It’s not often that we at the Creatures are able to draw comparisons between Pacman Jones and NBC, but his weekend both made a splash by announcing pleads to keep and change their respective images.

The BCS National Championship Game is finally here. After tonight, college football fans will have to wait almost 8 months for another college football game (unless you count the Senior Bowl). Nonetheless, this is a very intriguing game and Barney is serving up his biggest Lunch Special to date. Be sure to tune in tonight at 8 PM on Fox to watch the #2 Louisiana State Tigers battle the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes in a winner takes all battle royal.

Last night we saw exactly why the BCS is so flawed. We saw exactly why the selection committee is dumber than Bill Walton for putting Illinois and Hawaii in the games. Illinois did not deserve to be playing in the Rose Bowl. Hawaii did not deserve to be playing in the Sugar Bowl (although, they were undefeated so it made more sense for them to get a shot at a BCS bowl). Both games were over before they started. Neither Illinois nor Hawaii ever threatened to make a game out of yesterdays’ contests. Thankfully, tonight we get to watch what should be, in my mind, the best BCS bowl game. Tomorrow night we get to witness what should be one of the worst BCS bowl games in history. The Va Tech-Kansas match up is going to be more boring than a Rome Is Burning feature film would be. Let’s focus on tonight’s Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, a game that last year turned out to be one of the most thrilling games in college football history.

As the saying goes, this time of the year is “the most wonderful time of the year.” And that’s not only because of Santa Claus, Hanukkah Harry, and the Kwanzaa gift giver. Everyone knows that it is because the slew of bowl games that invade the airwaves and have college football fans salivating. And even though we haven’t yet gotten into the thick of the bowl season (that comes tomorrow and on New Years Day), the games so far have not disappointed. From the thrilling game that Purdue and Central Michigan put on in the Motor City Bowl to the craziness we saw in the Pacific Life Holiday (Texas vs. Arizona State), this bowl season has yet again proved to be special. But what all college football fans look forward to the most are the BCS bowl games- the best of the best squaring off in what normally are the best games. *NOTE: INSTEAD OF POSTING ALL OF MY PICKS AT ONCE, I WILL POST THEM TWO AT A TIME, STARTING WITH THE ROSE BOWL AND SUGAR BOWL, THEN THE FIESTA AND ORANGE, AND FINISHING WITH THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP*

Explain to me West Va fans, how you can concievably boo one of your own, Rich Rodriguez, after his press conference yesterday? This man has taken the WV program to a whole new level during his seven-year tenure with the club.

Well, for Bobby Petrino at least he did…But so far, there have been countless cases of College coaches making the prolific leap to the NFL. Saban traded in his ‘Fins orange for some ‘Backs red, and likewise Petrino has dumped the 3-10 Falcons for an Arkansas team that’s losing their best player to the draft this year.

The BCS is more flawed than all of John Madden’s ridiculous catchphrases said together in one incredibly inane sentence. It reeks of more inconsistencies than Mike Velez’s heory that New England’s win on Monday night against the Ravens came without some divine intervention (it did, God is a Pats fan, this is clear to me now). It is so incredibly absurd and preposterous, that it puts Jim Rome’s Final Burn to shame.

As they say, all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, this applies to college football as we enter the final week of the regular season. Luckily, though, Saturday pigskin fans will not be disappointed by the slate of games this weekend. From a classic on ESPN at noon (Tulsa vs. UCF) to a real football game later tonight at 8 (Oklahoma vs. Missouri). In what has been one of the greatest college football seasons ever, it only is fitting that tonight’s game will decide the national championship. This afternoon’s game will feature the rematch of an epic game earlier this season. Another game will decide whether Hawaii makes it to a BCS bowl. Last year, USC was knocked out of the national championship game because of a loss to UCLA. This year they will look to avenge that devastating loss. And of course we get to hear another one of Lou’s Pep Talks. What could be better? And before I get to my conference championship picks, all I can say is thank you to all the coaches, players, and fans that made this college football season so special. In the words of Mark Messier, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” And now, on to the final regular season edition of the Saturday Lunch Specials picks.

The border beatdown that Mizzou dropped on Kansas really provided me a first look at the two star Quarterbacks: Chase Daniel and Todd Reesing. Now, I knew coming into this game, that both of these teams live and die by their leading men, and that was never more evident than the way that Daniel performed on the big stage.

Why would Barney be so excited on this day after Thanksgiving? Well, it’s not because of the “Black Friday” sales. And it is definitely not because of the Forensic Files marathon on CourtTV. No, it’s Rivalry Week in college football. Rivalry week, an event that even God watches himself. An event that the NFL Network dedicates 1 hour to preview the games. An event that John Madden describes as: “Well, rivalry week is when a bunch of the rivals, which are schools that become rivals because they disagree with each other, get together and play a game of football, and football is a game that is played with a ball and some men on a field that is 120 yards long, if you include the endzones which some people don’t because…” You get the picture (note that wasn’t an actual quote- John Madden would probably say something much stupider than that).
