Texas Tech Red Raiders

Now that the college football season for 2008 has passed, the speculation begins of whether the BCS provided the country with a true national champion? Should there be a playoff? Who should be number one? Florida, Texas, USC or Utah? What conference is over rated due to their bowl record? Should Ohio State get another chance next year to go to a BCS bowl game and lose? Should the MAC champion University of Buffalo have gone to a better bowl than the first ever International Bowl in Toronto? Who will have the best recruiting class next year? What team should be the preseason number one ranked team? Will Tim Tebow jump into the NFL draft?

The last image I had in my mind when I went to bed last night was Sam Bradford’s smug face placating my television screen. His careless and UN-Interested demeanor just added to my frustration over Oklahoma’s 61-41 victory Saturday night.

Shonn Greene for the Heisman!  Is anyone with me?  Ok, I won't get that extreme, because I, along with other knowledgable college football fans, know that Sam Bradford should run away with the award.  Bradford's TD/Int Ratio has him as the front-runner for the Heisman, not to mention the fact that he's on a championship contending team.  It seems like that is the only thing voters are going to be caring to look for this year.  As I believe that Bradford should win, I believe that he is the only player who should be ahead of Shonn Greene.

This war is The Texas Tech Red Raiders verses everybody else. 

Texas Tech led by the brilliant Mike Leach and quarterback Graham Harrell have been marching their way straight through the Big 12 South. They have made victims of highly ranked opponents like Texas and Oklahoma St. and some not so high ranked teams like Massachusetts and Southern Methodist on their way to 10-0.

's start some of the BCS debates prematurely.

The Big 12 

If the Oklahoma Sooners beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders, then the triumverate that is Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech will be tied.

ing to take a position from the Texas Longhorns, Oklahoma Sooners, or the machine that has been the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Only two teams from any conference can compete in a BCS Bowl game during a given season. So, as spots are guaranteed to the ACC and the Big East, eating up possible bowl game positions, they will exclude the deserving and make match-ups after New Years that will send us quickly into basketball season. Do you really want to see Florida vs. Cincinnati?

What's up football fans?  Get ready for another high scoring week in Big 12 football, the deepest and most talented football conference in the country.  This is my first blog entry, so I thought I would start with my predictions for this upcoming week.  Just so ya know, I was born a Nebraska Cornhusker fan, so my favoritism towards the Huskers and disgust towards it's Big 12 competitors may show in my picks.
