Brendan had a blast at Rachel Jones Spicer's wedding. Congrats, Rachel & Todd!
After Oregon's double-overtime win over Arizona, "Civil War" with Oregon State will decide Pac-10 title, Rose Bowl berth - http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf...
UConn beats Notre Dame, 33-30 in double overtime at ND Stadium on Senior Day. Another 6-6 season for the Irish?
Make that 17-17. UConn scored TD on kickoff return as sleeping-baby pic was uploading.

Brendan is watching ND-UConn with a sleeping baby in my lap. Good times.
@INSIDEtheBCS ...remote equivalence b/w a debate over which 10-2 teams get in and a debate over which 12-0 teams get in is utterly absurd.
@INSIDEtheBCS Still waiting for you to show a shred of honesty & acknowledge the HUGE difference b/w excluding #3 and excluding #9 or #17.
@INSIDEtheBCS You keep saying there will always be controversy over who's left out, which no one denies. But pretending there's any...
@INSIDEtheBCS Conversation would be far more worthwhile if your lines of argument were actually honest. More propaganda than discussion now.
Boise and Utah State tied, 7-7, early 2nd Q. Proof Boise is unworthy? No. Texas and Wyoming were tied at 3-3 at this point in their game. *#
@INSIDEtheBCS We're talking orders of magnitude difference. If you can't acknowledge this difference, you are being utterly dishonest and...
@INSIDEtheBCS ...cynically letting the "perfect be the enemy of the good" in order to promote your organization's narrow agenda.
@INSIDEtheBCS No #9 or #17 team has a legit claim on being the nation's best team. Lots of #3 teams do. Possibly a few #5s. No #9s.
Brendan loves the smell of hot chocolate. It reminds me of NHS home football games on chilly fall nights.
@INSIDEtheBCS ...information to reasonably select only 2 teams. Controversies over who should be ranked #8 vs. #9 or whatever are tolerable.
@INSIDEtheBCS @javahawk At-large bids also necessary b/c of Notre Dame. But that's fine; rankings aren't the problem. The problem is...
@INSIDEtheBCS ...a controversy over who's #2 and a controversy over who's #8 or #16 (or who gets the fifth vs. sixth at-large spot).
@INSIDEtheBCS I'm not denying there would be selection controversies in any system, but surely you recognize the vast difference between...
@INSIDEtheBCS ...selecting only TWO teams out of ~120, based on an inevitably unbalanced, chaotic 12-game season. There just isn't enough...
@msarens @INSIDEtheBCS How is this remotely true? Those games exist in spite of current system, not because of it. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa...
@uscpsycho (God bless Trojan Hall!)
@INSIDEtheBCS If "NFL-style" playoffs make regular season "meaningless," why is everyone still talking about Belichick's decision vs. Colts?
@slmandel @PeteThamelNYT I still don't understand the "have to" part. What's the consequence if they don't? Big 12 has a temper tantrum?
@msarens @INSIDEtheBCS BCS encourages sched cowardice: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa.... Playoff would reward (or at least not penalize) good schedules.
@INSIDEtheBCS A lot more $$$ for the whole system, but not necessarily for the individual vested interests. Still all about $$$.
@smeedd @INSIDEtheBCS Please acknowledge there is a huge, huge, HUGE difference between excluding #3 and excluding #9 or #17 or #33 or #65.
@msarens @InsidetheBCS See, e.g., Fla-FIU, Bama-Chatt. This is rational w/ BCS, esp 4 SEC teams. Why risk a loss? Just cruise to title game.
RT @uscpsycho Co-ed dorms fuel unhealthy behaviour, sex, drinking: http://www.newkerala.com/nkfulln... | They also fuel future happy marriages, in my case.
If Oregon wins at Arizona tomorrow, and Oregon State wins at Wazzu, the "Civil War" in Eugene on Dec. 3 will be for a Rose Bowl berth. Wow.
