It's Louisiana Tech's turn to try to crack BCS elitism
Time is running out to champion a worthwhile cause. "Death to the BCS" is settled law and "Save the WAC" didn't seem worth gumming up a car bumper. The "West Virginia Defense Fund" closed shop after the Mountaineers' offense showed that it didn't need...

West Virginia's Geno Smith more than passes as Heisman favorite
