The BCS Championship Game is one of the most anticipated game of the college football season. But does it even really matter?
Just like in the NFL, college football is broken down into divisions and conferences. But that’s where the similarities end. College Football’s structure is completely different. And weird.
There really wasn’t a lot going on in (my) sporting world last night. The big story was the Fiesta Bowl and I’m going to admit right now, I didn’t watch it. I mean hello, it was the season premiere of The Bachelor, day two of Superstars of Dance plus Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill returned! It was a big night in my world and my DVR was quite busy! However, I was texted with two minutes left in the game and told to tune in because interesting things were happening.
Here’s last night’s recap:
I’m going to try to give you some stuff about the Bowl Championship Series. These are the one’s people get really into (think of them as the Limoges of football bowls.)
Before I break all the bowls down for you, I have to give you more about the biggest and best college bowl of them all, and my personal favorite: The Rose Bowl!
I read the origins but I am not entirely convinced that this still isn’t a big ploy to get women to watch football. It’s roses! We are suckers for flowers!
First of all, what the heck is a bowl? Could football players not say “football playoffs” so it got grunted out “bowl?” I’ve often wondered but never really thought to question it, it is what it is. The Super Bowl. And my favorite: the Rose Bowl. That one just sounds pretty.
Turns out “bowl” came about because the first post-season college football games took place in the Rose Bowl Stadium. (Aha! Finally we know which came first the chicken or the egg! I mean the stadium or the playoff name. The Rose Bowl Stadium was named for its bowl-shape design NOT because it is the host of the Rose Bowl. The tourney is named for the stadium)
Stiletto Sports has come under quite the viscous attack in the last week and it’s time to defend ourselves!
