While you're digesting all of those scores from Saturday night, the most important one might've flown under the radar: 220-215. Those five votes could mean the difference of all the bowl money ever spent in the history of college football ... and then some...
All the bowl talk could all vaporize if a few games don't go according to plan. But fear not, with the SEC and Big Ten refs carrying Blackberries to receive instant messages from their respective league offices, the "better" teams will find a way to win at the end. Trust me...
Let's go first thing first, since I made the pledge to investigate last week's inaccurate projection of the No. 2 team in the BCS Standings. Well, the findings turned out to be as simple as what the Warren Commission uncovered: A single shooter with a magic bullet...

1453. 1644. 1917. And now, Halloween 2009. Like the Byzantine, Ming and Romanov empires, all good things must come to an end. Such was the case for the Trojan Dynasty that has ruled the Pac-10 since 2002. In retrospect, it was easy to see that this was a rebuilding year for USC...
Mike Gundy may be a man now (at least he thinks so), but part of his everyday challenge is very much the burden foisted upon every boy the world over - making his daddy proud. Gundy's daddy, metaphorically speaking, of course, is T. Boone Pickens, a Texas oil man...
After the 2001 season, the BCS forced the computers remaining in the BCS formula to remove margin of victory (MOV) as an element in their respective algorithms. The reason, ostensibly, is that it discourages teams from running up the score since they wouldn't benefit from it...
The Guru's Report Card, through the second BCS Standings in 2009: (Click to enlarge) The only significant error this week is the misplacement of USC. I thought the Trojans would lose a few votes because of their closer-than-expected home victory over Oregon State...
The Guru's Week 8 BlogPoll ballot, with more in-depth explanations below: RankTeamDelta 1 Alabama 2 Florida 3 TCU 8 4 Texas 1 5 Boise State 1 6 Oregon 7 USC 2 8 LSU 9 Iowa 10 Cincinnati 11 Georgia Tech 1 12 Penn State 1 ...
Lane Kiffin came close. He was accused of not trying to win against Florida, but no such allegation may be lodged against him and his Tennessee Volunteers this week...
This week may be the calm before the storm. On Halloween, some of this year's BCS title contenders will be facing virtual elimination games. This week, their goal will be to get by overmatched opponents in the so-called "trap games" without suffering any damage...
It's only the first BCS Standings of the 2009 season, but there are enough clues to provide a glimpse at what will be the narrative the rest of the year, leading to the BCS title game at the Rose Bowl next Jan. 7...
The Guru's Week 7 BlogPoll, with notes below: RankTeamDelta 1 Alabama 2 Florida 3 Texas 1 4 Boise State 1 5 USC 1 6 Oregon 1 7 Miami (Florida) 2 8 LSU 2 9 Iowa 2 10 Cincinnati 2 11 TCU 3 12 Georgia Tech 3 13 ...
A couple of upsets, a few near misses, and a baseball game that just would not end made for an interesting Saturday, the eve of the 2009 season's first BCS Standings. Florida and Alabama both escaped with tough home wins against SEC foes. Texas held off Oklahoma again...
Much has been made about Saturday's game being Charlie Weis' best chance to beat USC since the Bush Push Classic in 2005. The Irish, mired in a seven-year futility against the Trojans, might not get a better shot anytime soon if they don't somehow pull it off this year...
