Friday Football Links

Perhaps it is only fitting that the last game between TCU and Utah as conference mates, is the biggest game in the history of the brief BCS-buster rivalry.

Fourth-ranked (third in BCS) TCU plays at sixth-ranked (fifth in BCS) Utah tomorrow at 3:30pm ET. The game has such high implications on the BCS picture that CBS College Sports made sure this matchup was included in the two-week free preview period that began October 25th.

To commemorate the occasion, I dedicate Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday"

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff met with US Department of Justice officials this week on a possible probe into possible BCS anti-trust violations.

Several lawmakers have criticized the BCS system and have called for a switch to a playoff system.

While the University of Utah will move to a BCS automatic bid conference next season, Shurtleff states that he is not doing it just for Utah.

"This has never been for me to get the University of Utah bragging rights," he said. He argues that Utah necessitating a move to a BCS conference gives him more credibility to recruit those that may join his anti-BCS argument.
