"When you wish upon a star...makes no difference who you are...."-Jiminy Cricket
As I have a day chock full of meetings and events, my wishes are short and simple.
1. Please Texas, beat Baylor tomorrow. Win it for Colt.
2. The Aloha Bowl for Texas. ('Horns, remember you have to win at least 6 games)
3. Auburn and Oregon for the BCS National Championship. Sorry Boise, but I fell off your bandwagon when you announced you're moving to the MWC. If you want to be top dog you have to play with the big dogs.)

BEVO BLOG: B(c)S Edition
It's here, the first B(c)S poll of the season. Actually it comes out Sunday. The first rankings enroute to the mythical land of college football Oz, where computers and not performance rule. Who is that server behind the curtain?
It's possible Ohio State could top the AP rankings again, yet not be numero uno in the BCS. How can that happen? Again, it's a mystery. Could it be that all this is driven by, gasp, MONEY?
Ask Boise State what they think. I've heard some almost convincing arguments why Boise State doesn't belong in a "National Championship" game, even if they go undefeated all season. They didn't help their cause when they decided to bolt the WAC for the Mountain West Conference. If you want to play for the big game, you have to play with the big dogs. So why didn't they make a a run at the Big 12 to replace the CU Golden Puffs?
Within moments of the first BCS standings being released, the blogosphere will light-up, the arguing will begin and will continue until college football comes up with a genuine playoff system. The NCAA which runs incredibly successful basketball and baseball tournaments, can't seem to do the same with football. Again, a mystery.
Finally today, likely the last meeting between two great football programs, as Texas makes a last trip to Lincoln to take on the Cornhuskers, who are headed to the Big 10. Texas is the underdog and deservedly so. Nebraska is seeking revenge over the last second (59:59!) field goal by Texas in last year's Big 12 Championship Game. Nebraska fans have a reputation for being the most sportsmanlike in the game. We won't blame them if they rub a little corn in the proverbial wound, if they win.
IF...Texas were to win, wouldn't that just upset the BCS apple cart? But that would take me to the beginning of today's blog. An endless loop as it were. Better to quit while I'm ahead.
Cheer on your team. It's college football. The greatest game on earth.
