BCS national championship game perhaps?

Sitting on third are the Texas Longhorns, joining Florida and Alabama in the top three. With the strength of their schedule, all three just need to win out to reach the BCS national championship game on January 7 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. At least that’s according to BCS analyst (yes, the BCS has analysts…) Jerry Palm.

The problem is, it seems history is not on their side…

We’ve seen a lot of interesting finishes on the football field the last few days.

For those of you who want more, the third week of the 2009 NCAA college football season should have enough fantastic finishes that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

That’s right, we have great games for you to bet on this week and since we still can’t forget what the Miami Hurricanes did a few days ago, we’re going to take a look who they have this week.

The Hurricanes got back into the AP Top 25, checking in at no.20 and virtually assuring they’ll be a ranked program when they next play the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Thursday.

The Hurricanes are fresh from a 38-34 victory over Florida State that came down to the game’s final play, which should keep them in high spirits when they play Georgia Tech. The problem is, the Yellow Jackets have beaten Miami four straight times, including a 41-23 laugher (it was 41-10 at one point) a season ago, a loss that kept the Hurricanes out of the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

Can the Hurricanes redeem themselves on Thursday? I have a…

In case you missed last Monday’s game between Miami and Florida State, you just know you can’t miss what we have for you this weekend.

Oh yes, the 2009 NCAA college football season continues this weekend with a couple of huge games that just might eclipse what most college football fans saw on Monday night.

First, the 6th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes get another shot at redemption Saturday when they tumble against the 4th-ranked USC Trojans in the Horseshoe of Ohio Stadium. If the Buckeyes want to finally lose the label of being big-game chokers, they need to play much better than they did in their narrow 31-27 season-opening victory over the Navy Midshipmen.

The way Ohio State opened up the season is a concern considering that the USC Trojans team they are facing this weekend just overwhelmed a San Jose State team that were simply outplayed in their opener last weekend, pounding the Spartans into submission, 56-3.

I don’t like Ohio State’s chances.

Next we have the Boise State Broncos looking for another inspiring defensive showing when they host the Miami RedHawks in the very first meeting between the two programs. In one of the most highly anticipated home games in Boise State history, the Broncos defeated then no.16 Oregon 19-8 last Thursday night. Boise State looked impressive in the opener, controlling the line of scrimmage and pushing around the Ducks, the first ranked team to visit Bronco Stadium for a regular-season game.

On the other hand, scoring points is something that eluded…
