Florida State Wins A Positively Bonkers BCS Championship Game
Florida State looked to be shit out of luck tonight thanks to a taunting penalty after a scoring drive. The Noles quickly bounced back and returned a kickoff to go ahead of Auburn 27-24. The final minutes were an insane back-and-forth, but Florida State hung on to beat Auburn 34-31....

By Any Rational Measure, FSU Is The Better Team. So What?
College bowl games are far too fleeting and superfluous to serve as the basis for any lasting conclusions, even about the teams playing in them. In fact, if the 2013-14 bowl season has taught us anything–and I'd really prefer that it hasn't, but if it has, in spite of itself–it is that attempting to...
Here's The Taunting Penalty That Almost Cost FSU The BCS Championship
It's a moot point now, but following a late touchdown drive, Florida State was robbed of the opportunity to tie the game late because of a stupid taunting penalty.

Michigan State Beats OSU, Saves Us From One Final BCS Controversy
Michigan State beat Ohio State 34-24 in the Big Ten championship and will go to the Rose Bowl.

Ohio State Reacts To Auburn Upset Over Alabama
Whether Ohio State will actually get to, or deserves to play in, the BCS Championship is a debate we only have to endure for a few more months. Nevertheless, OSU is undefeated and Alabama no longer is. The Buckeyes are in a better position than they were when they barely survived Michigan and they'r...
The Final BCS Champion Will Be Legitimate, Like Always
Rumors of the BCS's humiliation were greatly exaggerated.

Why The BCS Mattered
Sunday night, the first edition of the Bowl Championship Series standings was released for the last time, to the usual fanfare and to at least one bewildered case of Stockholm Syndrome.
