College football is confusing

October 15th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

Depending on your perspective, this season’s college football madness is either a cold, desolate landscape in which your favorite powerhouse is fighting for its very existence, or it’s a post-revolution utopia, and, I don’t know, everyone is doing all of the things people associate with utopian bliss. (Free love? Soft drugs? No AOL commenters? Sign me up!)

The craziness wasn’t born Saturday. It has, however, been surprisingly lasting, and now that Ohio State has had their asses crowned it’s really only a matter of time until they lose to a mediocre team. Newly minted number one teams have but one calling this season: to suffer some sort of inexplicable, shocking loss at the hands of traditionally weak program. To do anything else would fly in the face of this year’s new tradition.

Still, the most shocking thing about the weekend? No, it’s not South Florida at No. 2 in the BCS. It’s that some college coaches actually don’t like each other (HT: Wizard of Odds):

Others? They use naughty language (HT: SbB):

Like everything else about this season: Who knew?
