Looks like the Fighting Irish got KO'd before they even threw a punch.
Last night was the illegitimate BCS National Title Game between Notre Dame and Alabama. The Notre Dame haters had been calling the Fighting Irish overrated and not worthy of a title shot and just looking at last night's game makes it harder than ever to shut those guys up. It wasn't anywhere near being a close game. Notre Dame scored their first TD in the 3rd quarter after 5 TD's from Alabama.
Everything was working for Alabama. AJ McCarron threw for 264 yards and 4 TDs, the ground game ran for 265 yards and and 2 TDs, and Alabama had 227 more total yards than Notre Dame (529 to 302). Meanwhile, Notre Dame struggled, especially on the ground game getting only 32 rushing yards on 19 attempts.
Alabama cruises to a victory 42-14 winning their 3rd BCS title and 2nd in a row. It is the 7th straight national title for a SEC team. It is also Nick Saban's 4th national title.
Where the hell is Johnny "Football" when you need it? There is no doubt that Alabama and Nick Saban are in some kind of dynasty right now. You might as well just stop watching college football until Nick Saban is done at Alabama. I have for a while now (that mixed in with a few other reasons).
Still, congratulations to the Crimson Tide on winning another national title.... and also on next year's title and the next one and the next one...
P.S. As you noticed, didn't even bother with any of the other bowl games. I was tempted to skip this one as they all seem meaningless. This one just had more people shouting for no reason.

Both #1 and #2 Go Down, Irish Now the Top Team?
Just when we thought that the SEC would be out of the National title hunt this year, they are right back in shotgun with Notre Dame in the driver's seat.
This wild weekend among the top 4 teams has taken a very sharp left turn. #1 Kansas State and #2 Oregon needed to win out and they would basically be guaranteed for a National title game. Kansas State went on the road and faced Baylor and could not hold that offense back. A total of 7 TDs scored by Baylor (5 on the ground game) helped them dismantle the top team in the country 52-24.
As for the high powered offense of Oregon, they hit a huge forest with Stanford. The Cardinal came into Eugene and milked the clock for all it's worth holding that Duck offense to 14 points and forcing OT. After the Ducks FG hit the post to miss, Stanford came up and Jordan Williamson hit a 37 yard FG to win the game and upset Oregon 17-14.
As for #3 Notre Dame and #4 Alabama, meet your new National title contenders. The Fighting Irish KO'd Wake Forest 38-0 while the Crimson Tide washed away Western Carolina 49-0. Notre Dame will likely be #1 and Alabama will likely move into the #2 spot. Can these two teams hold out for a illegitimate title game?

#1 'Bama Falls to Texas A&M
I'm sure that most of the south would've wanted to read "Obama Falls to Mitt" but this will have to do.
College football hasn't been exciting for me this year with a couple exceptions here or there to blog about. Alabama losing at home to Texas A&M 29-24 is one of those rare instances. The Aggies somehow got off to a 20 nothing lead and managed to hold off Alabama in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide had a chance to take the lead late in the game but AJ McCarron was picked off by Deshazor Everetton on a 4th and goal chance at the A&M 2.
What do you know? Texas A&M manage to upset one of the best programs in the country in their first season in the SEC. Truly a huge victory for the Aggies and one that sends ripples through the NCAA. It looks like there will be no SEC team in either of the top 2 spots come the next polling period.
