My Holiday Wish: A BCS Mess

NCAA Football:
Texas @ Nebraska +14
Let's see...Nebraska beats Texas, and TCU gets to play Florida or Alabama in the national championship.  Or will it be Cincinnati?  Or Boise State?  Wouldn't it be nice if the BCS was so messed up that they had to figure out some sort of playoff?  Tonight's game could help.  Nebraska's defense has only given up more than 20 points once this year (31 to Texas Tech) and their D is only allowing an average of 11.1 points per game, which is good for 3rd best in the country.  Texas is no slouch though, with Heisman candidate Colt McCoy leading the way on offense.  This should be an excellent matchup of an explosive offense vs. an explosive defense.  The wild card tonight will be Nebraska's offense and if they can show up and put some points on the board.  They are heavy underdogs and may even win outright and pull off the upset.  Defense will reign supreme tonight.  Nebraska +14

Not Just Basketball

NCAA Football:
North Carolina -6 @ NC State

Many of the great in-state rivalries take place today in college football with some big ones on tap: Florida-FSU, USC-UCLA, Virginia-VA Tech, but we like one in particular: UNC-NC State. Even though college basketball is in full swing now, North Carolina continues to impress on the football field this year. Ranked #23 and looking for a solid bowl bid, TJ Yates and the Tar Heels will take care of NC State today at Carter-Finley Stadium. UNC -6
