Screen play a hit for Alabama in 21-17 win over LSU
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Until they break up the Bowl Championship Series in two years, the only thing left to do is shake it up. Tiger Stadium, on a Saturday night, seemed a perfect place to do it. Pittsburgh had a similar thought at South Bend and USC...

Top college football teams survive scares but all have issues
Only the presidential candidates had to make their closing arguments over the weekend. For the four undefeated college football teams vying for this year's national title, winning for now was good enough. It won't be like this in two or three weeks,...

USC is still a player in national championship picture
The University of Illegal Formations impaired its national title chances with an eight-penalty loss at Stanford and then abandoned the Bowl Championship Series ship with last weekend's 13-penalty defeat at Arizona. The team ranked No. 1 in the...

Taking it on faith that Notre Dame's 8-0 record is real
Unbuckling the mailbag: Question: I completely understand that you are the biggest USC honk in the land, but… the whole rest of the country is jumping on the ND bandwagon and you are being dragged behind in the dust. When are you going to give the...

Four-team playoff could be necessary this season in college football
This weekend's very impatient, 6-year-old kid-like, takeaway question is: Why wait? Can't we just convene a council of BCS bishops and start the four-team playoff now? It would be just like college football to have two spots available this year for four...

First BCS standings don't quite add up for Oregon
Oregon fans have been advised to stay away from sharp objects following their beloved Ducks' disturbing No. 3 debut in the first Bowl Championships Series standings. Third in the BCS is like fourth in the Olympics, but the good news is that this is the...

USC needs to root for the enemy Notre Dame up until it plays them
No one seriously believes Notre Dame can get to the national title game with eek-out victories over Purdue and Brigham Young parlayed with replay-reviewed goal-line stands against Stanford. Only the Southeastern Conference scores near-pointless points...

Kansas State's Bill Snyder may get shot at redemption for 1998
Mike Riley is an obvious coach-of-the-year choice given the double-double (with fries) charge he injected into an Oregon State team that finished 3-9 last year. The Beavers are 6-0 for the first time since 1907 and deserving of top-10 accolades. Bill O'...

It's not a great day for good teams in college football
It was a rotten day to be undefeated, or USC, or the BCS standings, which suddenly got indigestion. It was great to be Kansas State, Kent State, Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan State, Boise State, McNeese State — but not New Mexico State or...

Oregon vs. Alabama: Can Ducks swim against the Tide?
Unbuckling the mailbag: Question: Get with the program. You really think Alabama's offense can go round for round with the Ducks' offense? Darren Spicer Answer: You may have not heard about my recent religious conversion to SEC-anity. I actually cut...
