Give me some Sugar

Not much I can add about the Sugar Bowl (debacle if you back the Tide, vindication if you're a Ute) other than to say wow. Didn't see it coming, nor did I see the thumping of Texas Tech at the Cotton Bowl.

And now, we wait for Fiesta and BCS Championship.

Pigskin Potpourri, Week 14

Hey, Big 12 bigwigs: Flip a coin next time.

This year's premier conference in college football couldn't figure out a way to break a three-way tie and crown a champion from its south division. Instead, the Big 12 punted and left the decision in the hands of the BCS, a system so ridiculous and unpopular that even our president-elect wants to eliminate it.

For a moment, let's set aside the obvious injustice that OU is headed to Kansas City despite a neutral-field loss to Texas at Fair Park. The Big 12's inability to handle its own affairs is downright embarrassing. Next time, fellas, you might as well take a page from the high school playbook: Get the three coaches together at a greasy-spoon cafe, borrow a quarter from the tip jar and ask Fate to settle what you can't.
