It’s not the sports betting event of the year but no one can deny that Army/Navy is a fun rivalry in college football. I recent years, it’s been a track meet for Navy. Can Army, once again an underdog, pull off a shocker this time around?
All I really want to ask though is anything really FAIR when it comes to the BCS?
And this folks is why College basketball is better than college football. The gap between Texas and TCU was too great. Throw in the fact that Texas played a much harder schedule than TCU and they’re spot in the championship game is well deserved.
Tim Tebow is by far one of the most recognizable figures in sports, and in Florida he is considered a god. The Gators have never been lower than first in the BCS and AP rankings this season, and a 12-0 SU record has done a lot to bolster that.
Case Keenum and the Cougars did everything they possible could to garner national attention, but heavy losses to Texas El Paso and UCF killed their chances of going undefeated. Now they’ve fallen to 21st in the BCS Standings, and are tight favorites on the road against East Carolina.
