Got more than I bargained for... You kind of knew Oklahoma was going to do in Missouri, but Pitt to beat WVA? Wow! that's Stanford - USC territory.

It will be very interesting to see who gets in the BCS game... Question: Is the BCS NC game separate from the Sugar Bowl? I noticed several quotes saying LSU was all but assurred the Sugar Bowl.

There have got to be some conference commisioners wondering what the hell they're doing creating a league play off game.

Oh, by the way, if we draw LSU in the BCS game, and should happen to beat them, it's because they already played their NC game yesterday and playing OSU was probably the fifth biggest game on their schedule.

Yeah, same as the Fiesta last year, where there were "Two" Actually, there was only one (and there will be only one Sugar) but they were played in the same stadium. Techincally, the BCS title game has now "Bowl" name

BCS NC game is just that. It is separate from the Sugar Bowl and is not the Sugar Bowl and the quotes/reports you have seen are from the same enlightened folks in the media who will bash OSU for the next 6 weeks.

EDIT: BKB beat me to it.

Nick Saban’s Agent Contacts WVU ? West BY GOD Virginia

Sources close to University President Mike Garrison have informed WBGV that Nick Saban’s agent has contacted WVU regarding our vacant head-coaching position.
These sources tell us that Saban is extremely unhappy in Tuscaloosa and has failed to recapture the situation he had in Baton Rouge with LSU. The purpose of the agent’s call was to express initial interest in the position and to have WVU athletics put together a compensation package enough to lure Saban from Alabama. This package would not need to be as much as Saban is currently making at Alabama, but enough to not result in a 50% paycut. So, we’re obviously talking more than the $1.9 million former coach Rich Rodriguez was making.
Again, this is all very preliminary, but solid sources have confirmed that Nick Saban’s agent has contacted West Virginia University.
*** UPDATE #1 *** This report has been confirmed by the staff at WVSports.com. Unfortunately, it is posted on their premium board so that confirmation can not be reprinted here. Still, it has been confirmed.
*** UPDATE #2 *** Well, it’s not a stone-cold confirmation, but our friend Mike Casazza can’t verify that the story isn’t true. Pardon the double negative, but it looks like this baby certainly has legs.
Stay tuned.

At this point, I can't see people taking Saban seriously. I was OK with going from MSU to LSU, seems like a step up... I was OK with going to the NFL... I was even OK with him deciding it wasn't for him and going to Bama... But, a year with Bama and he's ready to bail?

Grocery store employees aren't the only job hoppers apparently.

Saban to WVU? What sense would this make? Rich Rodriguez was ready to leave WVU for 'bama and more money was involved--Saban is ready to take a pay cut to get out of Tuscaloosa? He made some good personal moves in the past but this one appears to be a symptom of dementia.
