Assorted Rants

Last time I checked, Alabama was a 8.5-10 point dog versus the Gators. While Florida has looked quite impressive and they do have tremendous team speed, I find it odd that no one gives the Tide much a chance against them. Various pundits across the media spectrum assume that Florida will play for the BCS Championship.

OU jumping Texas is total bullshit. The Longhorns beat the Sooners. My hope is that Mizzou upsets the defense-optional Sooners and Texas gets into the title game. 

So Lane Kiffin gets the head coaching job in Knoxville? Where aren't people howling about Tennessee not interviewing minority candidates? At present there are only two African-American head coaches in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) since Croom resigned instead of getting canned by Mississippi State. The guy who really deserves a chance is Charlie Strong, who was the defensive coordinator at South Carolina for a long time and is the current D coordinator at Florida. I also expect Turner Gill to move up to a higher profile school sometime soon. When a guy's made the U of Buffalo relevant in football, he's worked miracles.
