I bet my boyfriend David Lee is happy today. His alma mater, University of Florida, won their second BCS National Championship in three years last night, taking down the University of Oklahoma and 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford. I only watched the final quarter of the game, but I caught the brilliant interception by Ahmad Black that pretty much sealed the game for Florida.
Florida's famed QB, 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, is going to be a star in the NFL but will he enter this year's draft or go back to Florida for his senior season? The same question is being asked of Sam Bradford, who is a red-shirt sophomore at Oklahoma. The deadline for non-seniors to declare for the NFL draft is less than a week away on January 15th, so we won't have to wait long for the answers. Whatever move these hotties want to make is fiiiiiiine by me :)
Yeah, wow.
Congrats Gators!

BCS Playoff Endorsed By Obama
During his interview with Steve Kroft broadcast last night on 60 Minutes, President-Elect Obama says he believes that college football should have a playoff. Like many issues, I agree with the President-Elect on this issue as well.
Many say that it's because it would make the season too long for the players...However, I believe it's about money. For years, the BCS has had multiple bowl games which have different sponsors. Having a playoff would eliminate some of these sponsors and therefore would make less money for the BCS. However, this doesn't have to be the case. The BCS could sell naming rights to the rounds of the BCS playoff at a higher cost (because it's more games) than it could for a single bowl game.
If it's about making the season too long for the players why do they wait 3/4 weeks between Conference championships and bowl games? I sure know it's not exams. Let's be honest, these guys don't go to class and they sure as hell don't take exams.
BCS, do these kids a justice and make a playoff.
